Yes, this was the exact same reason why I quit. And there were a couple threads about it right before I quit and I myself opened one which received multiple pages of complains and agrees aswell.
I will not re-sub to this game until they have fixed the server issue and implemented another major addon, like Khitai.
The latest crowd-funding project about PETS and Achievements is so incredibly unnecessary, that I see no future for me to ever sub to this game any further.
Why bother? If the devs do not liste, their fault^^ So many cool things to do in life elsewhere.
Cheers!
