They'll never make an announcement about it...

They didnt make one for SOETyrant, JustG, or anyone else that has been fired/contract not renewed.

Quite simply, she'll just stop posting.

Wow I'm not sure what to say. I had mixed feelings about Tiggs, but honestly I know that her (at times) lack of communication and responses were not "her fault". I know she has higher-ups that tell her what to say/do and she's just an inbetween for us and the developers. It was apparent that no one understood that and faulted her for everything, which was truely unfair. Quite frankly if it was me, I would have told the asshats in the community to **** themselves and quit. Guess that's why I don't work in people relations.


This comes at a bad time though, a horrible time actually. SOE pulls the grandest, most unethical business move I've seen a game company do on November 2nd, then they go and fire the only person that really talks to us at all, even if she hardly ever had answers. Man I am shocked and perplexed by this company. I think I might be following Tiggs out the door soon.

Funny thing, I was actually coming here to complain about Tiggs and this is how I find out.


I'm sorry you feel this way about Tiggs but I was never a fan of her. She was truly tactless about her handling of the community. I was actually coming to recommend that she learn a lesson or 2 from TH.


Thanks for your work Tiggs, but honestly I cannot say I'm sorry to see you go. No hard feelings, just simple opinion. And that is my opinion, I'm not trying to influence anyone with it.




damn thunderheart man, he post less then a person without a forum account. i'd rather have tactless handling and actually getting a response to a empty cold silence from the head dev.




TH was posting less because it was Tiggs' job to do so. I am comparing Tiggs' performance to TH's when he held the same position. Night and day. As I said, I am not trying to influence others, this is my opinion.


I certainly won't miss all the /pounce and stupid stuff like that when we were dying for info. It's all in the wording, for example, in addressing people posting bugs in the wrong thread (these were taken from the front page of DevTracker as I was writing this):


Tiggs: "If it is in the bug thread it will get passed on in the morning bug report. If it is just posted in that forum it will get missed." (after which she locked the thread)


TH: "Would you be so kind as to report that issue here in this thread? Thank you!" (and leaving the thread open)


This is just one example of hundreds of others you can find in DevTracker over the past year or so.






i've watched TH's post, they were useless. all of them. Tiggs has done post exactly like thunderheart as well, but i'm sure yuo missed those becuase your bias.

Yes, her idle chatter with the folks might have been annoying to some, but at least she was in the area. i can't say the same for most devs. Just because it isn't their "job" doesn't mean, they can get away with it without posting the information.




LOL...Dunderhead has been like a damned ramora since he got promoted from "fanboy" to a Community Relations guy. I hated watching her get bashed for having forum fun on her off time.

Dear Tiggs,

It is ashame to see you have to get taken out like this. You were a positive influence to the community no matter what some may say.

I feel sad on how the community at times treats you just because you are the one to relay the information to us.

Thanks for the effort you have given us and you will truly be missed here in the SWG community.

May whatever you do next in life be successful for you.

Thanks.

I'll miss Tiggs. She was fun and light-hearted and had a sense of humor even when she was being burned in effigy. Despite being muzzled by The SOE Suits a lot of the time, she did her best to get the communciation flowing back and forth.


Tiggs: TC will be back in 23.49870987553 minutes.


We'll miss you Tiggs. And your Uber Pouncing Paw. /salute

Wow...no one else was posting at times she did. She was dedicated to her job, and the shield for the producers against an upset community. Not an easy job at all.

Don't get me wrong... I have no problem with Devs having fun with us and just chit-chatting... TH does it too. The problem is when you hear nothing at all from them (think last summer) and then all we had from Tiggs was:



  • /pounce

  • Bug thread, with no follow up replies

  • Issues thread, with no follow up replies

  • Tuesday tips

  • Friday feature

All the while major stuff was going on. Guys, I'm not saying you should hate Tiggs, I respect your opinion of her. I'm just voicing my own, I was not a fan of her. Period. I simply prefer TH. You have your opinion, I have mine.


Now, TH... time to step up though... don't let me (us) down here...
