I wouldn't say F, but perhaps C? Hopefully today's patch fixes everything. I'm sick of being stuck in combat!

Wow... and I was going to give them an A- or B+. I've seen very few MAJOR bugs. There is lots of little graphical issues. My hunter constantly has her weapons floating out beside her when she's running and Wilim is often stuck in the T pose (I've found the simple act of jumping gets rid of most of them... not the weapons floating one, but the T pose and the "stuck in running animation" bug).
There is the server memory/resource issue that's causing the daily restarts. But it's better than the random 5 minute restores that were happening. Still remember when it happened to Wilim.. OOOOO! Two Minstrel Legendary Items in a row! .. oh wait... I'm stuck... what's happening? (log out... log back in... This wasn't where I was... where's my items?! I completed that quest! arggghg!)
I suppose as a programmer, I'm quicker to forgive little issues than most folks. I know how bugs creep in and how you can never test everything.

My "C" was not for content, but for execution. I'm LOVING the content!

My biggest gripe? Too much XP rewards for quests and deeds! My goodness! between 4 and 6 thousand xp for killing 12 crows?! Really?!
And then 10,000 xp for completing a kill deed?! I literally got a complete level off of doing the Eregion deeds. I killed a single half-orc the other day and was awarded over 20,000 xp! a hundred of so for the half-orc, 10,000 for completing the half-orc deed and then another 10,000 for completing the "Secret" Protector of Hollin deed (for completing the 11 eregion deeds).
I completed 6 or 7 quests in Moria last night, and suddenly I go from a freshly turned 56 to over half way to 57!

I'd give the content a good rating, I'm having plenty of fun!
The F was for rebooting the server Thanksgiving and Saturday morning. It doesn't take much to realize that's prime playing time for anybody with "Weekday daytime" jobs. I work nights and weekends also sometimes, but still those 2 mornings were times I had to slack off and take a break. For lots of reasons I try to never let myself log in before 4:00 PM on weekdays so that does restrict me to weekend warrior hours with everyone else... There were a lot of people online Thanksgiving morning.
It's been better since so I'll forgive. Thanks for letting me vent everyone!

PS. Mods, I think this thread should be cast into the "Drama" section rather than here.....

Nah! No drama here! Looking at it from that end, it was highly annoying. There were a few instances we had to cut short or delay because of it.
