Are we ready for the "compensation" and outrage posts later today?

Somewhere along the lines, this patch will break something, people will lose access to Gold Road or their accounts, high ping (probably DDoS attack), and then the community will have to use their favorite word:

Compensation

    I'm not sure if this is a serious post, or a sarcastic post.

    Anyway, it's not fun when u come home from work and aren't able to log in, or if you are free and can't log in the whole day, so I fully understand why people would be upset. Even more the people that have an active subscription and loose a day of their payed time.
    And so the Elder Scrolls foretold.You will be shy, and I will be bold.

    If you are delayed in paying your bill, you have to pay a compensation additional to the delayed bill ...

    There will definitely be much crying and complaining about SOMETHING. Either some people shouting for compensation because they saw a shrub in Skingrad that looked wonky and it triggered them, or it'll just be me continuing to cry at how laughably, depressingly bad Necromancer is.

    Hell yes, people will complain about things that may or may not be justified. There will be hot takes, people will be upset, chairs will be tossed, hamsters will be exhausted, threats of unsubscribing will occur, the calls for compensation will be shouted at the clouds, popcorn supplies will run dry.

    Or, pigs will fly and everything works perfectly. In which most people will be happy but the above things will still happens because there's always someone who is upset about something.

    I do not remember ever getting compensation for testing the beta version when it went live, I do remember many times when the game vanished almost as soon as the new chapter launched, so they could fix the bugs ZOS wanted fixing. Leaving the rest of the bugs there for months

    Join the club, apparently I'm the only one that cares about the fact that stamplars class identity was erased from the game in U35, ontop of Templar being in a crudy position if you want to be something other than a healbot

    Paying for something should give you an expectation that you will get what you paid for. That is far from the unreasonable position you imply.

    Game terms of service say it won't be available always. I don't get this "I pay so it should be up" entitlement.

    I'll be playing a different game anyway, told a friend I'd do the new stuff with him and he's working til late.

    You get server access with occasional interruptions. Tos says it's not always gonna be up. Temper expectations.
