WB/Turbine knows a great deal about how to lose players - SW/GW2/D3 all coming in the near future. It's huge mistakes like this that will cause ppl to move on.
I think it's much more likely that players will complain on this thread up until the point they patch and login, and then they'll never give the 13 hours of downtime a second thought. Seriously, you guys should go do some chores or something. It's not the end of the world if you can't log into lotro for half a day. An expansion was released. Downtime is to be expected.
