A simpler and less frustrating approach is to idle one or more accounts until you have taken three times the denied reimbursement in RL money directly out of CCP's revenue stream, and tell them you're doing it. That's why I never pay for more than 30 days at a time. I retain the option to let one or more accounts expire within 30 days of finding something CCP does to be unacceptable. Each account left idle for one day costs CCP about 50 cents U.S. It doesn't sound like much, but it's about 5 million ISK. It doesn't have to be enough money to actually hurt CCP; it just has to be enough in equivalent ISK to balance things for you. That balance is so much better than the frustration of thinking you can't do anything about a denied petition or crappy lag and disconnects.
Hey your the guy that explained how he deactivated six out of his eight accounts(or some stupid number) whenever he was angry at CCP. I remember that post. It was when eve kept postponing the server to come back up and everyone was *****ing. Some flawed logic there.
No, not flawed. I do the same with all vendors who displease me. Life is too short to go around with the pent-up frustration of paying a vendor again and again but getting less than satisfactory product or service. I regulate how much business I give to vendors on the basis of how well they do for me. I do this with convenience stores, supermarkets, computer stores, doctors, pharmacies, dry cleaners, banks, phone companies, internet service providers, online services, etc. If a vendor displeases me I rotate my business away from them for a time, or discontinue it entirely for a time. I do this because the money I spend is the only really effective weapon I have against incompetence and shoddy products and services. It doesn't even matter whether or not anyone else does this; I do it and it brings me balance and peace of mind. It evens the score on my books, which is all that really matters.
Get a life.
