As the unscheduled down-times occur more often nowdays, will CCP compensate the lost time in any form?

Like free SP for skills or training boost or free 5 days of gameplay???

For this one, they probably will.

But the more people that post about it or demand it, the less we deserve it - and remember no one is entitled to it.

Sit back, chill out, and wait to see what happens.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

Unlimited skill queue, kinda changes the dynamic of free SP

That being said, if they offer something as a token, be grateful, say thank you

BUT, no friggin whining before they even get a chance to say anything, you ungrateful $%^$^&

Obviously you weren't here 6 years ago when downtimes were all much longer and unexpected downtimes could be called frequent. You're just an entitled noob. Or a troll and if that's the case, welcome!

I won't say that I feel entitled to anything and I'd be grateful if anything at all was given to players as a form of compensation, but I'd like to say that some of us actually pay RL money for the game time, using in-game bought PLEX only from time to time, or for dual training.

I understand people that feel they should be compensated for not being able to play for 1/2 day, even thought that doesn't exactly applies to me, as I was at work and therefore I wouldn't be playing anyway.

EVE was down for half a day. When a game has a standard subscription that comes to a whopping 50 cents (U.S.) a day, AT BEST CCP 'owes' everyone 25 cents.

Yo CCP, deduct 25 cents from next months sub so these "compensation" people can STFU.

So do you want a cheque for the 25c? Can you afford food?

Or give everyone 17,000,000 ISK. At current exchange that's what 12 hours of Plexed time costs. There, compensation completed.

I thought that CCP makes money by people paying for subs?
