Getting kicked out of the game for no reason
Step one: Cry in a corner.

Step two: Realize there is no way that you are going to fix this, because the problem is ubisoft using horrible servers for this game, and even though they are still actively updating and selling it, they are more interested in selling stupidly overpriced classes in a $60 game rather than make the game more playable.
Trolls who teamkill
Very similar to the previous one, once again, even though there are measures that can be taken, once again, ubisoft would rather sell classes and turn a $60 game into a pay-to-win rather than make the game more playable and enjoyable for everyone.

However, this one I can actually give good advice on, because of the very rudimentary ban/kick method that ubisoft employs, trolls usually use randomly generated names, such as Guest_Q2SD3FS4SDSG5 or something like that. The reason they do that is because it can often mess up ubisoft because its a different name, or people are unable to remember it. Don't kill these people on sight, but don't let them get behind you, and keep an eye on them.
Really slow waiting times and taking years just to join a lobby
Nothing you can do about it. Some people can point out the fact that if not many people are playing, the waiting times can be long. Except for that if you read the loading messages, "Searching for game/players" usually means that it is looking FOR a match. "Joining match/lobby/game" means that it has found a game (meaning that it just has to connect them) but ubisoft (or as some people call them, boobisoft) are unable to get servers for this game that are anywhere near the quality of other games.
Getting stuck in the "loading game" or "waiting" menu
This one is especially appalling on ubisoft's part. This glitch has been around pretty much since the game came out, over a year ago. AND THEY STILL HAVEN'T FIXED IT. It can't even be blamed on their servers, or anything like that. It is literally they would rather release updates that add more classes that cost what you get after playing the game for a week straight, or paying money for. At least they are releasing updates for free, unlike some other games(COUGH COUGH LOOKING AT YOU PARADOX) who release updates and fixes IN DLC.
Game shutting down for no reason
Once again, ubisoft's servers. I mean seriously the game could probably run better if it was entirely locally hosted, cuz right now the servers are just annoying.
Summary
Rainbow 6:Siege is an awesome game. Don't get me wrong. Even though a few classes could use a little balancing, the really close quarters, heart pounding, butt clenching fun that is this game is amazing. However, the servers are just terrible, which I would understand if it was a "stagnant" game, or a game that wasn't being updated. What I see here, however, is just trying to sell unbelievably overpriced extra classes, and leaving the players to have to experience the same horror over and over again every time they try to get a new match. I really don't think it is the designers or the programmer's faults, its just the people who are directing resources. They decided that rather than making a better game, turning a $60 game into a near pay-to-win was better.

Also, as to the warband thing, it is an awesome game, that is how. I think now I got it to 1500 hours or something.

I gotta admit, they started changing the game, it is now a lot less p2w, but still, wish some of the new content they release wasn't like 20000 credits or something XD

update i bought year 2 cuz i already got all the operators i want from year 1 which are some 3 and i only bought it for my perma 5% boost in renown and some skins and attachments which dont affect gameplay
P.S.
for the p2w excuse
i was gold 4 (year 1 ranks) without any year 1 operator

Its not P2W because as Geth said you can have all free but you have to do some hardcore grinding and thats really annoying and useless (Pay if you want to get insta thats why its there) if kids keep buying operators with real money then the grinding will always be there
Sorry for any grammar mistakes

I've had this game for 4 days and have the same hours as you and even if you learn fast, you can't know too much about the game, or say it's p2w (which it def isn't) so don't make posts complaining until you get more experience.

P2W stuff is kinda bs though. The game is not P2W at all, everybody can have all the operators without any money to put into the game, the skins have price, but they are skins and they do nothing with the base game.

you only played 50 hours i think you need a little more experience, btw no ots not p2w i have all operators +4 new operators just by playing and not buying anything and i think it all relies on your skill becuase admit it pro can kill an average player with a pistol or something less powerfull
