Maint. Times. Seriously

Yes, I know there are other threads about this exact topic, however, this is something that seriously needs to be resolved. To anyone that disagrees, you saw what the thread was about before you clicked.

This is a monthly payment service just like any other (phone,water, internet, TV, gas/electric). Its awesome that routine maintenance is being provided for servers, but since they are happening all too frequently I don't see the logic in starting them on a PRIME evening time frame unless it is because the ones who run maintenance themselves do not want to be up late -_-, in which case, that is just bad business. So for someone like myself who doesn't get off work until this time, I'm coming home and finding that i only have an hour to play. If this wasn't a P2P game there would be no issue at all, however, I am paying monthly for a service that I should be able to use whenever I feel like and am able to yet I am NOT.

Where is the compensation for this??????????

This indeed needs to be fixed immediately.

I have ZERO PROBLEM with maintenance, I think it is a great thing for the game to run efficiently, but, I have an enormous problem with the poor choice of timing for the servers down.

Look, I get that you are catering to The Japanese servers and we Americans are getting screwed over, but is it THAT had to just do maintenance on the 2 servers separately so that we don't have to reschedule raids, events, or just plain play time for ridiculous updates? Honestly this is an enormous downfall to the game and it is pissing people off left and right.

Also, how hard would it be to implement a countdown timer until servers go down (like 30 seconds as countless other games have) so that we don't get SCREWED in the middle of a fight/ craft.
