If you are not - say you can only play after work, and you try over and over again to queue to the game but aways get the 2002 error midway, so it is not a matter of waiting in line. You actually cannot play at all - that is another story.

You payed to play for 30 days. In nowhere it is said you can only use these days out of peak time. But during 7 of these 30 days, SE did not provide the service you paid for. So you paid for 30 days of service and got 23. SE doesn't have to give your money back, because it is smart and put that in the EULA. But it doesn't want you to stop paying for it every month. So it will gice you 7 extra days. You paid for 30 days and will get 30 days with a 7 days iatus. The first group got 7 free days though
Ok, see "THIS" is 100% true and more makes sense.

But the only thing I can say to the above is "FFXIV 1.0".

I played that and I cancelled my subscription after a couple months. A lot of us did, and no matter what the EULA said, it was a sad game and very irritating.

This expansion is walking the same line and it all comes down to investors and financials. Those guys don't like negative press that might effect stock prices.

You may not agree with me, but if FFXIV 1.0 wasn't so bad why did they have to scrap it and relaunch it? There's a documentary on Youtube about how bad it really was behind the scenes, and it feels a lot like now.

No one should have to wait 4-5 hours to see if they are even going to get to play a game they paid for before they have to go to bed for the night
