I actually have a guildmate who scheduled his time off from work for this today so losing out on the cake for so long today is really unfair. 
But losing out in general when you supposedly gave us two extra days to make up for the gaffe that kicked off the cake madness is just uncool overall. Please do the right thing and extend the cake. Heck, make us all love you and give us another week! Altoholics like me could use it! LOL
UPDATE: And @ZOS_GinaBruno announces ZOS's refusal of this reasonable request.

✭✭✭✭✭ZOS, please give me another 50 hours of cake buff. It's totally unfair that I have a job and wasn't able to grind all my waking hours all week. In fact, I demand another 56 hours for the time I spent asleep. Oh, and another 26 hours for this Monday and Tuesday.
After all, if I don't make full use out of this freebie you gave me to show your appreciation to me, then I'm being ripped off.
PS, Thank you ZOS for the cake. It was lovely!Edited by MasterSpatula on April 12, 2016 6:08PM"A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle20 -

That would actually be pretty cool. And certainly fair enough. I kinda hope they will occasionally reactivate the cake for special events going forward. You know...if they ever do any.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!0 -

You're basically comparing apples and oranges. If they said it would be available until 8pm Tuesday, and you cant play Tuesday due to the server being down, why is it that you feel people are wrong in asking for an extension due to server maintenance? People are only asking them to honor what they said they would do.
Just because something is "free", does that make their word mean less? If I tell you I'm going to give you a free ticket to my theme park.... you take the day off work and show up with your family, only to find the gates locked because I changed my mind. Be honest. Wouldn't you feel a little bit cheated? That would show that my word means nothing. Sadly, in this day and age, I guess a lot of people are ok with that, and come to expect it as normal.12 -

Sometime yesterday evening I made a new character I based on Rob Zombie.aThe face markings worked perfectly too.He made it to level 16 before I went to sleep.Admitted,I should have done him earlier in the day,and I might have gotten him waaay up there.0 -

✭Nope, no extra days! That would be counterproductive; instead of making people buy more XP scrolls to stack them with cakebuff, it would make them stop buying them completely, because they would have enough time. The threat you have to pay right now or else you miss an opportunity has to be real!0 -
Count me in, the devs didn't even get my cake working until Friday the 8th!!!!!!

It would stop them from buying the scrolls no days,because if you add the cake with the scrolls,it really works well.And,yes you can use both.I did all day and evening yesterday.Edited by Volkodav on April 12, 2016 7:25PM0 -

And you thing MY analogy is apples and oranges?
A better analogy would have been if there was a theme park that had inspections on Tuesday mornings that offered free funnel cakes for a week, and people freaked out that they didn't decide to open on Tuesday mornings for that one week.
Enjoy your funnel cake when the wheel comes off the roller coaster , ya freeloader!
OK, that analogy sort of broke down somewhere.
Seriously, though. The cake is a freebie. A kindness. A gift. Almost like they gave us a horse, and totally for free. A gift that was a horse. A gift horse, if you will.

In all fairness, taking off work to play a video game is the first issue. Second, the cake has been around for 7 days, and was originally supposed to go out Sunday, so I am having a hard time feeling sorry for anyone at this point.Thasi - V16 Magblade Vampire PC/NA6 -

I never understood why taking off work to play video games is bad. People take off work to go to sporting events or social gatherings, why are video games any different? Can't people spend their free time as they wish?@wayfarerx - PC / North America / Aldmeri Dominion10 -

Wow... what an extremely egocentric reply. Some people, myself included, love playing ESO... and because I work 12-hour days and last weekend was my weekend to work, I took an extra day off during the week since I would have otherwise only had two full days to play. Knowing that VR rank removal was coming, I knew I had to get at least one character to VR16... plus I had a few other alts I wanted to reach level 50. Thus, it only made sense to make use of the extra XP by taking an extra day off that I'd have otherwise missed. Then, I relaxed a bit knowing that they had also extended the XP cake buff until tonight, Tuesday night... only to discover that not only was the system going down for Maintenance, but now has been down almost eight hours that would have otherwise made use of the final day of XP buff.
So basically... just because YOU don't take this game so seriously, doesn't mean other people don't. And making it sound like there is something wrong with them for doing so is extremely egocentric IMO.Edited by ADarklore on April 12, 2016 7:51PMCP: 2112 ** ESO+ ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****
