Early Access members deserve 2 feee days due to server issues

I'm in favor of free time compensation, as I am quite literally at the point where I cannot advance the MSQ because of the Raubann related issues. I have already done all the quests in the new area. I was lucky enough to get SAM past the initial two quests, but I cannot progress RDM outside of leveling it because I get 90k errors if I try to do the first RDM solo instance.

This early access feels more more like I've had a demo of SB than an actual early access - and it's completely negating the point of early access which is to get us far enough into the story that I'm ahead of everyone else when the expansion officially goes live on Monday.

A week's worth of free time is warranted for the technical issues because it's a roadblock to so many people attempting to progress through the MSQ - especially if you're on a server like Cactuar or Balmung.

We deserve a whole month as it effectivally killed the early acess.

We actually do deserve compensation, not just with the Raubahn and Pipin issues, but the current fact that all instanced duties are broken. People, whether in ARR/HS/SB EA are DCing from dungeons and instances and have have to wait for the timer to run out until they can log back in. There is also the new SB primal fights that are locking people out indefinitely!

This has gone past bad MSQ design flaws now...

Of course, but will you say the same things as today or something different since it will no longer be early access?

<06/20/2017>"It's still launch day"
<06/23/2017>"It's still launch week"

I guess I just don't get why people need to defend a decades old, multi-billion dollar company when they fail to properly prepare for a day they've known about for months or longer. I can see sticking up for some indy dev working out of his garage when his game glitches out. I can't see cutting SE, Konami, Capcom, Nintendo, EA, MS, Sony, etc any slack when they screw the proverbial pooch.

I would be concerned at the length of time that it has taken to fix the congestion, but it would entirely depend on developer communication, and any developments that happen between now and then, so talking about it now is pointless, defeatist, and really bad for community morale.

I disagree. I think it's healthy for the market when the consumer communicates his frustrations with the producer. Either the producer heeds the consumer and works to please him, thus creating a better product for the marketplace, or he doesn't and eventually makes way for someone else to create that better product. That's my theory anyway.

If you guys weren't expecting problems, you're delusional. Highly delusional.

There is communicating frustration, and the toxic manner in which the community has conducted itself, right up to the entitled nature of expecting compensation (which we may get, but we aren't entitled to).
