It really does not help anything at all, because while we will not remove all of the pearls, any that violate our 'you can out-damage a normal player' policies will be nerfed and thelightsaber confiscated. You only are fueling your own aggression,and anger leads to hate, hate leads to nerfing, nerfing leads to cancellations. If you honestly think that people here don't care how you feel, please be 100% assured they don't, additional post on the subject will not make us care any more or less.


Posts are 100% ignored on this forum (both those about thegame and customer service) as well asgame improvementthreads. As we are so emotionally challenged towards your concerns about the game, you may want to wait for smed to make another post so you can be ignored by the President of SOE himself.


Garva, If you are so emotionally moved by my post you may want to step away from the computer for a little bit to calm down before banning the accounts of myself and others.


For more details on Smed, see here (sorry no clicky)


http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/board/message?board.id=generalgame&message.id=85



Side note : I have made constructive posts in the past, as have many others. It is the fact that it appears they have not been taken proper note of, or the game would not be in the state it is now. Remember the result of the TC CU survey? 80% (or thereabouts)Customer dissatisfaction.


Do SOE intend to continue making changes to the game that people are not happy with?


Will SOE ever try and fix any of the bugs in game, instead of continually adding new content and expecting me to fork out £20 for the privelidge? (Congrats on getting the Imp Hat working, btw)



I clicked the [cancel subscription] button shortly after the CUwas implemented. My subscription runs out in April 06, I certainly will not be renewing it after seeing how Garva (and I assume all SOE) relate to their paying customers. As your boss, J.Smedley once said, 'Obviously you are our customers, and you pay the bills around here'


Having experienced your idea of customer service and your reaction to customers on this website, I will hesitate when I am buying games or electrical goods made by Sony or their subsiduary companies and consider a better alternative. I know others are feeling the same, presently.


If the game is heading in the right direction, why do the majority ofplayers not think so?


My apologies for the spoof of your post, but I really think you need to think before insulting your customers. This is our main point of contact with key SOE personel, and is therefore your 'shop-floor'. Comments like that made by a [insert-high-street-chain-here] employee would result in the employee being disciplined or having their employment terminated over gross-misconduct.


I make this post not out of anger, but as way to constructively point out the bad feeling you have caused. I cannot suggest your best next move, but perhaps some way of saying sorry would be a good start.

Oh, and on a similar note, I would like to state that I spend more time on the forums now than I do in-game. If that doesn't tell you anything then there is no hope.


For me, the game has become nothing more than a fancy chat engine. Games should be fun, but this one no longer is.


Is this the last nail in the coffin for SWG?


At least two good thingshas come out of it all... I needed to quit to buckle down on my studies at university, and also save money. Thank you SOE for making the move of pointing me in this direction!

I think GarVa will get a laugh off of this one after a rough day on the forums, I laughed.


...right before he deletes it.

/bump


And I will contune to bump until the 'Thinking about ranting, petitions' thread by Garva is removed and/or a full written apology and retraction is made.


The Thinking about ranting, petition thread is the same as the smed post - round them up and make them think they are being listened to, when really they are simply sweeping the debris under the carpet.


The postwasn't the biggest insult so far seen by SWG players, but the longer this issue remains unaddresses, the more annoyed people will become.


My guess is that people areespecially annoyed because SOE continue to use this kind of tactic to deal with their customers.
