First, just because something isn't the worst, doesn't make it bad. This is bad.
Secondly, though I wasn't there for WoW's initial launch and I don't play SimCity, D3's launch was not all that bad. There was a day of excessive lag that not everyone experienced, and the biggest problem (the log-in issue) was solved within 24 hours. Rift's launch was fairly smooth as well, save for queues on the most populated servers. Aion's launch was ridiculous with 36+ hour queues, but at least you could play the game when you got in. TERA's launch was relatively smooth as well; there were some server queues and such but not much else.
Squee's been working on these same bugs for weeks. Weeks. That's the problem here. They should have this worked out by now, but they don't.
It doesn't help that the JP servers appear to be having 0 issues. Â It gives the appearance that they don't care about the NA/EU players and only care about the JP players (which apparently was an issue in FFXI and the 1.0 version of the game).
People seem to misunderstand that JP and EU/NA are on two different sites. It could have just as easily gone the other way and JP had the problems arise, but i'll take a guess and say NA+EU is a bit more stress heavy, and if i'm not mistaken it is handled by a different company
