Giving up on early release.

[SieyaM]

Just bored at the moment waiting on someone to be ready to leave. If the image in your head is 'white knight' or 'bootlicker,' sorry that I have a view of reality that isn't twisted by self entitlement?

It's an expansion launch. Every MMO has them. Every MMO has server issues during them. Complaining does nothing but further make the devs hate the players. It happened in WoW and will happen here too.

Right, why expect things you pay for to work properly and be available to you, just accept that you pay for the chance to play not to actually use the software.

You didn't pay for early access. You paid for the expansion and got early access as a bonus.

Oh, so is there a way I can log in and not to EW stuff and do other things that bypasses the queue and other errors? No, people can't log in to do anything at all.

The cost of early access was $0. You claimed you paid for early access, which you did not.

No I am claiming to pay a sub for a game that I should be able to play when the servers are online, where did I mention specifically early access to EW?

Square Enix is giving you 7 days of sub for free, so this completely invalidates your attempt to deflect and blame it on your sub time.

You're getting a week compensation back, therefore not losing anything. If it gets past a week, then your argument is valid. As of right now, your sub is on Square.

And that is true, if the servers are still a problem beyond a week then it is time lost again, but since the population isn't going to vanish in a week I think this will be an ongoing problem for a while, and probably during each major patch release as well.

Technically, they paid for game time to be able to actually play the game, which has been compromised. As a result, the frustration, which is a perfectly valid response.
The consolation is that Squeen is providing game time as compensation for the inability of players to play, which is nice of them, but it also shows that these weird white-knighty defense posts aren't necessary because not even Squeen is convinced that this state of affairs is ok.

Just let these people complain and get it out of their system. It's valid, and Squeen should be allowed to see the unrest.

If not frothing at the mouth because of an MMO launch makes me a white-knighty then by sword and shield I will glisten like holy radiance. I'm stuck in the same queue as everyone else. They're allowed to complain on a public forum and I'm allowed to respond.
