[quote]So you start a Poll, which is a function of public opinion, then when you see results not in your favor, you cast them aside as "cranky," as if their voice doesn't matter? Asking Bungie for "goodwill compensation" for unplanned outages is silly - the fact that bringing things back online, and fixing [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Hot-Fix---10072014/en/News/News?aid=12255]player-specific errors[/url] is a ton of 'goodwill' to begin with. We have no way of knowing what the cause of the outages are - they could be server failures, or could very well be [url=http://www.cnet.com/news/ddos-brings-down-destiny-cod-ghosts-servers/]malicious attacks[/url] Also consider, other MMOs like WoW DIRECTLY charge their players a monthly fee to play their game, so in that context it makes much more sense to give people a trinket or rare thing when servers go down - you are LITERALLY paying to keep those servers running every month. True, some of us pay for PS+ or XBLG to play online, but that's not the same thing. In those cases, we're paying Sony and Microsoft, not Bungie, for access and upkeep of their networks.[/quote] I don't have a degree in mathematics, but 70% voting "Yes" seems in our favor. When the poll was originally posted a few people against the sentiment of goodwill immediately went and voted "No." Which is why I made note of it. Over time the majority of the population that did vote, voted in favor of goodwill. "Cranky" was in reference to people not wanting to receive tokens of goodwill from Bungie based out of spite seemingly. What other motivations would prompt people to NOT want to receive compensation for inconvenience? That's something I'm baffled by. Why people would NOT want something for their troubles. Is it a matter of stoicism, austerity, and principle? Also... I've had ZERO problems with PSN. When I can't log into Destiny I go directly to other online games with no problem.
