Thread: SOE didn't fire Tiggs, Gamers did.

Tho there's mixed messages about it, it appears that Tiggs was not fired, but quit.
I, for one, don't blame her.
Why? Not because of the NGE, not because of SOE... because of the gamers.
Thread after thread of horridly inappropriate things were said about tiggs in the NGE forums, every unlocked thread started by her were filled with flames and personal attack. Calling her foul names, blaming her for problems, and even for things like server caps, or server quantities.
I am ashamed to be a supporter of SWG, not because of the game, or the problems it's had, or the organization that develops it, but because of the player base. To call myself a SWG player and know that statement lumps me in with the kinds of people who make some of the most rediculas and inflamitory comments I've ever read, just plain sucks. She was not given the respect she deserved, reguardless of the status of this game, or her ability to perform her job. After waiting to play on the NGE test centers, and reading post after post, I had to just go away because I was tired of it, and frusterated for her with the flak she kept taking.
No human being should have to put up with the things that were said to her.
Tiggs is gone because of the abuse this community delt her. Were I in her shoes I'd have given up long ago.
To Tiggs, thank you for your hard work, and dedication. Best to you in your future endevours.
I fully agree with you, Vreesnac.
My guess is SOE put on Tiggs shoulder the blame for not getting more support from the player community. And why is that ? Mainly because some very disrespectul players don't remember a fundamental thing : it's just a game. Noone should deserve any insult because of SWG. Especially not Tiggs, who did everything she could to give true information and was caught between two sides : the flamers/whinners and SOE.
/cry.
/whishes well to Tiggs and hopes to see her soon.
Well, if they did put it on Tiggs shoulders to carry the weight of dissentfor the NGE, bring on the next Atlas, they to will fall!
This game is starting to smell of necrosed flesh . .. the rez-timer is nearing it's end.
Well i dont agree with the nge, but i never blamed anyone, or especially not tiggs.
Because i realise that there are people that wanted the game to be like this, obviously alot that dont.
But to blame one person, when actually it was the gamers + devs that wanted this style of game, is not right.
I think its a shame tiggs quit, and i do think as ive played other mmo's (mxo, guildwars) that this MMO's
has the worse forum ever! which is why i rarely post.
Lack of respect in some peoples posts just shows the type of people who play this game 
As people say "oh im different in real life" nah you just explore sides of your personality that dont come out as much in
real life, its still you 
Eek me going off on a tangent lol

But it would have been nice if Tiggs or Thunderheart (or anyone from SOE) actually posted a response to the many objections to the NGE that have filled the boards. The longer it was before anyone bothered to reply, the greater the frustration among people who have loved this game and wanted to keep it from ending for them.
