You know I can actually understand an extended maintenance and even be ok with it. The really baffling part is how does so much crap break all the time when there isn't any patch or maintenance. Group finder randomly stopped working last night. EU trader bids go wonky all of a sudden. I'm sorry ZOS but no other game I know of constantly has so many things breaking all the time when there wasn't even a patch, so many server issues, connectivity issues, ect, ect.. Companies with smaller teams, less resources and shoe string budgets do a much better job.
After almost 6 years I still don't get why EU maintenence has to be at the same time as NA? No other MMO I've played does this. They do the eu maintenance at a time that is more suited for the majority of the players, like 6-8am!
