Cool, let's waste more time and money...

Oh, and they suck by the way.

great we get stuck with nothing for the euro players. If they held something like this for euro players in london or Amsterdamn oh boy amsterdamn would be great. But i digress if it was somewhere i could get to in 3 or 4 hours id be there.

One of us should go in there blasting away at the survey people with a pistol. Mabe that would give SOE some feedback :/

I happen to live in Santa Clara county... I'm calling to sign up. (Assuming they'll take me).

So Wes... Do me a favor and send me the profession's top ten in a PM.

Amazing, they have the thousands of people on this board trying desperately to give them a ticket to board the clue train and yet they decide to have a "focus group" in a mall in SF...sigh.

HEY SOE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE SOME IDEAS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LOOK VERY HARD TO FIND THEM.

Look at it this way.. it's cheaper for them to hire out the work to professionals for, say, $10,000, rather than hire a team of peopleat $5,000 eachto draft up a valid and relevant survey. It would be a severe waste of time and money to do it any other way.

It's a good thing they're doing this, but I disagree with their methodolgy. It would be much better if they designed an online survey and posted messages (emails) in game asking people to fill them out. But, then again, they may be doing this in a "focus group" style (open discussion), and if so, that could be really positive if people showed up with good ideas.

I hate, hate, Hate, HATE driving in the south bay. But maybe I'll drive down there and see what's up.

Stupid San Jose and not having BART /shakefist

Glad to see this, at least they're trying to get it right.

Perhaps they thought the Mustafar expansion was going to be well recieved?

They think a lot of things that are way off kilter, IMO.

I'd tell them what I want, but I'm pretty sure what I'd say would break at least a few laws....and thats on the other side of the country.

SOE blows goats.
