If Calculus can simply Post the following "Nothing definitive has been done to improve the Ranger profession as a result of the Correspondant position" then I will be gone.

Given that you are attacking the correspondent system, I offer the Chef, BE, andDE revamps for consideration. No, they were not perfect. But they addressed many of the issues raised by the respective communities through the correspondent system. I don't think anyone would really argue that those professions have not seen significant improvement since the introduction of the correspondent system. That nothing has happened for Rangers is not the Ranger Correspondent's fault. It will happen.

Having seen only your posts here and what others have said, I suspect it's because of your repeated, constant, insistant, demanding way of 'asking'. As I said, that's what I suspect based on what others have said. I haven't read that many of your posts, but what I have read has been overly blunt.

Plus the whole claiming Corrrespondents are broke/don't work and then offering no suggestions on how to make things better beyond asking "what have you done for me today?"

I'm just curious as to why this is such a major point of interest with you? I mean, the sky is blue ...but telling people the sky is blue does nothing to change it. What will you get out of Calc telling you that nothing has yet been acheived? What purpose does it serve, other than a seeming need in you for vindication? Is this your "end game" for SWG? Your tenacity in this ongoing quest of yours would be better focused in offer suggestions onhow the problems can be resolved, instead of continuously citing examples of failure.

It appears you believe the correspondent does nothing to help the Ranger community. Fine. You have the right to your opinion, though it does not carry anymore weight than the next person here. However, Calc does not owe you anything. He need not speak outright his feelings on whether his position has done anything to assist change with Rangers. If you believe he does, then I put the same question to you, sir. What have you done to help this community? Just because you don't have a blue name on these forums, does not mean you should be exempt from contributing in a productive fashion.

With that established, I would like to hear you speak (if you insist) on something not yet addressed in the many other threads here and deleted, which essentially are rehashed copies of this question you keep asking. If you insist on asking the samething over and over, you are doing nothing but promoting yourself as a self-interested, single-minded, unproductive, childishly illogical person.

If you have even a hint of critical thinking skills ....the answer is already in front of you. Calc is here to organize our thoughts and convey them to the DEVs. What happens to the information afterward and the time it takes to see results is then out of his hands. If you must badger someone, please direct it to TH or one of the DEVs, because this is getting ridiculous.

I have answered all of your questions Darth but you will never see them becaus ethe post was deleted. Calculus was active in that post and so I do not need to catch him up. Still this community only presents anger and a simple question goes unanswered. As to the name Darth_ I belive there were rules against, its nice that you expected someone to entertain your thoughts by letting you keep your name.

As to your messiah comment, I could never be him, and I suspect you understand the full answer as to why. For that comment you should apologize as it is clearly inappropriate.

First, the messiah thing is not a comment ...it is a signature. Further, it is in no way offensive because messiah is a title only, not indicative of a specific person. I will not apologize, because I've had this signature for two months and you are the only person to be so "self-interested" that you took it personally.

The name Darth_ in forum use is not against any rules which I have ever read regarding the use of these forums. IN GAME, you cannot use such names ...but I have not done so. I don't expect anyone to entertain my thoughts unless they elect to do so. Those that do, I will be more than happy to carry on intelligent conversation with. Those that do not ...well, imperfection is human. Just a little joke there. Lighten up, Serraphin ...you're probably to young to be as uptight as you seem. I'm not angry with you at all ...I am simply trying to convey my thoughts to you on how your energy would be better spent in a productive fashion.

I commented on this, but that too got deleted...

How did we get Camo? How did we get Tracking? So we drive this to it's logical conclusion and we get what.. more "bones" and no "meat"? I'd rather be patient and get a great revamp then pitch a fit and become like the BH and Pistoleers. You push the devs like this and the BEST you can hope for is "hurried" work.

We still need the corrs, too much noise without them. There was a study done with Airforce pilots about information overload and I can see the same thing happening here. You have everyone talking DIRECTLY to the devs they will just shut us all out. We have had the best corrs in the game and Calc was pestering TH all the time till Delta corrected him so I think we are still in good hands.

Also remember that TH is not all powerful ether, he is slightly above Janitor in the decision cycle. Even he got voted down on priorities.

There are a lot of good ideas floating around here, channel your anger in those directions: come up with things and comment on the ideas already brought up. Think I'm complacent? Let me direct you to that Stealth thread up there... and I'm NOT letting that one go, but I do plan on pushing it till ether 1) we actually ARE getting our skill point's worth out of this profession or 2) they implement it. It would solve SL and GCW problems as well (one being as weak a prof as us and the other being stale and with unimaginitive tactics).

I'm just not going to be in everyones face about it all the time. I might be at one time or another but you WILL get us scraps and hurried patches if you keep up this line of thinking. Not to mention loosing respect of folks in the LAST forum that has any civility.

While your determination is to be admired, it should be focused on what we could do, specifically to this profression, to make things better. Deleting Ranger, or the corrs, is not the correct answer. You can always play another game. That would be your best way of sending a message, perhaps.

Wow. For a moment there, I thought a whole BUNCH of posts got deleted/went missing. Then I realized I was just having deja vu.

Calculus CAN also choose to ignore you. What he WILL do is up to you, but it is physically within his power to ignore you. And I doubt restating your demand (or is this an exact repost, even?) is going to get him to answer any faster.

Calculus can answer my question or post "NDA" with nothing else. I still don't see why everyone is upset with the notion that I have this one basic question. Everyone is upset but the question remains unanswered.

The answer may not be important to you but it is to me. Because if the answer is what I think it is then this forum, for me, has no benefit.

Sincerely,

Serraphin

It was said this this is the last forum of civility, I profer that it is not. I have not flamed a single one of you only challenged the status quo and demanded an answer you may or may not feel I am entitled too. For this the majority of this community has Flamed and consistantly one starred me. So be it. The question stands and it is a fair question.

*sigh*

You came in here and slagged off everything that we as a community had done for the past 8 months. You changed facts to fit your agenda and you completely ignored everything that has beenexplained to youin this, and in every other, thread. Then ignoring everything that you have done you tell us that it is we who havn't lived up to our reputation. If you want our support for a method of getting things done you have a hugely destructive way of showing it.

Your question may not be a bad one. Its how you've asked the question which is the problem here. If someone came up to you and said "your hairs crap, your girlfriend looks like she's been slapped with a wet haddock and your car is something out of a 1980's skodaplants owners worstknightmare" and then asked if you'd mind helping him move his sofa then I'd recon you'd probably not be inclined to help or listen to the chap. Basically thats what you've done here.
