Well, the only way you/we are going to make NCSoft sit up and take notice is by direct action.
I feel they have made the offer they have based on the minimum they think they can get away with offering us and placating us.
Well, I am not placated. I paid for a 7 day Rune of XP and feel short changed.
Do you?
Well, do what I have done. Contact NCSoft to tell them that *until* you receive adequate compensation you will refuse to buy anything further from the L2 Store.
And then stick to it.
If enough people do this and their bottom line is affected they will have to up their "offer".
But the only way you have a chance of making them change is by telling them why you are doing it.
And posting here on the forums too so that there's a public list of who is withholding their hard earned from them.
I am disabled and on a low income and don't have money to throw at companies like NCSoft who short change me.

PS, a message to all the fail-trolls out there who will no doubt post replies in this thread. Please do so, I have depression and could do with the laugh that your fail-troll posts normally give me.
Nope sorry no, as soon as they let me add more NC coin, I'm going on a buying spree
It's your fault you bought an XP rune knowing darn well that the servers were unstable and that login was horrible, so you rolled the dice and lost.
I'm more than content with their compensation since they didn't owe us anything and something is better than nothing
Stop being a tool-fanboy and get a spine. You're disgusting. F2P or not, the servers should run like their not powered by a potato. If people paid for a rune and were met with log-in issues and 20 second lag for 1.5+ weeks something nicer than very mediocre items should be given. When a vent of 50+ people are laughing at the "compensation" something is wrong.

They most certainly do owe people compensation to some degree (and a 5 hour rune doesn't cut it for people that paid for 7). Not being able to login for hours at a time and not being to xp due to lag is an unacceptable state of the servers. They sold a product for use and then failed to maintain a bare minimum standard of service necessary for using what they sold.
Any Runes that were purchased before or at the start of the issues should be compensated. If you bought a Rune during the time the servers obviously had issues, then that's your own fault.
If I paid for a Rune and it went wasted with no compensation, I'd consider filing a complaint with the BBB.
You're so cute! Wonder where you got the idea of me being accused of RMT. Go back to your cave troglodyte.
/facepalm. Read my quote again. I was referring to the Zophiel guy who has a habit of accusing random people of it not you .. schools are really messed up nowadays they don't seem to teach basic reading skills.

No kidding. Way to side with someone and then have them insult you as a result!
Maybe they dont owe anything. True.
But they want customers!
In Febraury Aion goes free 2 play for example. I know its NC as well, but not hosted by the same company. So everyone who joins Aion is 1 customer less they have. SO they HAVE to take measures to keep people here.
Maybe im a bit nostalgic. I played La2 for 3-4 years and left some years ago, when 80% of server population were bots. So i thought ill give it another try and was amazed........for the first few hours.
Then i realized: They have not enforced any measure against bots, they killed the low lvl game, the adapted a korean event (where they have to buy hour cards) 1:1 on a free to play server (which destroyed economy for month, more than any bot could do)
and now last but surely not least they seem to be unable to fix a major server issue. I for myself am sure to 90% i will switch to Aion in February and restart on the new european server. To put it bluntly, thats not because of the game, i always liked grinders. Its to 95% because of the obviously overcharged game provider here.
PS: I am not saying this will help, but it's somthing. On the forums only one or two ppl that work for NC will see all threads about it. But if support tickets start poring in and calls from BBB then it might get the attention of higher ups.
1 hour runes or birthday potions would be make a lot more sense than a 5 hour rune. double exp for a week would make even more (since we essentially lost a week of play time even for noncashbuyers, yes i know a few of you did get to play and had no problem hunting without shots like the bots that you are). quite frankly, i stopped buying exp runes after the first week because even then it wasn't possible to log in with 100% success.

one of the things I mentioned in my original post was that *as well* as listing yourself in this thread that people contact NCSoft to inform them of their decision to boycott the L2 store until they were adequately compensated for the loss of a product they had purchased - in this case, the inability to use the 7 day rune for a period of time that could be reasonably be expected.
