The queue system allows them to stay in med revs and find ways to shift up so they stay at that load and figure out how they can move the queue faster.

The combinations of payments/blockchain complicate things as well and their blockchain is fairly new and still under development.
There was a fairly long 'scheduled maintenance' recently, which was an update in code on their blockchain. Which broke something on TopShot. That's the problem here, you fix one thing which might break things elsewhere which you're only going to find out until it happens.
Thanks for the thorough explanation. It definitely helps distinguish this and likely inhibits some of the dismissiveness this thread has encountered in the past. Kudos!
