I saw nothing like that. I think there were some bugged quests, but no
issues with garrisons and no issues with instances other than the
occasional times there were too many instances to create a new one.

I *might* have had a long queue one day when Battle.net and login
servers came up but the world servers were not. That sound familiar, but
it wasn't anything like 6 hours.
