Balthazod Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 We have lost a day do the technical screw up on BW shift. This missing day is something we had already paid for so for you to compensate us we should receive something greater then what we have already lost and something that reflects the degree of inconvenience and turmoil the downtime caused. A free days play is not compensation but just a reimbursement of payment for a service that we never received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuraBob_Fl Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 That doesn't make any sense. We lost like 8 hours or so and got 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoraStrife Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I dont think OP understands how consumer relations or math works. The free day is actually a really awesome deal. Take it and run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oofpez Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Compensation (n): something given or received as an equivalent for services, debt, loss, injury, suffering, lack, etc. synonyms: recompense, payment, amends, reparation; requital, satisfaction, indemnification. what Bioware gave us sounds like compensation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pengatron Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 A free days play is not compensation but just a reimbursement of payment for a service that we never received. You paid for 30 days, you got 30 days. It's just that those 30 days were not consecutive. There was a one day gap in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpooled Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 seriously....im usually in agreement with some of the complaints on here but this just is plain stupidity... they didnt have to give us anything, if you ever played FFXI, you would be bald and suffering with stress after every one of thier major updates if you wanted some kind of compensation for thier downtimes to fix the patch to fix the patch that fixed the patch of the patch that repaired the previous patches patch be grateful and stop whining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanzBlix Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I can't believe they're giving me a free month just for playing their game that I enjoy and don't mind paying for if you want to know the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUS theres the EA factor here! you think the tyrants at EA would have wanted Bioware to give out free time!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamond_Vex Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Oh I completely disagree with the OP. I actually logged into the forums to express my gratitude for the compensation that they gave us. I played WoW since the beginning and if they've ever done this, I don't remember it. I think it's awesome and I'm grateful for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balthazod Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Because my dim witted responders it was more then 8 hours the scheduled patch was 8 hours then it was followed by an unscheduled downtime for 8 hours that is 16 hours which leaves 8 spare hours, which the average human uses to sleep making a 24 hours. 24 hours in a day 1 free day = 24 24 hours compensation for 24 hours lost = reimbursement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, are you slow ? I'm really currious, I think what you meant to say is we lost 8 and gained 16 if anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadulator Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 lol OP /sigh This is the first time in my 14 years of playing MMO's (b4 you were born?) I've seen any company give any sort of compensation like this. Additionally, I've never seen a company grant a free month of play time other than to new subscribers or as rewards for contests/signing up new players. Granted, speaks volumes for the "state of the game" so to say, but it's unprecidented none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raximillian Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 (edited) ... What? Hum... It's in the terms of service that they do not have to give anything for downtime, yet they did.
