Prior to 1.6 the game was patched maybe once or twice a month. Both the downtimes and the actual patch contents were significant. Every other Monday was a non-patch maintenance that usually lasted only 1-3 hours at most. This was good.
Now I know we all want to see the game be as good as it can be, but since 1.6 it seems we are having a 6+ hour full patch every single Monday. The problem with that is, these "patches" are so small as to be pretty insignificant, leaving many concerns waiting for the next patch.
What I would like is a return to doing less frequent patches that actually do more. Since you have to take the whole thing down and test anyway, I for one am really getting tired of these 6-hour patch Mondays every single week for patch notes I could fit on a napkin.

(Poll) 6 hours every Monday or 8 hours twice a month? 19 votes
Do patching less often and handle more critical issues.
Do 6-hour "minor" patches every monday regardless.
