I actually went to the SG111 site...this thread was mentioned, though, naturally, only the parts they felt like flaming were quoted. He insisted he spoke his peace here rationally and calmly and was banned for it (but as memory serves...oh, nevermind). He also insisted that he had no hatred for this game - only with the way it's run. He then "clarified" by stating that he wanted it fixed or destroyed. I put that in italics because it's the point of contention: I don't want it destroyed. And I doubt they want it fixed. If they indeed do give a crap about this game becoming less corrupt, they're free to email me any suggestions - provided they have more meat to them than "Unban me and give me power!" Sure the GPs are corrupt, the FAQs are never on, and the LAT won't accept player levels, sure Unixmad interferes without knowing the environment and Stefan ignores the pleas of the unjustly banned, but that's just the side effects of the best solution thus far - GPs have to hire on trust, because there's no better way to see who's secretly a hacker or powermad yet. You got a better way? Let's hear it. FAQs are never on because there aren't many of them - because they're not paid and they'd rather be GPs. Solution? Still listening. LATs can't accept your levels - because right now there are 2 active members, and I'm doing all the bugfixes, hiring, and posting here. In a perfect world the submitter would work and I could dedicate some of my staff to the admittedly menial task of fixing up player levels until they're passable, filtering out the junk goldsword-in-a-field levels, and linking it all together just so the submitter can say "oops that girl dumped me here's my new house I modified the one before you fixed it la la" - but NOBODY wants that job, and I've had half my LATs quit rather than do it.
*scrolls up - that rant was longer than expected...*
Unixmad interferes. Sure. What do you expect? He's personally handling all the credit card fraud issues, the GMs vanish after a month leaving him to handle the who-fired-who-why issues, how do you expect the poor guy to investigate each and every complaint? Either he wastes a lot of time doing it and gets LESS done, or he assumes he can trust most of the senior staff and goes on blind faith.
Stefan ignores your cries for help - somehow? The guy's dedicated his life to making this game better, he handles everything that comes at him, coding Graal Classic, NPCServ, NW, G2K2, and now there's a movement for G3D, he does a lot more levels than I'd expect, and all the communications, bugfixing, video driver junk, all the complaints coming at him...and you want a PROMPT response?
I'm all for wanting things to be better, but come on - if empty complaining ever changed the world, there would be no congestion on the freeways. People have been whining about that a lot longer. You guys out there claim to be so smart, what's the solution that's going to fix everything and make everyone (not just you) happy?
Really. I want to know. Does it even exist? You couldn't POSSIBLY have hate-sites up demanding a solution be implimented without having found said solution, could you? |
