Need I say more. Lets get someone in there that can do the job!

if any of you are arcitects you migt know about this, if not here goes...

the harvetsing mechanism could be built for 8-9 months because the schamtic wouldnt load because it was not linked...

in beta, some of the furniture was linked to the wrong schematic..that is to build a torch you had to craft a small table...

right before release, they fixed these...except for the harvesting mechanism (which took another) 4 months and the master level armoire which was erroneously linked to a lower level one...

well they finally got around to fixing the armoire this last patch....

now the master amoire is a lower level one and the lower level one is now the Imp Faction Amoire we shouldnt be able to craft...sheesh

this are really simple database fixes....they are simply pointing to the wrong item in the datbase and would take 1/2 max to fix....

the problem is either total incompetence, lack of quality control, carelessness caused by not really caring or all 3....

if simple things like this happen constantly it is no wonder we have the major vendor problem we have now

They have database devs??

Remember things getting fixed on a software project should *not* be fixed solely on the basis of their complexity. I'm not saying SOE isdoing it correctly, but triaging fixes is much, much, much, much more complicated than just complexity of the fix. If you are on a team that boils it down to that, you are in for *real* trouble.

And, I would almost put money on the fact that the databse developers are saying "Dude, this is so easy to fix!" but the PM and other stakeholders are triaging the bugs more appropriately. Even though it does piss us off.

Yep, nothing like replacing the people who understand the environment with people with no functional knowledge to bring about a fix.

I heard they fired the database devs last year, it's just that the SOE's human resources database is borked, you see.....
