GMs are just front-line support... they're told to answer questoins... that's it. They get paid to do their job and they're not going to lose their job going against the rules just because someone stole an HNM.

So its bad to claim a HNM and keep its attention and not kill it for a bit.... but you can steal it whenever you want....
its like a cop saying to you... They didnt steal you car cause they had the keys and they can keep it now.
or... I'm sorry that that pick-pocket stole your wallet sir... but there is notihing i can do since you only had it in your back pocket where he could get it.
Oh well.... oops sorry mister gil-seller i didnt relize i had 5 weapons and two fetid fleshies on me when i came to see you kill serket... i need to warp and save my life!!!
people who badger customer support are annoying.
it doesn't matter what he thinks as a player, he doesn't get paid to offer his opinions.
If you dont try and badger customer support they will think everything is ok with there "Dont do jack" service.Originally Posted by layoneil
At work when a customer complains I pass it on to the director and see what can be done.... pushing a GM into giving his opinion may get him off his ass and do something....
Customers are the first part of the equation... to have there own workforce complain will get the wheel spinning faster.
That maybe true to some extent, but in most situations it wont.Originally Posted by Sadler
I have experience dealing with customer service (was a dispatcher for a limo company). Most companies aren't concerned with CSR's personal opinion and want them to stick to company guide lines/rules during phone/email conversation. Also in some ocassions, calls are monitored, and no CSR wants to jepardize their job because of his/hers personal opinion that he/she may later be reprimanded by their supervisor.
Don't think of GMs as drones, no matter how robotish they may sound, they're just following company policy, nothing more. And I'm not defending them, it's just pointless to complain about them not doing anything, w/o fully being aware of what GM can and can't do.
Personally I'd like to be able to read the rules and guidelines a GM has to abide by, cause I want to understand their motive in dealing with situations how they do.
I also called a GM at that gi lsellers stealing serket thing. Eventually I got a response from a GM, and they went on about how there is nothing they can do about it (sorry ps2, no chat log screenshots).
Eventually when he asked if there was anything else he could do for me, well...this:
Orfeo>>>Hmm, do you know [GM]Gludd?
GM>>>Yes. He sits right behind me, plays his music too loud...
Orfeo>>>lol^^
GM>>>He runs to the store for me though, so hes a good kid.
Orfeo>>> Tell him to go to the BG forums, we have a topic about him
GM>>> Oh my.
GM>>> Ok, I will pass this information on to him.
I told my friend about how I actually chatted with a GM and then I got this:
GM>>>We aren't that special!!
Orfeo>>> lol reading my chat logs are ya?
GM>>>Never.
GM>>>That would be cheating.
Hahaha, who was the GM that did that?Originally Posted by Orfeo
depends on the size of the company imo.Originally Posted by Sadler
aren't NA GMs outsourced to SOE?
Don't think so.Originally Posted by layoneil
oh yeah check the sig! FYI if you get jailed/banned for 24 hours when you login they leave you there and you have to wait hours for a gm to come.
>> Gm: Please reffrain from using vulger language blah blah blah
Rusty : Let me outta this bitch
Lol classic
ROFL, that is comedy gold there. The only time I saw a GM actually out was when a JP LS stole KB from a shell on my server, then they started yelling racist remarks back and forth, see Hiroshima comments, and Pearl Harbor.
I'm going to go try this today.Originally Posted by Princemercury

Senior GM Caedmon was the GM that responded to us when Deodeo claimed and called for help on our Tiamat. Luck us, we got a senior GM. He was actually pretty nice and DID put a warning on Deodeo's account, but due to their rules, they can't do anything to him unless he does it again. The GMs contacted a Japanese GM who responded that according to Deodeo's LS chat, what he did was an accident. So they couldn't ban him =(. Goddamn technicalities. Anyway, Caedmon is a senior GM if anyone's looking for assistance.
Also, after the event, GM Luminious was called by Deodeo when members of my LS were attempting to MPK him Boyahda tree. They were sent to GM jail and then put in the same room. Luminious told them "normally your accounts would all be flagged for an act like this but I was just informed about the Tiamat incident and we will lift all warnings." He continued to joke with my LS members before releasing them.
o.O

a
Kazrift was the GM I got when I was reporting MPK on those damn gilsellers in Kuftal.
I was helping an LS mate get points on his Sapara of Trials (we were killing CRABS) near the Amemit area and apparently they felt offended.
I must say they totally SUCK at MPK. Since they couldn't drop 20+ Robber Crabs on two people. Hell I had Escape ready and shit and didn't even need to use it -.-
When I got MPKed at Amemit it was about 20 crabs, 15 spiders, scorpion, a few cactuars. They booted the guy, supposedly for good, but of course now he is back even though he has MPKed about 50 people atleast in that same spot.![]()
What I should of done my last day was grab a few Ladons, Tigers, and Cockatrices onto to those little bastards, atleast went out in style.![]()
