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.

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.

You didnt point out any inconsistency. You simply showed how little you know about maintenance days. Id say crying about how the patch was so small but the maintenance window was so big is pretty much going ballistic.
