I have played a lot of mmo's and other games, some new some old and even then maintenance is never more than 30 mins at max an hour or some that don't even do regular maintenance and do not need it or the do it while dropping content patches....

So why do we still have 2hr+ weekly maintenance in the year 2015 almost 2016?

Seems a little unnecessary?

    Well it seems a lot of these issues just come down to needing to spend more on support/infrastructure/servers....

    Maybe if they spent less on marketing...

    The reason consoles dont get updates often is because of Sony and Microsoft control the entire user experience from start to finish and make devs jump through extra hoops before signing off on anything....

    Another reason why PC will always be better than consoles....more user control and the users ability to modify...can't do nothing on console without sony/ms saying so...plus the idea of having to pay for an internet connection and then paying microsoft again just to use it...baffles me...

    I would know what mmo you have been playing that only have 30 min maintenance for those i have play do have up 5 hour maintenance only time the have hade a so call fast maintenance is when the just restart the server other wise the have as long maintenace as ESO if not longer sometime.

    You don't understand, someone can't play the game at a non-peak time (unless they're from one the pacific time zone) so they need to be angry. Three hours without a game is the end of the world.

    They are not able to; play another game, read a book, watch a movie, go take a shower and do some chores, walk the dog, give their significant other a hug, or any other activity... BECAUSE ESO IS DOWN!

    Maybe you quit those other mmo's because their maintenance was poor and thus affected the quality of the game.

    Actually it's more fps drops, which happen on console too (I play on pc and ps4) but the biggest difference is.

    Pc starts at 60fps, so dropping to 30 fps for instance is heavily noticeable on a decent screen, there's also an indicator in the bottom left of the screen for fps/ping. My fps hasn't dropped below 30 in pvp yet.

    Console starts at a maximum of 30 fps, and then drops much lower, I've experienced it myself multiple times.
