Anyone who can't bear to take an evening off from playing once per week or so, should probably consider seeing a therapist. There are days I don't play when the servers are up and running.

And as far as the value of the subscription fee? It was never guaranteed to be for 100% uptime. SE knows that people don't play 24/7. A lot of people will only play a few hours on weekdays. They factor this into their fee as well as planned and unplanned server downtime. I suspect that if they did guarantee 100% uptime, the fee would be a lot more. Perhaps they should charge an hourly fee, or have a meter run while you are logged on, and bill at the end of the month.
