TR was open beta right before it was realised - what did you expect to happen during the week it was down? A complete revamp and 1000 hours man work?
Quit trying to disguise your anger as a debate :P

I read alot of the arguments here and from what I can tell most of you are confused as to what MMO's truly are. MMO's are made to continuosly grow, there is technicaly no such thing as end game content as level caps are normally raised and new items are introduced in order to keep the game world alive and to keep it from becoming stagnant.
A MMO never gets what some call end game content untill much later in its life, those Items and mobs come later along with added content. I would be wary of any mmo introducing those items at the start of it's life, and I would avoid it thinking that future content might be a very very long time in coming.
Also I can tell that many of you have no experience as a programmer, or in writing code at all. Each update and exspansion to a MMO consists of millions and some times trillions of lines of code, everytime new code gets introduced to the old code something breaks, the big breaks are obvious as nothing works anymore. The smaller breaks are the tough ones to catch and are the problem that plagues all MMO's and all software as well.
I do however agree with a good number of the comments about how the industry has lost it's scruples. Not so long ago had any devoloping house released a game full of the bugs that we are seeing in todays games it would have spelled there doom, no amount of patches or promises would have saved them, the bad part is that we the consumers have seen so much of this that we no longer pay attention to who is producing trash and who is producing quality and ultimately the blame for this falls back on us.
The bottom line is this. Fallow the advice of a previous poster and wait, do not be the first to rush out and pay to play that MMO you are dying to play. Hold out a few weeks and do your home work on the state of that game, If you can live with what you have learned about it, then by all means go play.
