Yes, thank you, I know, I understand their logic behind offering a limited number. None of that addresses my points however, which is that selling a limited amount of seed accounts at certain times over a 24 hour period is likely to hit their servers extremely hard (seriously, woot knows EXACTLY when they're going to have hundreds of thousands of people hitting their servers all at once, and they still usually can't keep the servers up when a bag o crap gets posted!), and deny perm accounts to people who would like them, which is NOT good for keeping users happy. So they'll be getting an influx of cash and losing some customer satisfaction.
Plenty of people are just going to camp the 4 release times, regardless of time zone (I'm certainly planning to), and actually getting an account will be luck of the server, which will make a lot of people really upset when they can't even access the site to try to buy, or the server coughs rights as they click purchase and the accounts are sold out by the time the server lets them back in. And since this is likely the last time seed accounts are ever available, people who try to get one and can't are likely to be pretty upset (Human nature-the less available something is, the more highly it is valued.) And a bunch of upset users isn't good for the site.
