EVE General Discussion

I cried when the EvE server went down. There was obviously no course of action other than to come to the forums and start 6 threads complaining that my life was forlorn and that I had skills on training which would run out while the server was down.

I obviously need free stuff straight away to alleviate my pain. Please CCP, supply me some fireworks!

Whats with all these threads all of a sudden?

Reverse Psychology, they actually WANT compensation but are saying the oposit.

*tin foil hat off*

Although I hate all the duplicate threads about Free stuff Yes/No?

I do agree with the OP.

The launcher failure was CCP's fault, so good thing they reimbursed people.
The DDoS attack was NOT CCP's fault, so I think they shouldn't compensate people.

As in another thread about not giving compensation stated:

You don't hear the whiners about giving stuff back to CCP because their downtime usually last way longer then predicted.

Ah, this old argument. The bottom line is that it’s not about having a life, or that you can do other stuff, it’s about the fact that we pay for a service.

My take on it is this. I pay a monthly subscription, for my money I expect the servers to be up outside of scheduled downtime, I expect to have the option to play the game regardless of other stuff I could do. I’m also a realist with a technical background and understand that this is an unrealistic expectation.

Therefor the crux of the matter becomes how CCP deal with unexpected downtimes, after all, keeping their customers happy is part of what a good company should do. Personally I don’t see an issue with handing out some free skill points and I don’t understand why some people are so upset by the concept. A lot of customers were irritated as they could not access a service they were paying for, CCP acknowledge this and offer some free SPs as compensation.

Free stuff that doesn't cost CCP anything and in return gives them satisfied customers. They can't afford NOT to give compensation.

Expectation of high quality service != crybaby.

Tiny cost or happy customers, tiny cost or happy customers.....

Dealing with angry customers isnt free either.

i don't really see why people are that unhappy, you couldn't play for a few hours on the weekend. if that sort of thing upsets you that much i think you need to take a long hard look at your life.

Why does everyone feel they have the right to demand CCP to one course of action or another.

I mean does it really effect your life if people get free stuff?

Or do you feel that you have such authority that your demands should be met.

I don't really care one way or the other but I just can't believe how rude and up their own hole people are on these forums.

Don't compensate? Don't give in? GIVE IN?? really?

At the very least you should get one day of time added to your account, considering you paid for the time.

Any thing else is a bonus that is up to CCP if they are so inclined

I like using one line at a time it makes it seem like you have more to say,

Even if it is just drivel
