Warrior General Games

Let me share a parable with y'all... not an analogy, since it doesn't properly apply, but it might give everyone here something to think about.

A customer checks into a brand-name chain hotel and goes up to his assigned room... and finds that the room hasn't been cleaned at all from the previous guest. Not only is it filthy, it actually smells nasty.

Legitimate problem, correct? Certainly understandable if the customer gets a little upset. But it's a problem that can easily be corrected by the Front Desk: assign the guest to another room, double-check that it's a clean one, and give the guest a discount on their room rate for the bad experience.

But this guest has a short temper, and he works himself up into an incredible rage as he schleps all his stuff back down the hall, down the elevator, and back to the Front Desk, where he unleashes an incredible torrent of profanities and insults at the Front Desk clerk for his incompetence in sending him to a dirty room. And instead of offering a new room and a discount, the Front Desk clerk responds by telling the guest he can go fuck himself and find another hotel.

-----

See the problem?

The guest has inconvenienced himself even more by pissing off the only person who can help him, and the guest now has to waste time and gas finding another place to stay.

But more importantly, the Front Desk clerk has probably cost himself his job and has also cost both his hotel and his hotel brand all of that angry guest's future revenue because he couldn't understand a basic fact:

Just because a customer is over-reacting to a problem, that doesn't mean the problem itself should be ignored.

I should PM this to DD. I really should.

so it can be deleted?

The sad fact is this...

It started off about an employee getting fired...that was easily explained to where the majority of ragers understood. Then it moved to an admin that still had a personal account, and that was easily explained to where the majority of ragers understood.

Not being satisfactory enough, the ragers came up with the notion that DD was being condescending, and abusive.

Well, there was nothing condescending or abusive that he did. Yet, he went on to say that he was sorry if he offended anyone, or something to that effect, yet none of the ragers want to accept that. They are in a primitive mob mentality, like irrational beasts. Incapable of reason.

BUT! , we now have a poster with a solution to the whole irrational drama. It's give them free stuff!

Why, because now the stupidity has arisen that there are shady backdoor deals going on, and that to appease the mob, they should reward everyone with a free player or two.

Yup, that's govt education at it's finest. It's called trump up charges, then shake down the victim.

Great job idiots!


The sad fact is that there was preferential treatment of some users revealed and instead of 'here's what we did, and why, and what were going to next" we get 'internal issue, nothing to it, move along, these are not the 2 you are looking for" jedi mind-fuck bullshit.

The even sadder fact is that you clearly dont understand it and prefer to attack the user-base with useless conjecture.

You think tautology has got his DD Deny Deny Deny shirt in the mail yet?

I've spent over a thousand but most of it was in the first year. Once I realized that any improvements on this game were going to be far too slow to be considered acceptable that's when I quit spending. It's obvious that GLB can't be bothered to put any effort into giving those of us that spent a lot on the front end a reason to spend again. I mean, it appears Bort has but DD has shit all over his ideas.

fwiw they did receive some info a little faster than the rest of the community. Nothing substantial or anything but there are some things in which Catch would put together a list of things for Bort for the next season and that list would pass by a couple of those private forums (High Roller, Mike Rogers forum) and there would be some talk about the list. So they did receive "information" before people but it wasn't anything that really could have given them any sort of head start on the rest of the userbase.

Which of these opinions is genuine?

Because the claim is that the "Real Truth" (the side that is to be believed) is worse than what has been revealed, so it cannot be shared.

Sounds about right

Which is why it stayed in Beta for so long, your reward was a BETA GIF for donating to the project.

I've seen a correlation.

the less you've spent on this game

the madder you can get

If that's what you take from it then you're not very intelligent.

Well, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him think.

Maybe DD will surprise me though.

Or you just enjoy eating shit. I mean, even the tiniest dicked power gamers should be at least annoyed that they are playing in a watered down WL.

Not seeing the correlation?

If instance 2 were to be like instance one it would mean that the amount of flex they purchased would have given them free reign on the test server with no restrictions or Bort/Catch monitoring what they were doing. Or GLB giving them free teams of players at their leisure that start at level 79 that they can build however they want through VPB.

So the bottom line of the current rage now, is that some people who spent a shit ton of money on the game, gets to be in a private forum, where an admin gave them the information that is posted in the alerts before you got to see it?

If they spent that much money on the game, would you be made if they got a free mug, or shirt?

The truth be told; if Bort bought them a new Ferrari, it would be none of our business. If you want the free mug, shirt or Ferrari, then spend the amount of dough others have to get that.

I'm sure any company would love to send a "HIGH ROLLER" a free shirt! In Vegas, you get free food, drinks, and a room!
