What exactly do you think they are doing when they take the servers down? You think they just like taking them down for 8 hours to annoy you? Because if so, you might want to talk to a therapist.
Who knows what they are doing when they take the servers down? When they take them down for an hour or so for a simple hundred meg client patch it makes some sense. When they take them down for 8+ hours to install a new chapter it makes some sense. But when they take them down for 8+ hours to install a 166MB client patch in the middle of the biggest event of the year how are we supposed to make sense of that?
So your ignorance is showing quite a bit here. Because you think the only maintenance that can be done is through patches and updates to the game itself. When there is an entire infrastructure to care for "behind the scenes" that you and I never see. Sometimes, inconveniently for us players that infrastructure needs larger than normal maintenance and repair so that it can continue to support the constant and continuous running of the game.
This is like complaining about your city tearing up an old and pothole filled road to lay a new one. It completely benefits you in the long run, but because it prevents you from using that road for a few days you cant help yourself but act like its the end of the world.
Um... I don't see people running around screaming "the end is nigh!!!".
If the server has to be taken down it is inconvenient, though certainly understandable. It can be both, believe it or not. If it is taken down for a "relatively" inordinate period of time, It actually can change our plans & is a bit more inconvenient. But when we are told, in real life "I'll be there in 8 hours to pick you up", and then in 8 hours "I'll be there in three hours to pick you up", and finally, "I have no idea when I'll pick you up!"
Well, it's not the end of the world but it is irritating, frustrating and inconvenient. In this world, complaining about things that are irritating, frustrating and inconvenient can sometimes make them better. Just accepting them does not ever help mitigate the issues.
Are you even reading what youre responding to at all?
People arent complaining just because the time for the servers coming back up keeps changing. But because the servers are down. Theyre complaining because they think that somehow maintenance MUST have some meaningful addition to content in the game and there cant possibly be any other reason for the game to be down. That is what you just quoted above. Nothing you just said has any bearing on the conversation you decided to insert yourself in.

I didn't complain about the servers simply being down, much less go ballistic about it. I just pointed out an inconsistency in your defence of ZOS's sometimes inexplicable inconsistency in how long they are down and the impact it has on players.PC NA, PC EU

✭Why ZOS can make the same thing to TES Legends (Another developers)? They shut down game for months to fix a lot of things and change developer, and then magic happened: the game brought back to life!
A humble plea: Stop thinking all about profit. See what you did to Fallout 76, a rushed game behing a top seller game as well every players know how you deal with online games. We know ZOS don't have the same experience as other MMORPG developers, but as long this game give some proft what is no need to put unmeasured greed on it.
We don't ask for a deep restart because this game complexity, but at least we could have some guidelines about whats comming next.
25 year Anniversary - At least show some comprehension about this problem, and at least give us some hope.
If your game ever going shutdown at least let us remember how glorious it was and not a messy amalgam of patches and improvised solutions.Gepe, Dunmer MagSorc Pact Grand Overlord | Gaepe, Bosmer MagSorc Dominion General

You didnt point out any inconsistency. You simply showed how little you know about maintenance days.
