What a wonderful example of the black-or-white and false dichotomy fallacies. Logic, gramps. You should maybe know how it works before you start giving out lessons.

Oh I perfectly know how it works. It works like this: players are paying money, they are the customers. ZOS provides game, they are the service, and they should serve their clients. And we constantly see them failing to provide that service with such kind of issues occurring on regular basis.
Customers shouldn't be interested to hear for yet another time that "we got the issue, we fixed it, we swear!", nor should they be interested in why exactly does it happen and what kind of heartbreaking story ZOS has behind it (and its not like they're telling us anyway, referring to generic "internal issues"). Customers are listening to excuses on alarmingly increasing rate.
And this is actually a trend: customer's chill attitude is taken for granted by many companies these days. They think that everything is totally alright just because users don't throw rotten eggs at them, and that's a huge misconception.

Of course, you can go all defensive on ZOS and say how "hard" it is for a company like them to solve all those issues. That kind of attitude is what modern customer is - paying underqualified workers for their incompetence and feeling sorry for those said workers not being able to do their job. Surely, in eyes of such a person I look like an all negative grump who only has demands. But you know what? I have demands for a reason. I want companies to work better and harder, otherwise everyone going to feel sorry for one another not being able to do their job and we'll be having situations like this. And then even your ISP would be telling you how they work day and night to resolve issue and recommend you posting memes in a linked thread while you're experiencing issues you should never have had to begin with.
And on note of how it works... You know, people who have no insight in it at all shouldn't even use such a phrase. They're not even able to tell if a person actually knows something about it or not. I suggest you stop throwing that phrase around if you don't want to end up telling nuclear physicist that he doesn't know how sun works.
