I am impressed that you jumped on the bandwagon with all the other CSR bashers on this forum. /cheers to you m8 for blaming the staff for what the supervisors memo'd.
I'm certainly not one to jump on bandwagons (can't be bothered to dig up proof of that right now). Like my links indicate, my frustration arose from the cold silenceafforded to me and the hundred other grieving players by the so-called "community representative." I'm not going to blame some unknown supervisor because the person supposedly representing us is completely ignoring us.
Granted the details of Tiggs departure are unknown; she may have even left doing something honorable like standing up for the players against greedy SOE (in which case I owe her an apology) but given her track record I'm not inclined to go with that theory. I'm honestly relieved to see TH picking up the slack now because his SWG history goes all the way back to beta and from what I know about him he actually has a passion for the game (or did at one time, lol).

Business is business, I reckon. Nobody wants ta do business with a monster though, no matter how good the deal is. That's what ya just became ta many of the folk here. There were folk who actually liked the NGE who quit over this. If ya'll can toss a single female with kids outta Austin man, then that shows to many thatya'll are cold hearted bastages.
At that point manyou can make the best product in the world and give the customer 100 character slots. It won't matter. Even if its the perfect deal for the public, ain't nobody wanna deal with a snake.
Instead of sayin' "I'm happy ta subscribe ta a great game," now they are sayin', "This sucks man. Its the best game evah, and its too bad I ain't gonna play it on account of the slime in Austin who toss out women and children."
Its this sorta stuff that reminds us all that there are more important things then sendin' ya money ta forgettabout the real world. You just reminded everyone here that there are priciples at stake. Humanity (or Rodity in my case
) be at stake. Ya can't sellnobody games when they see that ya'll ain't not only real, but real bad.
Peer pressure has just worked against ya. Peeps who support ya are gonna be seen as mosters alongside ya. "How can youplay thatNGE whenSOE fire women with kids?" Playin' this game has now become a moral crime ta some. You can't generate hype with that, Brenlo. Don't matter who you are.
The mythic aura of reverence is gone from the red names. We don't see ya as gods no more, but men, I reckon, and bad men at that.
Never state that ya fired a single woman with kids unless ya'll are goin' bankrupt. Cause if ya ain't goin' bankrupt man, then ya'll look like you be morally bankrupt. At that point man, ya lost yer ability ta sell ta human beings (or rodians too
).
Just wanted to let you guys know that Tiggs asked me to tell you that she is reading the forums and is touched by the support from the community.

OMG!!!!! Are you like 12 years old????? Dude!!!! You think that being a woman (single or not) with kids makes you immune to incompetent firing???? hahahahahaha!!!! Welcom to the real world! I bet your dad works for a union!
That is hilarious... I have morals, but seriously, starting a family does not give you an excuse to suck at your job!!! holidays or not!!!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!
This is the best! i cannot believe that there are still kids so disillusioned over sh*t like this...l you are probably a teen smoker because you think it's cool too. lol!
You have to stop watching TV and reading the news kid!
Thanks for the laugh... Tiggs, I hope you do ok. All kids deserve a good mom and a good life, but maybe you should reconsider the whole CS career here... not your forte... best of luck!
Cheers!

/salute Tiggs
I know that no one replace her. The incredible amount of dedication she's shown to the community and to the game are beyond what I would have expected from someone in her position.
I can genuinely say that my time on these forums has been positively influenced by her great attitude and incredibly professional yet fun demeanor.
If Tiggs sees this (or if someone is in contact with her please) I want to express my appreciation for all her hard work! I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling that she really does represent part of the SWG "community" as a whole that we've come to be a part of over these last two years.
Darn skippy!
The last Stratics HOC chat I vivdly remember Tiggs staying in the #starwars channel WELL after it was over answering our questions to the best of her ability on her own time, all whilst many players were ripping her to shreds left and right.
A thankless job, and one she didn't have to do.
True she had her moments where she could have used more tact and understanding, but I'm not sure anyone would have managed to do better under those circumstances.
/kowtow Tiggs!
Have a bottle of Corellian Ale on us...

Dude, wake up and smell the coffee.
Tell Tiggs that she may be a great human being... I'm sure she is, and a great mother too, but customer relations sure ain't her line of work... She probably has a bright future in gaming, but she certainly was not in the right position here. This is all for the best, for you, SOE and the rest of us. Best of luck, but life goes on.
