ANOTHER MAINTENANCE TODAY!

[Sinth]

You do realize that more often then not, they've been doing maintenance on a given night. Right?

I believe over the last 30 days the average is every three days. God forbid they allow customers to play a game they pay for. Such a travesty, right?

Even if it were 4 hours every 3 days (which it is not), it would be down 5% of the time (which is a very high downtime percentage), however, the more bugs removed, the fewer and farther between we will see these maintenances become, until eventually there is a once a week routine. Every single scheduled maintenance that has taken place on US servers has been outside of peak hours. So if having the game up 95% of the time (99% uptime during peak hours) is unacceptable to you, then please, feel free to cancel your sub. But the last thing people want to read on these forums are more inconsequential ultimatums.

It is a game. It is not life support.

The cool thing is you don't have to read any inconsequential ultimatums on these forums. That's your choice to continue to.

If you're only answer every time someone has an issue with this game is to quit, you'll be waiting for FFXIV 3.0 after this one becomes a ghost town again.

As long as their issues with the game are irreconcilable, then yes, your options are: 1. Deal with it 2. Quit
If you have a legitimate complaint and a proposed solution, by all means, post away. But complaining that you're going to quit because there is too much downtime for patches / maintenance cannot be helped. You can deal with it or you can leave. But be advised, crying to SE that you are going to quit because of ____ will fall on deaf ears. Your individual circumstance does not negate the experience of the majority, nor will it be catered to, unless your circumstance effects the experience of the majority.Throwing a fit and canceling your sub because of frequent off-peak maitencance in a newly released MMO just speaks for your maturity and experience with MMOs. And if it isn't your maturity that is the issue, then you're better off for learning that MMORPGs take months before the major bugs are ironed out. Perhaps you won't have to relive the horrors of frequent maintenance in your future endeavors.

We all want bugs to be fixed. We all want to play the game. But you can't have your cake and eat it too.
