Feedback on the "compensation message"
Unless you guys really love doing damage control, you might want to be a little more careful on how you phrase your messages.
From the contents alone and from reading the announcement first I was immediately able to tell what that message is about, but from the way it was phrased I was immediately checking the forum to see some hilarious threads of people being outraged.
As I've said several times in the last days: a possibly huge amount of players does not check the forum.
Simply explaining what exactly this compensation was supposed to be for, you could have saved yourselves a lot of trouble.
I feel bad for the forum crew needing to clean up the mess of whoever was asked to write that message.
Tl:dr
Please improve your methods of conveying information, especially if the community is already on the edge. Makes you look really inconsiderate.
