But you don’t have an issue with paying 50$ for nothing the first time. You just don’t want to repeat it?

So… a T3 then? Oh. Ok.

Doesn’t change how wrong you are though. In a “purely logical and calculated” way ofc. You know, factually as it were.

Yes. Bc grown-up.

My time is worth more than 50 units of your weird money from Muricaland (seriously, that stuff is funny and it feels like weird cloth-paper-thing. I probably got some sort of contact-high from holding it too. Maybe). The amount of time you have spent moaning in this forum - taking the time spent only on this one subject - suggests to me you just want fr33 st00fz and have no real idea about, nor consideration of, anything other than what you can try to squeeze out of this for free.

Seriously man, if it has upset you so much just leave. Walk away from it, put it down to experience or “one of those things” or whatever and just… idk… get on with something else? Play something else? Honestly, if it is making you this angry and you feel you have been in some way “cheated out of your rightful due” or whatever surely just walking away from this is the best thing for you? Continuing to play something you feel has “robbed you” in some way must surely only leave it all feeling unpleasant and therefore taking the joy/fun out of this game for you?

I know I am wrong. Fact is I might have went a week at most, unable to play at all. Right now am waiting my paycheck to buy a new video card to play eve again and have been offline the last 5-6 days anyway but re-subbed anyway to keep training skills and have been compensated with decent extra omega time after submitting a ticket and being alltogheter nice with my request. Playing devils advocate is fun thought.

It wasn’t though. Just for a “few”. I have had no connection issues whatsoever … at all.

Tranquility numbers are low, that’s why CCP delayed the compensations to hook up pilots that unsubbed in meantime. We will see how it goes. We will see.

Yeah seeing that they keep it on untill 9th march, while ddos is no longer present. They want people to resub to get the 350k instead of the 100k alpha amount. So they are even using the DDoS attacks to get people to stay omega lol.

Yeah, 10 days into not being able to log into the game, my sub renew came up. I didn’t renew. Why would I? It had been a week and a half of their DDoS protection was actively blocking me from getting what I paid for, not the DDoS. I bet I do just get 100k that I can’t apply to my character because I am well and far beyond the max SP for an Alpha. Thankfully, I didn’t lose any ships or space. 100k SP in exchange for a Keeepstar would royally suck.

Route trace stopped cold at their DDoS mitigation provider. Entirely their responsibility. But whatever.

Some things I will never understand. How is it fun to buy progress in a game? Also that would have got you ~10 AAA games on their release date. Or ~4 years of Omega (which is about 80mil SP)

Congratulations! But the rest of us couldn’t play the game for two weeks, constant drops/ can’t log in the first place. Maybe if you have a lot of play time during the time period you don’t get Omega time. But I looked at the launcher at one point and saw it down to less then 1k people online. Omega time seem like the only appropriate compensation. Considering if your simple ticket gets too long to be answered they give you 30 days…
