Of course you can blame the devs for not organizing proper testing. If a certain (major) feature in the game requires 80 vs 89 players, than they should make sure it's been tested extensively before releasing it. When that can't be done by volunteers on the fly, they should pay people to do so on a fixed day.

Blizzard is a standard in the gaming industry, I'm a happy wow customer. But the way some things seems to be done in the gaming industry ... I don't think they would get away with that if they were to develop applications in the real world. Ever since the release of 4.0.1 I have the feeling to be a tester who has to pay to fine tune their product. A simple example: I still can't queue up for more than 1 specific bg at a time. This bug happens on many toons, but not all. And gm's say there is nothing they can do. Just think back about all the bugs over the past 2-3 months, since people seem to forget this pretty fast (slow flyer after icc / toc wipe; horseman event that would lock out and freeze your raid, people being stuck in bg's for ages, random booting from a bg, not being able to join a bg that pops; ... etc). I'm playing wow now for almost 1,5 year, and to me it just feels that the quality of the game I was impressed with at the start is no longer there.
