I agree that spamming the servers is a bad idea. However this method won't work any faster than Turbines own laucher could do it manually, so it's not really spamming.
However I also believe that two weeks is far more than enough time to isolate a problem thats as widespread as this login problem is.
When I was designing, building and installing Servers and networks. I didn't get to go home until a problem was fixed (if it was this major).
If I'd not fixed it within 24 hours we'd replace the whole system.
