Q u o t e:
This is why there are "free to play" games....wouldn't care except that I am paying for this "non-game" time


Actually there are free to play games because that is their business model, and it works for them given their resources and popularity. It doesn't currently work for ours.

Your subscription fee takes into account such times as maintenance, both normal and extended, as well as unexpected down times. You do not pay for 24/7 access to the game. Though we try to provide as much up time as possible, it will never be 100%.
