Please No!!! D2 Rolling Midnight Launch on 9/6!!!

Our friends at Bungie previously mentioned that there will be a rolling midnight release for D2 on September 6th. I know, this isn't breaking news....just in case...see source below. Source: https://youtu.be/VauYb17y9Zw Start around 1:30 Rolling midnight release explained: https://youtu.be/09rQ3LTW6cA What does this mean? D2 will be playable at midnight based on your timezone. Sooo, when I log in at midnight eastern U.S. time on the 6th to play my PSN downloaded version, guardians from Australia will have already been playing for 12 hours because it will be midnight in Australia 12 hours before it will be midnight in the eastern U.S. Similarly, a guardian in the U.K will have been playing 5 hours before due to the same time zone logic....etc, etc. Apparently, this same thing happened for D1, although I cannot confirm this, as I was not a Day 1 player. A ROLLING MIDNIGHT RELEASE IS UNACCEPTABLE! I know, I know! They are doing this in part because of what happened to the servers at the ROI release. We all remember the server chaos that ensued there. I understand the logic of gradually introducing players to the server in order to make it less likely to crash. I get it. I do. EVEN SO.... I'd rather the servers implode under the stress of ONE MILLION people trying to access them all at once then accept that even ONE person was able to access D2 even ONE SECOND before I can!!!! BUNGIE, PLEASSSSE DON'T DO THIS!!
