The game client is unnable to gain acces to the log-in server at this time

The forum is down as well. What kind of moron ties a forum and a game to the same server pool?

I still can't understand what is so "godawful" about free new content... it just makes no sense. Its like having an excellent piece of cake you're loving, but are almost done with, wishing you had more, and then a waiter comes over to you with another piece and you get all upset with him for bringing you more cake... I mean, WTF?

it's downloading then stops, but must be a big one to keep losing connection. But I am downloading, and growing my beard at the same time.

If the additional cake has nuts added, some people are allergic to nuts. I guess it's the same with GW2 and new content. Mind you, I'm not allergic to nuts and I appreciate new content!

It's easier to just link two things.

1) This awesome video on power creep
2) This awesome article, which covers gear grinds

login server is up again, at least for me. I can confirm that I am receiving files, though slowly (lots of traffic eating bandwidth)

I'm getting waiting for authetication when I try to log in, it says I've switched IP's but I haven't. It just keeps loading forever.

Because I would like them to take the weevils out of my current piece of cake before they give me another piece which also contains weevils.

If you find weevils in a piece of cake, only an idiot would want them removed so they could eat it... you just wouldn't eat it... in fact, you should walk out of the restaurant angry, and never come back. So with this analogy, the question actually becomes "Why are you still here?" Seriously, why? Go play whatever it is you think is better.

I'm sorry but that analogy makes this sentiment make even less sense. No one is forcing you to play, so if you don't like it, don't, but don't sit there and complain about things they're adding for people who like the game. I mean really... if you expect any company to take a game you don't like and make it something you do, you're pretty far gone. That's what other games are for. So go find one if you feel that way.

You completely missed my point. The game has bugs. The official forum is chock full of complaints about bugs and complaints about features that were promised and never delivered. Why should they prioritize new content over delivering the quality product they promised?

I should also point out that nowhere do I say anything about being unhappy with this game. To the contrary, I play this game every single game and I happily overlook all of the bugs I see, once I verified that they have been reported.

Also, you seem very hostile. I would recommend a prosac.
