Yes.


I'm not sure why you're trying so hard to defend SE. I am all willing to be happy and I don't want to start a fight or anything, but as many have kept saying and should keep saying, SE is not your friend, they are a Company providing a Product. The comparisons to "other MMOs" is not an excuse for how SE has handled this issue.
I'm also not downplaying what SE has done so far, we all know and agree that usually SE is very connected to it's playerbase and keeps a high standard, I don't want to devalue that.

I'm glad it's been fixed for you and you can fully enjoy the game now, just bear in mind that this is a Product sold to you. It should be complete as advertised.

If there's nothing to be done about the sub lost, then there is nothing to be done. I won't stop playing or stay mad forever, I just thought I'd voice my discomfort.
When they last said something about it was when they confirmed that it was in fact a problem on their end, we just needed to wait for a patch for it to resolve. They had thought that the first patch had resolved it, but it was like a week later they realized it hadn't. We can't expect them to just keep giving passive updates "We're still working on it"

What I, and many, assumed was that it would come with 6.1 since it was likely to be a major fix, turns out it was more minor than we anticipated so they got it in a smaller patch.

I'm not trying to defend SE at all, I'm trying to point out how childish the massive amount of complaining people are doing is. I will say this, you say SE "isnt your friend" and to an extent you are correct, but SE has always maintained a close relationship with its player base even during all the crap since expansion launch (and especially during the peak of Covid, surprisingly). And yes I know you indicated that, I was just confirming with you on that. The simple fact on the whole is that we signed a contract (terms of service) to be allowed access to the service for a fee, but as with ANY constantly changing service, sometimes things go wonky and they agree to fix it, which was done. But game time compensation is only awarded for times when the service is completely inaccessible, excluding standard maintenance windows.
