has anyone else had this happen. when you place a trainer, it is supposed to face the direction in which you are facing. One third of the trainers that I have placed ended up facing the 'wrong' direction and that means picking them up and replacing hoping they face the right direction.


I filed a ticket for this and was initially denied (big suprise) to which i responded that their shoddy coding shouldn't be costing me 3k since I did place them correctly. As if I was trying to 'scam' 3k. I told them tolook at my bank account and see that I didn't need to scam 3k.... (well into the 8 digits).


So, i got a 3k refund which went back to the city treasury but with a notation that they would not be able to reimburse again.


And that is the crux of the issue. There is nothingI can do to prevent this from happening again, butwill be made to'eat' this loss when, not if, it occurs again.


Granted, it is not alot and I can easily afford this, but the point is the shoddy codingcaused this in the first place.


All to often it seems we are not believed when we have complaints and that because they can't verify it, we lose. /sigh.


This frequent attitude is very discouraging and makes me never want to interact with a csr again because it is quite like pulling teeth.


I feel sorry for those of you with 'real' problems. City hall goes poof? Sorry, we can't reimburse youbecause you must have done something wrong.


Bleh!

Hey there,


I find that talking to a trainer from the direction you want him to face will make him turn to face you. So, as people use your trainers, they'll be spinning around anyways to face whoever is talking to the trainer.


So I don't think there's really a way to make them "stick" facing a certain direction... If it bugs you a lot, just go talk to them every once in awhile to reset them the way you want them facing.

Jaspor is right. The trainers have no "facing." They spin to face whoever talks to them and they stay facing that way until the next person comes along.

The mission terminals behave as you explained but the trainers do not.

ive noticed our trainers will all end up facing the same way at the same time.

its like they are following the sun or something.

I walk in today to see they are all facing east, while yesterday they were facing south east. they all seem to be turning the same amount each day unless somebody talks to one. then it takes a little time for it to start facing the same as the others.
