Can't Login - Compensation

[Synol]

So, technically you haven't lost any time then. You sitting at the computer mashing the "0" key to try and get in--knowing that they're having these issues is your choice.
If you want to demand something more than what you've been given and SE replies with a picture of Yoshi giving you the middle finger and flat out telling you "No, not gonna happen, quit whining," I believe you can complain at that point.

See this guy lets nothing get in the way of his stupidity. You paid for 30 days of service. If you don't get 30 days of service you didn't get what you paid for.

You paid for the game. Not 30 days of service. The 30 days was given to you. If you look on your account page, it says "30 days trial period."

This is a gift to you. You lost a week so far(barring early access, which was also a bonus for pre-ordering. I've seen so many people saying they paid for early access, it drives me crazy) and they're giving you another week of free trial period. Do you not understand what that means? That still means you're not paying for any game time until that trial period is over! Huzzah! -- Wait, do people still not understand that?

You are incorrect. The 30 days of service is not 'given' to me if I receive it only for purchasing a game. In addition, since the game CANNOT BE USED AT ALL without the 'service,' how could the service NOT be included? Are you claiming I paid for a FFXIV paperweight? Preposterous philosophy guy. Go somewhere with tired line of total BS.

I don't really know where to begin with this one. My other post should point out the fallacies in your statement.

The summarize though, it's not a gift. It is part of the initial product and is only offered for marketing purposes. It is a promise made to the consumer upon purchase of the game that said consumer will be given 30 days of access to the game, prior to the requirement of additional payments for continued use. The ToS that accompanies this game does allow for the game to be inaccessible for certain periods of time; however, this clause will only support a few hours or a couple of days. No court in the US will side with the company if the products cannot be accessed for over a week. This time frame includes early access, as this was also part of the promise made to the consumer upon pre-order of the product.

By giving players an extra 7 days, SE is making efforts to avoid legal action. It is not accepting responsibility for the problems that have occurred this past week.
