Quoted from nicoy3k:You’re way off here. We were all on the site at 9am trying over and over again to buy. Some people randomly got through faster than others. You made it to a deeper error step than some, but it is no different than getting a 503 error when placing the order. You did nothing to earn a spot ahead of something that actually placed on order on the site.
I don't think I'm off at all. All I'm saying is that if I got the false order placement message at 9:07 and a successful order placement message at 9:37, I shouldn't have 300 buyers that received the false messages between 9:07 and 9:37 that never tried to fix things jump me in line.
I think Spooky should go with the actual successful order placement times. They COULD TRY to figure out everyone's false order times...but as you've pointed out there are deeper levels of errors with different Buyers and, as I suggested, this would be a HUGE mess. IMO the approach that would be LEAST FAIR would be to penalize those of us that recognized the problem by putting everyone that didn't recognize the problem ahead of us.
If you continue to disagree, so be it. We're all entitled to our opinions.
