This, or stop making maintence altogether. But this leave the game broken forever.
You post completely misses the point of the issue. No one is saying that maintenance should not be done, or that a subset of the player base won't be hit by it. That is not the issue.

The issue is maintenance every 2-3 days which is preventing a subset of the player base from getting their full value out of the product they pay for.

You are correct in that there really are only two options. Suck it up, or stop paying.

I'll assume most of them will just stop paying, which is ultimately not a good thing for this game. But maybe it is, and SE will have a very simple window for maintenance that effects none of their paying customers at that point.
