The thing is, most people on this thread "naysaying", such as myself, actually agree that a token or gesture of goodwill (minion, road to 60 buff, etc) would be nice, and even reasonable. What we don't like is the excessive entitlement that comes along with a lot of these requests. If you want to argue that a company would be smart to do so, and that us, as players, have been inconvenienced, it's true. But shrieking expletives and demanding a month's playtime because "you are owed it" is untrue. You're legally owed nothing. Anything they decide to give you is a bonus. Just like a store can point at a "no refunds" sign when you bring back a broken item, so can SE point to their ToS.
