that's true! rating is a goal. if u lose rating, u lose progress to your goal. people dont like losing rating because of sever issues when they would've won. just unfair. the problem is there are so many games that got disrupted that Lichess cant refund them all. u also have to take into considerations if the winning person is ACTUALLY winning. especially in Ultrabullet, time is a HUGE play in the game. u may be winning, but u r about to lose on time. its not fair to refund just because of position, so there should be no refund. @BTRex2010 and @roadtonmdw and @PepeMaster

theres also such a thing as blunders...u can never tell who is going to win the game.

It's true, it's impossible to know who will win. But, it's fair to refund, just anule all the games that was being played when the attack makes server fall down.
I'm saying that, no for some points that I can recover soon or later (the time and effort for winning aren't important for people, apparently). If the problems continues and the solutions are unfair, it could cause a lot of people quit Lichess or play less games. And that's the attackers want.
If the solutions are fair, it's reasonable to think that people will be more patient, even if the issues repeats. It's only my opinion.
