Think back Xest to the days before Kemor... now think about what info we are being given now... it may not be regular enough for some but it is still a shitload more feedback then we ever got in the old days... I honestly think that peoples memories are getting shorter.
It's not so much the amount of information that bothers me personally, it's the fact that since day 1 GOA repeatedly have major screw ups and every single time try to offload the blame onto something/someone else or just outright pretend there isn't a problem (caster AF buff not working for a while anybody?, or how about charging cancelled accounts). If they perhaps focussed on making sure they didn't continuously screw up to such extremes in the first place then all this just wouldn't be an issue.

If GOA were encouraged to come clean each time there was a problem then they'd also have to tighten up their act so that they didn't embarass themselves so frequently, the problem as it stands is that they continue to screw up and do everything they can to pretend their company is fine and that they do nothing wrong - it just adds insult to injury basically.

The communication earlier in the games life was crap/non-existant, doesnt mean that it is good now ... just because its 'better'. I have nothing against the current or past GM's, ( In fact my little experience with them has been 100% positive) but the company in general seems not to have a clue how to handle their customers.... or their hardware. :compton:
Sorry Dolittle

OK with the greatest respect I have been using PC's for over 20 years, I have used every version of windows and started on the early versions of DOS, regretably I do not have the time or the patience to educate the community with the knowledge that I have in my head that I have gathered over the past 20+ years.

As for simplyfying things down... at which point do you suggest I draw the line between explaining and patronising?

As for the communication. It may not be what we would like ultimately but I still maintain it is a load better than it was... will people please learn to differentiate between what was once a crap service and a much improved service... as opposed to the ideal service... which I have to be honest I have yet to experience from any company that I have ever dealt with.

Lothander,

Not a GOA employee, and not french... Paddy through and through and damn proud of it. I just happen to empathise with them as they are taking the knocks on the chin and keep going.

Nedo,

Too true matey. and TBH Xest should know better!

Xest.

Sorry I have respect for you but please get off your high horse on this one, you no longer play the euro servers, you dont know what is truly happening as all you see is the whine and crap posted on forums by the outspoken minority. As an E&E I am privvy to a damn sight more information that you do NOT know and are not going to know. I have been told various information which cannot be relayed to the community. which I will never give out thanks to my integrity and honour to the committment when I joined the E&E program. I resent you criticising those working to sort the problem when it doesnt affect you and commenting negatively about things that you know nothing about.. please stop it.

I suspect prydwen has been subject to another (successful) hack attempt. The symptoms observed look to me like duping and with Excal not exhibiting the same problems it looks like a disgruntled prydwen player protesting against the merge. Ive learnt not to believe in coincidence.

An explanation after it's sorted would be appreciated - hope its solved before the weekend as its bankholiday!
