I'm in favor of free time compensation, as I am quite literally at the point where I cannot advance the MSQ because of the Raubann related issues. I have already done all the quests in the new area. I was lucky enough to get SAM past the initial two quests, but I cannot progress RDM outside of leveling it because I get 90k errors if I try to do the first RDM solo instance.

This early access feels more more like I've had a demo of SB than an actual early access - and it's completely negating the point of early access which is to get us far enough into the story that I'm ahead of everyone else when the expansion officially goes live on Monday.

A week's worth of free time is warranted for the technical issues because it's a roadblock to so many people attempting to progress through the MSQ - especially if you're on a server like Cactuar or Balmung.
