The metaphor breaks down when you get to this major inconvenience. Yes, if I take a week off work to go on vacation I probably can't just easily change the time off to another week. This is pretty different. You probably didn't take a week off work. I took 2 days off work, and as a result, both Friday and today I was able to play all day with no issues (Saturday and Sunday too.. minus the fact that I had to break in the middle of the day sunday and had a 2 hour queue that evening when I came back, but that had nothing to do with taking off work). If you took off work, you should have had no issues at all getting logged in, unless you were unwilling to wake up at a moderately early time... and I'm not talking 5 AM, I'm talking 10 AM. In what way was anyone MAJORLY inconvenienced?
But you're not.

You're explaining this like everyone is getting a free week EXTRA week, but they aren't

Let me try again, and if you don't understand, then you don't understand.

- You pay to get 1 apple a day for Four weeks
- But on the first week they missed giving you an apple
- Now on weeks 2, 3, 4 you receive an apple
- But the vendor said during week 1 "to make up for the apple you missed, I'll give you a free apple after week 4"
- At the end of 5 weeks how many apples do you have? If you followed the math you only have "FOUR" apples, correct?

So you originally paid for Four, you received, four, but you had to wait an extra week to get the apple you missed. So exactly how is this getting anything extra? Extra would be "FIVE" apples (The one you missed + the EXTRA the vendor said you would receive for the inconvenience)

To be honest if you still don't understand either you're doing this on purpose or willfully ignoring basic economics.

Also you're saying you had no issues getting on, but when Dev's make a post about this, then it's a "MAJOR" issue.

I mean the issues with the massive queues, disconnection, and over all inaccessibility of the game is on the launch page for God's sake.

Seriously???

Just because you aren't having an issue doesn't mean the rest of us are as lucky.

Here it's just now 7pm and I've been trying access this game since 4pm EST with queues over 5,000 and I stopped counting my disconnections from the login server after 20.

So I find it hard to believe that you are so fortunate you can log on when ever you like with the lightest of queues since launch.
