Yeah, it's really frustrating. Considering that a lot of gamers have even been tweeting them "begging" for updates but they would rather post about other games, or Vini Jr POTM. Nothing about the issues we're facing. And the "bug" part doesn't make sense at all it's like they train their agents to give us generic responses.
The game and servers are independent of each other or rather should be independent of each other. The update can't/shouldn't affect the server. And why would it affect only one region? Also they wouldn't update one server but all of them at once as to make sure everyone gets the same experience regardless of the country.
