Politician Archive

And here I thought I was alone on this. I have discussed this with 3 different CSR's and 2 of them are saying that your exp is based on actual votes, not on the number of citizens. HOWEVER, 4 weeks ago, my other character was the city mayor and had the exact same problem, it took talking to a real live CSR to get it straightened out. He told me then that this was a known bug and they were working on it. That the CSR's were in fact supposed to give the benefit of the doubt to the mayor.

I can take this current mayor out hunting, kill something and get the experience for it, OR, I can take this character out in a group and HIT something and STILL get experience for it, even though he didn't actually make the kill himself. The same applies then to what SHOULD be the experience of the Politician. He can have votes given or actual votes tallied. If 16 of your 23 people vote, you only get 1600 exp, OR, because you are running unopposed, you get all 2300 exp. Hmm..

I think our Politician Liason needs to get some clarification on this issue, and if in fact an UNOPPOSED mayor wins, do they in fact get ALL experience regardless of how many voted, OR, do they only get the experience for those that in fact went to the ballot box and took the time to click on the little vote tab? Regardless of the outcome here, we need clarification, and we need it before the NEXT turn of events. If it is in fact that each person needs to physically vote at the ballot box, GUESS WHAT.. I'm done as a politician. That's to much to ask of people that are actually trying to enjoy a game and really only reside in the city to help make it grow, not to be coming there every flippin' week to vote. Some may say that they should, I say that they shouldn't have to do that, when there are other things going on that they don't or shouldn't have to leave to come do something. I'm not their mother, and I don't want to have to remind them to 'VOTE FOR ME THIS WEEK OR I WON'T GET EXPERIENCE'.

BLAH.. enough.. this is making me want to just hit the BIG FAT CANCEL BUTTON on the account.

I was mayor of Vicimus Naboo on Wanderhome from day 1 till first week of February. Nobody ever showed up to vote and I always got full xp per the citizen count. I know this is a fact because my alt is a citizen and never voted and I still got xp for him. The new mayor of Vicimus is in the same boat. She gets full xp regardless of who votes.

It would be nice if the CSRs could learn how the game is supposed to work and how it does work before replying with wrong answers in tickets. Especially when they tell you to check the holocron and the holocron proves they were wrong

I'm at work at the moment so I cannot verify this myself...

Assuming there is NO ONE running against the mayor, only the incumbent is on the ballot.

What happens if you, as a citizen, try to use the "Vote For Mayor" option at the ballot box terminal?

Some voice in my head is telling me that you will get the message "No one has registered to run against the Mayor."

Can someone please verify this? It would be greatly appreciated! (If not I'll do it when I get home. )

CSR's are not to be blamed for the incompetence of the developers producing an inferior product or a product with bugs.

CSR's are just the support system trying to do their job tot he best of their abilities.

the real problem lies at the top of an issue where this is a business that is selling a product that is neither complete and full of problems and the developmental team is not listening to either their in house testers ( doubt there is any witht he number of problems in this game) and or their client base (us).

I agree with that ^ 100%

The CSR's can be blamed for giving false or incorrect information which is the case here. Personally I've had some good experiences with them, only 1 where three of them totally contradicted themselves. What this csr is saying is false to my knowledge: The incumbent has to be physically voted for to get the experience. We all know this is false and most of the politicians would have little experience if this was the case. They are totally confusing in this issue. They are trying to support an inferior product but their response in this case is inferior.

CSR's in this game almost never understand the system they are supporting.

This sounds just like the time a CSR tried to tell me (a master crafter) thata novice could only use 1 crafting tool at a time.

I made Master Politician, and I ALWAYS got xp from every vote (whether actively cast, or defaulted to me the incumbent).

I also recieved XP for all of the absentee balots during the weeks that it took to get myself voted out... obviously NONE of those people voted actively for me.

So unless they just changed this in the last 7 days, the CSR(s) has NO CLUE what he (or they) are talking about. No great surprise to me.

Am I the only one who's had nothing but good experiences from the CSR team?
