So all these bugs are normal?
Yes, its a part of online gaming.
Which does open up a discussion over if it should be part of online gaming. If it were part of single player or even multiplayer games in general people would be, quite rightly, complaining about it and possibly even demanding refunds.
But simply because it's an MMO we're supposed to accept highly buggy software releases. It's frankly not a distinction I make and nor should you. True, no programmer sets out to write bad code (I know I don't) but simply because a game is an MMO should not excuse it from being a buggy mess and the flack that generates.

wait did someone just say that one player games don't have bugs?
No. I actually said that there is generally more acceptance in an MMO being buggy (be it show stoppers or minor niggles) than there is a single player game and that this should not be the case.
I did not, at any point, state that single player games or indeed regular multiplayer games are bug free. Nor do I feel the language I used could be construde that way.
So... U JELLY?

players) can just say "Hey, at least it's not as bad as boot.ini"
Newthink at it's best.
EVE came out after the rise of NT and its siblings (3.51, NT4, 2K, XP, etc) 3 of those listed I know have BOOT.INI. Designing a game which has a file, named exactly the same as a core OS file of a popular OS your game is likley to encounter is... dumb. "Get out and don't bother asking for a refferance" grade dumb. Patching that file and not having insane levels of sanity checking surrounding it, to make absolutley sure you don't have a space between C:\ and the location of your file... is a similar grade of dumb.
It's also a lesson in thou shall not run as Administrator and anything trivial (like a game) that requires such can bugger off and be ignored as a waste of disk space.
It's a badge of shame and CCP will be wearing it for a good long time as far as I'm concerned.

It is, however they are also allowed to poke fun at themselves about it. To believe they view it as a badge of honor is Trollthink at its best. 
True dat. Got no problems with the video they did of throwing the guy of the roof (even made my laugh) but... yeah.

OP obviously has never programmed anything sophisticated.
You pulled WHAT from WHERE?!!? ARE YOU SEVEN SHADES OF STUPID! DO NOT PUSH THAT BACK! *watches CVS tree explode*
Does the OP want to program anything complex and sophisticated? That's the question. :D
