Thread: Correspondent
I agree - the whiners are ruining our forum. People like Amazin, who say they speak for 90% of us when in fact he's simply a childish, ranger-turned-dabbler who likes causing trouble. (Go back to Gorath Amazin and learn how to spell).
The correspondent needs to be able to 'choose' who can PM himinstead of being flooded with 1500 PM's. I like Varv's idea of having key people he listens to - and I think the next correspondent needs to do the same.
Lastly, I think the BH community needs to speak up and support our correspondent and help squash the people like Amazin who are low lifes up to no good.

Honestly, I don't see the correspondent spot being filled any time soon. I think it'll take a week or two for Q to notice Varv left.... JK
Seriously though, I don't know really think we have to worry about the whiners getting their way. And if they do, I don't care. There are other games. I was drawn to this game by it's theme. Not the game itself. I love the game, but will drop it as soon as it is no longer fun. Hell Soul Calibur 2 comes out today. I'm feeling a bit sick of the whole "community" (if that's what thisis... heh) thing anyway. So yeah, basically the point is, I don't think that Q or Raph or anyone would ever chose a correspondent who is notorious for whining to get their way, or for pushing to have their ideas and their ideas alone implemented in the game. If they DO choose a replacement from the gaggles of whiney bitches in this forum, then fine. So be it. I'll ride it out until A, they're gone and things stay basically the same, or B. they get their way, and the game no longer works.
Either way, we'll just have to wait and see what happens. I honestly don't think many people involved in this process thus far have fully grasped how well Varv handled this position. I too have disagreed with his ideas on some issues, but he has been more than willing to listen to my opinions and ideas. I doubt that most people in here would do the same.
So yeah... I just hope no whiner becomes the correspondent next. (or maybe I hope they do, then that way they'll get to feel the mental torture I'm sure Varv has gone through. Being completely ignored can really get to ya after a while 
)
Well, 1 more nerf and I'm gone. 6 whirlwinds so far, without even a tiny fart in the direction of fixing this profession. Being gated is what sucks.
By my count, SOE has nerfed my characters now 36 times. (Yeah I played EQ)
Can you guess which profession is the 'Druid' of SWG?
I think everyone Varv asked to has refused (including me) and i can't blame them for that.
who wants to be the correspondant of a community composed with a vast majority of :
- whiners
- dabblers
- crybabies
- fill the blanks with whatever suits you.
The Eyeshot nerf is maybe the only one that will make me smile.
Not that i will like it, but some people here did beg for it.
Okay nobody will get that. The Druid was not nerfed. The Druid was the sole-loved class of EQ. The class, and anybody that played it, was welcome to do whatever they pleased. It was totally overpowered all those years, still is. It offers little to a group, but can solo easily without harm to themselves. They were able to kite 4 nasty yellow (at least) at very high level, and everybody who didn't have an ounce respect for their fellow players played one of these. (making it the most pain in the ass in the game for everybody else around them)
But, DEV was in love with the Druid, and it was never 'balanced - because it's not in our original vision'.
What does this sound like to you?
Nah we are the Necro's of SWG
Strong in the begining, overnerfed to hell for awhile, and currently the most pure offensive character in EQ.

I once thought I'd do a good job in this position but waited to see what the first correspondent would have to deal with. Now, after seeing the immense amount of work that Varv put into it, with no result whatsoever except to be flamed by the community clowns and ignored by DEV, there is no way in hell I'd ever do it. I wouldn't last 2 days, I have no tolerance for stupid.

Actually I was referring to creature handlers. Not that I have anything against the original players of the profession, but let's face it...somebody at DEV really has a bug up there about this profession in general. It is totally loved by them, yet realistically shouldn't even have been in this game. This is the MAIN reason why this does feel like 'Star Wars'.

doesn't feel like Star Wars.
/agree BH are the necros of SWG.
I played a wizard BTW, but I still felt for my poor necro brothers and sisters and I still hate crybaby druids. Anything more annoying then the beloved druid CH macro - "Incomplete Heal on <target>"? They called it "incomplete" because they didn't want to admit how powerful it truely was. They use the "glass half-empty" mentality on everything and SOE buys it.
Thing is with druids, they just never stopped whining and stupid SOE listens to those who whine loudest. it sucks and its true.
Sorry varv, I believe you had our best interests at heart, but I also think you have absolutely NO idea how SOE does things.
I have stated before that I feel 75% of the people running around with a BH title over there head in the game, and the % posting on our boards only have one line of the BH tree. I am really waiting for SOE to continue down the path they always seem to use (it always seems to end in some of the stupidest things i have ever read) and we end up with a pistoleer master/ BH dabbler as our Correspondent. True Varv DID have other skills he used before he got to master, I'm in that same boat, not using your extra points just to stay on the pure BH path is like hanging a "Kick Me" sign on your self. My goal is master BH but untill i get there I will use whatever side skills I need to get there faster.
For those of you that gave Varvidos alotta crap about stepping down.... Are you going to fill his shoes? better yet COULD you fill his shoes? Varv did do alot of work, far more then i would have without getting a pay check! I'm starting to feel as some other people do here...... there are just too many people that Cry before the think at all!
I'm just going to play the game, when the BH class is gimped beyond play, I will use my stock pile of pistol, carb, combat xp to switch to another profession or cancle my account. I wish everyone the best of luck, but I'm done posting here.

I've seen a lot of nonsense about the correspondent not supposed to pass along their own views.
I disagree. This position requires independent thought. Many of you speak pretty highly of the 'needs of this community', but more and more I see a high percentage of dabblers in here, as well as people who are not even interested in Bounty Hunter profession, but rather trying to discredit those with good ideas, and add confusion to this forum.
This means the correspondent needs to weed out the clowns first.
I don't agree with much of what Varvidos01 thinks. So what? Your claims that hewas not resending those needs to DEV are untrue. If you disagree, prove it.
As for DEV, considering the seeming lack of interest in this profession, who in hell would want this job? They created a position just to have communications with the community, then don't use it. So this guy has to go through all the work, just to be ignored by them, and then be blamed by you clowns for nothing being done about the problems.
Congratulations, your campaign to discredit Varvidos01 has worked. He quit. And personally, I don't give a rat's ass who takes over. Nobody is listening anyway. Even if they were, this is another example of the whiners running their own campaign to ruin this game all in the name of their own selfish needs.
Considering DEV is listening to you more than anybody else, I can see where this game is going down the flush hole fast, and nothing is being done to stop it.
/agreed in full. Thanks Wepps.
I am willing to bet that the VAST majority of people who gripe about dabblers are already up to the stages where they have advanced BH skills and thusly don't care if the lowbies get nerfed. Well, when you want the lower levels to get nerfed (AFTER you're done with it of course), please don't be surprised when they supplement their skills (that YOU had more of available to you) with other classes.
Criminy!
