Of course people are going to discuss bugs they are experiencing and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as they realize that just because they are experiencing a problem it does not automatically mean that "everyone" is experiencing problems.
These forums tend to consolidate issues and problems, often making issues look far more widespread than they are. I am in contact with hundreds of different people in game every day, and literally thousands of people since this expansion went live. Remarkably few people out of that cross section are experiencing any major issues, less in fact than any large expansion I have since the game went live.
The problems that have been coming up have boiled down to 3 basic ones.
1: Desync. Yep, as this new code hits the main population people have hit lag and desync issues. This happens every patch, is pretty understandable, and is already getting better. Anyone who has played for a while knows this issue will be resolved over the next couple of weeks, and is in fact already smoothing out in most areas.
2: Skill Que. It has been buggy for a few (very few) folks that I have spoken with. The work around is very simple and should not take long to hammer out either. For most it seems to already be working without issue.
3: Probing. Frankly, the only problems I see people discussing have turned out to be user error as people try to wrap their heads around the new scanning mechanics. I'm not saying that under certain circumstances bugs in the system don't exist, but it doesn't appear to be affecting anyone I'm in contact with (and most folks are using the scanning system pretty heavily right now). It could use some fine tuning, but that is a different issue.
I do wish the expansion could have been out for a couple of weeks before the boxed set hit the shelves, and we might lose a few newcomers here and there, but this release really hasn't been all that bad. In a couple of weeks the forum threads will all concern balancing debates or trolling again as normal.
