LOL dude make up your mind - so do patches take forever or a few days?

patches that come out right after games do are not CONTENT patches they are update patches. Content patches being new items,levels,NPCs, and sometimes fix bugs with the game ect ect ect. Update patches mainly fix bugs with games but do NOT bring new content into the game. So as i said content patches TAKE FOR EVER

Not sure I agree - content is more likely to come in the form of DLC, which in BoP (and many) cases is in development before the game even hits the shelves.

Also, your statement is completely untrue in the case of BoP, which had extra content already, but is still waiting on the fix patch. But I'm sure we can both cite examples that prove our case though, so will agree to disagree.

But to get snotty (i.e. "I take it you never played games online before") with a statement that is only vaguely true is a bit over the top and just likely to get people's backs up.

semantics
 

there is a patch coming. stop these needless tit for tat arguments they serve no purpose
