How long will you suffer bugs and outages?
In the 10 days since its head start launch, Guild Wars 2 has suffered multiple outages and bugs, seemingly a new one every day. Even if we discount those players who lost their accounts to hacking, we've still seen players affected by in-game mail outages, exploits, overflow bugs, character creation and deletion issues, server transfer problems, guild system implosions, and a new email authentication system (which was meant to reduce the rate of hackings) that rendered even some Massively commenters and staffers unable to play the game over chunks of this holiday weekend.
Perhaps the issue affecting the most people over the course of the last week has been the near-permanent offline status of the Black Lion Trading Company, the game's auction hall. Quaggans are cute and all, but I'm starting to get impatient myself; I've yet to see the trading post live for even a minute.
So today we're wondering when exactly your patience runs out when it comes to large-scale MMO launches and their immediate aftermath. How long do you give a just-launched game to get its act together before you give up and go back to more established, tried-and-true MMOs? And if you leave in a huff, do you forgive and forget and return when the game has settled down?

The first month is ok but after that the biggest bugs must be solved.

Yeah, then it gets to a quite problem if they cant even fix it after 1 month, wierd as stress tests were quite spot on clean most times

As long as they show that they're putting some effort into actually sorting the bugs then i'll let them off, but they have to sort out the large ones first. However I just get fed up with some games. Even though they aren't mmo's, i'm getting sick of Bethesda's releases being extremely buggy to the point that it almost puts me off playing them =/. However i find myself more lenient of mmos since they consist of a much larger community and have so many people online at once.
