Malstrades Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 With all the constant unnessesary downtime of the servers, it would be just to grant everyone at least a day free in leu of the massive downtime. Downtime of course was caused by ONCE AGAIN releasing a major update, while everyone on PTS said it wasnt ready, when will BF learn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Methoss Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 hell, there has been patch days for wow where the servers went down for 24hrs, and still no free game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Himeji_Endless Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Compensation for non-regular weekly maintenance is something we shouldn't even have to mention or ask for. We're unable to play so we should be given an extra day or two free ... that would be fair. Then again, we all should be getting much much more considering all the technical problems that we've been dealing w/ on this game ... especially since BW is unable and unwilling to resolve many of them. error 9000 to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Himeji_Endless Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 yep, i know what it is. I can log in and play for anywhere between 1~10mins and then DC ... over and over again during the last 3 days - tons of other threads w/ the same symptoms. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducilia Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 So we had an extra 4 hour maintainance and today an extra 2 hours, making it 6 total, right? Good, so as a compensation, your next payment will be 12 cents cheaper, as that's what it has cost you. happy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeada Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 We got a free month a while back. That more than covers the loss of time due to maintenance this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgelling Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 This is silly - not only would it cost them a lot of money and it's totally unnecessary, people would interpret it as a sign of another move towards free to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As regard as WoW, I remember when I started playing in late TBC I ended up calling it World of Crash... And let's not mention patch days... SWTOR is much, much more stable than what WoW was.

Ipea Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Instead of free game time for it all just let us move toons to any server we want (would be happy if it was to a server you already have 50s on...Consolidate) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey now I was born in the early 90s, and I don't have the special snowflake mentality. But anyway, if BW gave free time because of every unexpected maintenance they wouldn't get anything done with this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But anyway, if BW gave free time because of every unexpected maintenance they wouldn't get anything done with this game. So you slipped through the net of "free good, do good" pop psychology. Congrats. However, a large portion of the american youth did not. The self-esteem movement has likely contributed to this increase in self-adoration. Many parents these days do everything they can to make their children feel good about themselves. The result has been a decline in real self-esteem and an increase in self-love and unjustifiable personal "exceptionalism." While this particular article is meh the figure he cites is pretty solid and used frequently. One study found that 30 percent of young people were classified as narcissistic according to a widely used psychological test. That number has doubled in the last 30 years. Another study reported a 40-percent decline among young people in empathy, a personality attribute inversely related to narcissism, since the 1980s.

InnerPieces Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) We got a free month a while back. That more than covers the loss of time due to maintenance this week. Only those with a level 50 received a free "we appreciate you" month of game time. If it was for compensation of some sort, they should've mentioned that. As it read, and was promoted, it was a "show of appreciation" for those with level 50 characters. I'm not arguing with you. I just expect accuracy. Thanks.

Back in the day (yes, I was actually there) that was all the rage and apparently still is. No, I worked and saved over 3 summers to buy my first POS car at 18. It's always so amusing to me, however, when I see these types of arguments. I just listened to a radio ad for Hyundai with a teenage girl who "is so smart I picked this car" for her parents to buy her. That's what they chose as a marketing gimmick to relate to the "average" consumer. I'm just saying entitlement is nothing new. It simply has more attention thanks to modern media and has now become the norm (like countess other things that are just as important and detrimental to society). If only this game were free to play, then your entitlement arguments would hold water (back on topic, sort of). I don't care if it's $500 or $.05, if I pay for something I expect to get my money's worth. My money's worth is dependent on expectations set by the company promoting the product that has interested me. That's not entitlement. Unless, of course, you feel entitled you will receive the product advertised to you when you hand over the negotiated price. That would change the definition of entitlement substantially, however. (No, I don't think we need free time for a few lost hours... just for the record. Facetious arguments, like this one, help me kill time. I'm going to go do something useful now like flush my eye sockets with Drano.) Edited July 4, 2012 by InnerPieces misspelled Drano. last thing I need is to be crucified for that.
