I think your looking at this as comparing it to past games, obviously SOE knows they cannot afford to lose population of paying cu$tomers to drop something in the game that would lag a server so bad. I would not expect to see this thing for a year or more until the get this game really optimized and also allow server and gaming rig technology to advance a bit more. They seem to have a long term plan of implementing things as the technology can handle it.
Also it's amazing how well the game plays now out of the gate with 2,000 plus in a massive map with vehicles and such. I will give them the benifit of the doubt that they will be able to pull this off when it's time. Will it be perfect....maybe not....but at least they are trying to push the limits instead of simply wash,rinse,repeat the same content like other cash grabbing developers are doing.
