not a content creator but i've lost 5 days so far with no definitive end, my raid leads have had to find last minute fills for harder content and i've lost out on hundred of boxes with maybe millions of gold worth of items. i'm fortunate that i got the 2 style pages i wanted from the event so the other 3 don't matter to me but i'm thankful that ZOS have for once done the right thing here. the amount of people jealous over compensation over something that wasn't a player issue is crazy to me. i remember when i was a kid, my sister broke her arm, so on the way back from the hospital my dad got her a ice cream as a little treat, when they came home and my brothers and i found out we got a little jealous. that's what this entire thread looks like. if you didn't get locked out you don't have a say on what ZOS thinks is appropriate compensation.

I think everyone here respects the fact that this is ZOS decision and I don't see anyone trying to take that away or stop people from being compensated necessarily. ZOS has compensated people in the past surely. And that is their business.
However because of how painful this particular grind has been and because of all the time and energy we put into it, it makes us feel like we're being left behind kind of. Its like class warfare, kind of. You have one that's being handed all this stuff and you have the other that worked really hard for that stuff and its not that we want something, its just like we're not on the same level.
Like let's use me for example. Let's raise the stakes ok. So let's say that I lost access to my PTS, which I never use it because its had other problems in the past but anyways, let's say I was locked out of my PTS. And then let's say I was the only one locked out. And then ZOS, "hey Vulkunne you sweet sweet man, here's a gift basket full of freebees" (that I know I didn't earn and that I know folks on here would be quick to talk about). You know that as well as I and don't pretend people wouldn't. Look at how far... some would go out there to get at this compensation... to start with. Even moving people uhh... into perdition just for disagreeing with them
Show of hands, how many would be upset? How many would be like, "well its not fair that we worked for these damn things and this disgusting man gets a free pass because of problems with his account?" "Who him is?" Cause that's exactly what you would say. Exactly and the salt would be real against me for that reason.
And that's why, you cannot tell us, "well you don't get a say...". Ok please don't do that. That's only making it worse and that's not changing hearts or minds on the subject. That's pouring gasoline on an interstate fire.

a radiant mount is too much. wouldn't 3 free months of eso+ or something be fair compensation for being locked out for a week or two along with still getting the other stuff? when the majority of the people receiving compensation would not give up the radiant mount for something else, you know it's the best and probably too much lol.

barring the potential contents of the five Glorious Jubilee boxes (which is a drop in the bucket compared to what could have been earned in-game during the time locked out--and stings a little more with each passing day) all compensatory rewards are account-bound and non-transferable, and do not confer any functional in-game advantage to the people to whom they are being distributed.
the pushback here is exclusively, without exception, about hurt feelings.
I've also seen more than one person in this thread suggest that those hurt feelings should carry more weight than the direct in-game material loss being suffered by those banned based on... how much money they've spent on subs and MTX.
"I pay good money to get treated better than you" is a real heck of a take to type out and post without immediately deleting your account afterward out of embarrassment. it also completely disregards any money spent by the people invested enough in this game to drop everything and download+jump into the PTS within the first 40(?) minutes it went up.
just... some interesting feelings being shared, here. sociologically speaking.
also, worth reiterating that I personally did almost nothing but farm for the style pages right up until the day the PTS went live and I only had the helmet to show for it. I did, in fact, put in the work. a frankly unjustifiable amount of time, if I'm being honest. and based on some of the numbers people are reporting here, I put more into the grind in the days I got to play than some of the people griping here have for this whole event. like, 4 hours? really?? I flushed more than that down the toilet day one.
should I have? different discussion.
but we aren't "getting them without having to work for them" any more than the people ZOS decided to "give" the pages to on their first drop through sheer luck. if I didn't "deserve" the staff after my 150th Vvardenfell boss, neither did the guy who got it in one. go be angry in the drop rates thread. you'd be right to! I can't even play the game until next week, and I still had plenty of event stuff I wanted to do.

1. 16k endeavours is EXTREMLY generous on top of all the event loot. If you already got 40k, you might wanna think about
spending it on something. Its not just flashy mounts, but also furniture, motifs and and pets etc. Any if you hate everything, just use it as a savings book for upcoming stuff. But please never ask for more again on top of that. Thats just very greedy and provocates the other users.
2. Dont envy the people that got the endeavours, it wont hurt you or the economy. Maybe Eso will from now on be more generous with bans like these, so just be patient.
3. If your life is in pain, just because a video game is closed for you for one week, its maybe time to overthink your life. This should not have such an affect on anymore, no matter how much you like the game and got used to playing it daily.
4. Try to calm down with your event rage and blames and prepare for the next (nice looking) new dlc.

SIXTEEN THOUSAND SEALS?
Why couldn't I have been locked out?!
No, it's not too "strong". What a horribly jealous take.

How do you compensate the loss of trust?
Their statement:
I agree with the rest, with the exception of 16k thousand Seals of Endeavor, don't you think that 16k is a lot? considering that the players have only been in the bathhouse for a few days and how long does it take to collect such an amount? Why not change this number to 8k? What do you think about this?
