Maintenance Schedules, please change them..

[RowanLauron]

You know...if you break down your subscription, those 4 hours total out to like 8 cents?

$14.95 for 30 days = ~50 cents/day = ~2 cents/hr.

So you are complaining about losing 8 cents of playtime in the long run. So before you complain SE is stealing your money by having maintenance, REALLY think about how much of your money you spend when you are able to play the game uninterrupted. In reality, they should charge more. This is cheap ass entertainment. A whole months worth of access to a video game 24/7 with the occasional maintenance vs a 90-150 minute movie that can cost you $7 just to get in the door. Not including any additional tickets or refreshments.

You don't understand, I'm not losing "4 hours a day" I'm losing an entire day because I get home and the servers are down... 6pm to 10pm (11 sometimes)

But whatever... deal with it right?

You're not understanding my point. You weren't going to play any other time anyway right? Due to a job, homework, family, etc. I have about 5-6 hours a night of time between getting home from work and when I need to go to sleep to wake up the next day. In that time, I may have family obligations or stuff that needs to be dealt with before I start my game time. And I can't play any other time because of work, etc...so what's really changed? Nothing.

No matter how you look at it, it's not like you can miraculously shift those 4 hours to a different part of your day that you weren't able to play to begin with. So your playtime stays the same maintenance or not. And out of that ENTIRE month. You complain about 4 hour which accumulates to about 8 cents of your money. I guarantee you, you play enough during the entire month to make those 4 hours of maintenance unworthy of even being noted.

But I digress. Not everyone holds their playtime in the same regard as the other. I find my average of 2-3 hours a night worth it, even with the maintenance in between. You apparently do not, and there is nothing wrong with that. I just don't agree with your view on the matter.
