I'm not sure what your point is then. You talk about how often the game is offline compared to others and then go on to provide a link to shows that it's really not offline globally that often, at least not intentionally. Most certainly not weekly even though it may sometimes happen on concurrent weeks.

And please view the link I gave the other person.
You mean the misleading WoW link you posted showing a 1-hour maintenance on the 17th? It's only one hour long because it's "activating" content that was added over a several-hour period last week. WoW's average maintenance time is three hours. Their rolling restarts are only about an hour, but that's not the same thing as scheduled maintenance.

And it's also not your place to be condescending about the value other people place on their money...[snip]
Of course people are free to value and spend their money as they see fit, but if they don't want to be judged, they shouldn't come to public forums and make ridiculous threads about wanting 50 cents worth of compensation for scheduled downtime that happens so infrequently, they'd walk away with less than 5 dollars after an entire year even if SE paid out appropriate compensation every single time. I'll also say this to anyone and everyone who spends ~$15 a month on a game, but values 50 cents like it's their last drop of water while they're stranded in the desert: priorities.
