Thread: Droid Hander/Poll to recall the current DE Correspondent.

It's pretty obvious since this Droid Handler profession crap has come back to life that our current Droid Correspondent is putting his own personal point of view ahead of the DE community. That's the only way I can see that the DEV's got turned around and got the misconception that the majority of DE were in favor of them putting in the Droid Handler profession.

I probably stand alone in this but my vote is get him recalled and replaced with someone who doesn't make his/her own personal bias a priority.

From reading between the lines on the "droid invasion" post and the Correspondent Board post between Drashk and TH, I think I see the way that all came out. TH came to Drashk and told him they were going to be putting combat droids only into the DE tree. TH didn't tell him what the alternative was, just told him that was what they were thinking. Drashk, right full so, told him that the majority of DEs were "crafting only" DEs and that most of us wouldn't like that. Remember, we want droids to be usable by all professions. The result was that TH went to the devs, told them we didn't like the idea. The devs went with their option 2, which wasn't presented to Drashk up front as the alternative, and DH was born.


The problem isn't with Drashk. He's doing the best he can under a difficult system. The problem is with the persnicikity secrecy system SOE has invented. TH knows things he can't tell Drashk, but he can't keep it straight across all the professions and correspondents. Drashk knows things he can't tell us. This causes him to make some mis-statements because keeping it straight is a chore in itself.


This is the major problem with not only the correspondent system, but with the communication system as a whole. SOE has decided that we aren't able to handle the type of open communication and idea discussion that exists in the beta stage of development. Keeping secrets is a severe handicap for communications, and until SOE understands this and treats us all like the paying customers we are, things like this will continue to happen.

I agree with GnomeAd, its not the Correspondent.. its the lack of intelligent communication coming from SOE.

This has been the issue with every Correspondent that's quit in the past.

Plus if you look through all of Drashk's posts you can see that while he may support the DH profession personally, whenever he posts something as the corespondent he represents the view of DE's in general, and keeps his personal views seperate.

Well, my appologies. Especially to all my fellow long term Droid Engineers as well as the correspondent. This communications thing has finally just really gotten under my skin and has me grinding my teeth. Guess its time to go play the game and try and forget about this forum for awhile.

I think Drashk is doing a fine job. I see no reason to try and change this right now.
