Pwa...

[konidias]

One thing that I wanted to touch on in particular...

The fact that you're globals just opens up so many problems. Because for one, you weren't hired from a majority vote. You were most likely hired by one person. Meaning one person decided to give you power on a global span. Which leads to the problem that there will be people who don't think you are fit for the job, or think you're an imbecile, or whatever... and then that is where conflict usually arises.

There was also the interesting point brought up that if a manager has a problem with a global/pwa, they are sh*t out of luck. I think this is what gets under my skin the most. Say I get into a dispute with a pwa about something... who can I report the pwa to? Nobody. Spark? Psshhh... He's the one who hired the person you're complaining about. It's natural for him to take the side of his own team, before he takes the side of some "whining" playerworld manager. You can't report to Stefan. Even if you somehow magically get in touch with Stefan, it's not very likely that he'll remember or have the time, to discuss the issue with the person you're having a problem with. It just winds up a dead end.

Last but not least, globals are human. Not only are they human, but several of them (which they have displayed in this thread alone) are rather arrogant, have a superiority complex, and are quite stubborn. This type of behavior isn't something that benefits Graal in any way. Yet I think it's the reason I loathe "globals" so much. The whole "if you don't like my decision, go cry about it" aspect, doesn't really appeal to me. At any given time, a PWA can get an attitude, and completely disrespect a playerworld manager, and who ends up looking like the bad guy? Well the manager of course!

Spark isn't going to do anything about his own team's attitude problems, because he tends to have one himself. The last thread that was made about PWA was closed because of all the unprofessional arguing... That's the key word in this entire debate. UNPROFESSIONAL.

I know that Graal isn't as well known as some of the online games out there, and hasn't really jumped into being advertised on TV or in stores or whatever... But I'd still expect professional staff. The game is P2P, people don't pay just to get pushed around by someone half their age. The last thing I need is some 14 year old kid demanding that I do something with my playerworld because he says so. Then when I complain about it, I get shown the door. That's really lovely I'm sure.

I think some of the pwa, and some of the GST have attitude problems they need to work on... and the worst part is that they don't even see the problems. By the way... I skipped reading the 2nd page and stuff, so I might have to come back later and reply to whatever was said there.
