I am profoundly sorry that he has neither reliable friends or a sense of perspective.

Perhaps it would be fitting for CCP to grant him a million SP in recognition of his excessive dedication to winging and at the same time close his account for breaching the EULA.

Pity? Nah. Not really. Not my cup of tea.  
Sorry.

People WILL log in when they feel it’s important enough.

The “event” was not important enough. Even I had something better to do. I had to fix a front porch. And then clip my big yellow toenails.

Luckily your opinion is irrelevant. It does not _need_ to do whatever you think it does and DOWNTIME is perfectly fine, easily rememberable and absolutely logical too.

You get nothing.

Bye bye. 🙂

Lol. Pleads for leniency while admitting a serious breach of the EULA.

This isn’t a great thing to admit. Better off making up a different story to avoid being banned.

Does add an air of truth to the overall story though.

They don’t ban anyone unless there’s conflict between the players sharing accounts like for example one guy stealing everything off his friend’s account.  
It’s one of those grey areas as far as they’re concerned

Because you would have events ending in the middle of the night game Dev time. Are you going to start paying extra on sub/Plex to cover some devs to stay an additional 6+ hours to ensure the event ends smoothly?

I don’t know, seemed like everything went pretty well, I got plenty of free things, didn’t log everyday, I didn’t feel any deception.

If CCP will accept OP suggestion, it will be unfair for us, players, who cared to log in according the rules of the game to get reward. You change the rules after match - you are cheater.  
00:00 for you can be 06:00 for me ad EVE downtime interval is choosen according to users numbers. So downtime will affect least of game population.

Every single event EVER in EvE used the dt clock. Deal with your own ■■■■-up instead of whining here.
