This major bug should have been caught in beta and fixed before launch.
Lol, I wish it worked this way. I'm a tester and let me tell you something, first rule of testing is there is no bug free software, it is technically impossible. It's all about the evaluation of risks.
This said, I'm really curious what is the problem and hope we get an exhaustive statement on it. The fact that EU is not down frankly baffles me and makes me think of a combined Na DB/login server problem.

Never said the game should be prefect. There will always be bugs like a hotel room. Major issues like randomly logging into another player account using your inform should have been caught during Beta assuming that is what they are fixing.

I'm getting a real sour taste in my mouth.
I have played the entire elder scrolls series and enjoy it tremendously...

That doesn't make it acceptable for companies to release an unfinished game to the public. It's 2014, technology is there to make hot fixes without bringing down servers. Gaming companies are getting worse and worse when it comes to standards and we gamers just take it up the arse. It does get old after awhile.
That's probably a good idea if you're upset by what's happening at the moment, it's entirely to be expected as nearly all MMO launches over the last few years have been like this, and in some cases (Rift, SW:TOR, FFXIV V2) a lot worse.it makes me question my own judgement and might in the future impact my decision to preorder games.
The additional $20 you paid for the Imperial edition does not cover early access; only entitlements such as the Imperial race, horse, crab and rings are part of that cost. You can not argue that a cost associated with your purchase is a reason for your frustration if the resulting down time costs nothing.
Taking down the servers to limit the damage is actually very smart.
Damage control might very well be why the had to shut down. Having it snowball into 100k or more mixed up accounts (if it has not yet) would not be good.
I am glad I do not have to administer and troubleshoot the databases they must have.
I am also glad I have to work so could not play anyway.

These are a few things you can do: clean your room, take a shower, home work, study, chores, exercise, fill out a job application (if needed), paint, cook a meal. In other words life goes on for those that have lives. I can guarantee all the complaints and crying wont take a minute off from the down time.
