The transition may be fraught with frustrations for the players, but - believe me - the Devs are practically killing themselves trying to get all the pieces together and make everything work.

QFT/E.
I *so* wish more players would remember this. With every update or bullet train thread, it seems more and more players are starting to see the devs as having about as much right to feelings and courtesy as the pinatas that we all beat on in the game. I realize a certain amount of the 'are we there yet?????' posts are good, because it means people are still 'chomping at the bit' to play the game, and are still jonesing every minute things are down, but by contrast those posts don't have to include sarcasms like "*grunts* it's been TWO HOURS since we heard anything, wtf are the devs doing, sleeping?!?!" (when it's midnight, bear in mind, when those who aren't insomniacs usually *are* sleeping)
Some players have made mention of 'all this money EA is making off of us, without realizing, or failing to mention at least that that amount of money isn't enough for the game to be turning a profit, so it's obviously not 'all that much' money. It might be a significant amount to us individually, especially those with 4+ accounts, but in the grand scheme it's a drop in the bucket, corporately speaking so that needs to be put into perspective some, IMO.
