Don't forget that a lot of players are emotionally tied to the game/their toon one way or another.If they feel unhappy due to whatever subjective reason, it's something you should care about as a company. Clear communication about what's going on (even if you have to make up something) will make your clients happy. Now their is a lot of frustration because they just edit some numbers (hours) in a very short post. If the players get the feeling (again something very subjective) that blizz put an effort into communicating with them, lots of those frustrations will be gone.
That's good thinking indeed. I bet a lot of the people posting QQ on forums would be satisfied if they got a non combat pet to compensate the downtime. A pet called "slacky"

hmmm. I just googled "slacky" and i'm affraid that's not gonna happen, reading what urban dictionary gives as definition.
