looking at the above you have to wonder if it was worth its own patch !

Small patches are nice in my opinion. I would rather have 10 small patches than one big one....just seems to be less downtime and major errors/glitches when blizz only has to worry about a few changes at a time!

hmm in my experience everytime they patch something we have downtime and lose playing time.

they always end up with servers needing rebooting, peolpe unable to login etc

you'd think by now they would have learned how to do it !

I think u can never test all possibilities on test-realms when dealing with software.
The realtime servers are always a different story.
I'm a software-developer myself, so i know with which problems blizzard deals (maybe not in the same size :wink: ).

Even with the smallest patch, there can go million things wrong.
