I guess nobody here asks the cable or phone company to pony up when their service is down for a day. Also, while everyone is busy ranting about the amount of pennies, I see requests like this as being less about the money, and more about encouraging developers to minimize downtime rather than just taking everyones tolerance for granted. Pennies to the individual add up to amounts worth taking into consideration when a company starts compensating for downtime.
Well, I've honestly never played a game where everyone was given compensation for scheduled maintenance. I also personally don't feel like 24 hours is unreasonable for an expansion as large as Heavensward. Regardless of her intentions with the post, I don't think any of the forum mods or GMs have the power to credit an extra day to her account. If they had any plans for compensating all players, I'm sure they would have announced it somewhere by now.

Regarding the cable/phone company thing -- m3eansean beat me to it.
