Feel free to tell me I am wrong.
But, I play since more than a year. And every single time there is an event, be it an update or some organized thing, servers crash.
Every single time.
I propose a "negative reviews rain" on Steam. Everyone should post a negative review focused on the server issues.
It worked the few times I partecipated in something like this in other games. Because money is they only thing Software Houses care about.
