There is no such thing as a bug-free anything in computer science. The only thing they could do to avoid this sort of situation would be for them to hire 30,000 quality assurance testers. And I seriously don't think that CCP has the funds to hire 30,000 professional testers full time.
Here is an idea:
Do things one at a time, instead of in huge chunks of unmanageable mess. But then they can't do magazine articles and promotional stunts. The fact that after each major patch we have an influx of new players (or re-ignition of interest of old ones) is exactly why CCP is going for this type of "impressions first, get it to work properly later" policy. But that has nothing to do with the people trying to fix things, it has to do with the people that make CCP policies.
u sir are spot on

[1] the talk of "CCP brings out half finished products" - how many software producers do you know that actually release a finished product onto the market now?
I would say in the region of 1% of all software released is actually 100% ready-to-go on release.
[2] 32K users?
I may pay but I can accept a certain amount of downtime after such a big patch and to be involved in the largest number of people online at the same time is always a pleasure.
Orcs and Mages ftl, keep giving me things to blow up and im a happy man.

rofl, why do you think we have Kali/Revelations coming in three parts to begin with? Would you rather have Castor where you couldn't log on for two days (I'm serious, two days pretty much)? That expansion did as much as the whole Kali will I daresay. And that launch was the only time CCP has ever given a global re-imbursement to players for lost days.
Splitting up expansions even more just isn't costeffective. There is a certain amount of stuff that *needs* to be launched at the same time.
Let's say they launch Contracts as a separate patch from everything. Contracts is bugged to hell. They fix the bugs, Contracts works smoothly. Then CCP decides to launch Salvaging. Salvaging, being bugged by itself, also breaks Contracts. Now CCP has to fix Contracts *again* while also fixing Salvaging. The result is that CCP has done twice the amount of bugfixing for Contracts while it could have been much easier if they launched both things at the same time.
Apart from this talk and all... Did you guys see at all that the problems, from what I understand from Sharkbait, isn't related to Revelations as much as everyone thinks? And that the problems couldn't have been sorted by testing?
Expansions like this are not a 100% publicity thing. It's a necessity.
Meh, why do I bother.

For sunday night with a record 32k people on things were rolling fine, comparably, until 2 POSes sieged by the Goons came out of reinforced I'd say.
It's getting to a point where you want an ear on the major alliance channels just to know a little in advance when someone is going to pwn a node.
