Compensation a big deal?

ok so I saw a few posts about this, and instead of putting up the question multiple times I just decided to do this.

we pay $15 for 30 days of play (31 every other month, 28/29 in february). that's 50 cents a day to play a game. so is it really a big deal to lose that extra 50 cents, in exchange for not only new content but what's soon to be a brand new world of warcraft?

and before I get flammed with "I pay for my subscription" and all that crap, I'm not saying you don't -deserve- compensation, I'm just asking if it's really worth taking the time out of your day to type it up and wait for answers for what was basically 50 cents, barely a phone call these days.

probably won't come back to this so it's w/e, just something for people to think about, I see why they want to be compensated, especially if they could only play today (Tuesday) of this week because of their busy schedule, but I bet most people who want compensation really play a lot so this isn't really "hampering" how often they play.

I addressed another thread regarding compensation earlier, that post is quoted below.

Q u o t e:
Perhaps, perhaps not, Deathgrip. Maintenance, both the brief ones and the more extended versions as well as a good deal of unexpected downtime is calculated into the base subscription of the game. That is not to say that credit is not applied in certain cases.

This would not be determined until after the realms are made live and all maintenance related issues have been resolved. If credit were to be applied it would likely be added to your account automatically, you can see a history of credit by visiting your Account Management page under payment history.

If you wish to suggest that compensation/credit be provided for downtime you are welcome to post in the Suggestions forum.
