GMs -CAN- help apparently

[Ramses]

afaik they work from wherever they live.

From Alla's premier site summit write up:

Next we headed to the GM room, but it was nearly deserted. From what I remember last year, the GMs start to come in at around 1 PM. We got to meet Ruth, the former Wedding GM. Last year she was the only Wedding GM and we didn't get to do more than a quick wave at her. She told us that she'd been training other GMs to handle weddings and so now she was doing something else and the responsibility no longer rests solely on one person. That was good news to hear! I can't imagine being the only person to handle weddings. Ruth was very nice and what made her infinitely cooler was the PaRappa the Rapper doll at her work station. Give her atittude in game and she'll Kick-Punch-Block you in the face.

You should have given him timestamps and the XYZ position of each character when they used those cells for faster service.

And wtf is that? 640x480? /facepalm

Anywho, woulda been neat to see some GM + Frog screenshots Did anyone get?

GM didn't appear in game, sorry! And yea, not my 640x480, I play in like 1440x900.

you killed it in only a couple minutes? did you have a shitload of members or something?

Just 6...5f got 1 charm off, 6f got 0 off. People were using 2hrs/etc 'cause we were worried about timing out before killing 6f frog after standing idle for 45minutes.

But hey, I like the story. Merely seeing a GM say "pathos" gave me chills. ...Though pfft, that's not the zone to ask for a higher droprate in.

Meh, we're pretty upset at the zone recently.

Here is our last 3 months of Zhayolm. Every run had both frogs killed. Every run had a TH4+Mandau THF. 23 runs, 11 drops, 8 of them being Enlil's drops. Would be nice to see some Skadi!

French GM's are proposed a contract to work in London, since SE's, European office is there. So, unless they changed their policy, no, you don't get to at home

Yeah, you work in the SE building at wherever it is if you're a GM. GMs working from home would be... undisciplined at best.

[S N K]

Awesome that you didn't get the "working as intended" excuse GMs normally give.

Yeah I have to admit I expected that lameass excuse also.

[ringthree]

Iskaldur and Razmig have been the most helpful in my opinion. They seem to actually care about the players instead of rushing you.

I would be afraid of Iskaldur... name is too close to someone that strikes fear in to the hearts of men.

[Falisa]

All the FFXI GMs work in-house at the SE offices in LA. If they get to work from home, they are usually...parents or have lots of connections. Usually a combination of both.

[Shin Volcano]

GMs that acttualy help? Unbeliveable! call the presses!

Is that the building right by LAX? I drove past it the other day.

[Odin'sLaw]

A number of the GM staff play the game. I always figure the more helpful ones are either farther up in the GM hierarchy or they play FFXI enough to be familiar with the game mechanics more than a temp/generic GM, or both.

The GM responded a few seconds after I sent the call. I didn't mention Einherjar - but I was standing in Hazhalm Testing Grounds.... easy Vampyr boss on the wing-III, hmm.

am i the only one to find it funny that the rmt wished him a good day and he was angry that the rmt was been polite? the swine's! lol

The sad part is that sounds sarcastic... but its true.

[Tobatobu]

I have called both of these GMs before, Ojore Iskaldur are very responsive when it comes to helping players it seems. Maybe SE has changed the way they are training these individuals or gave them more rights to help out.

That Avelle loser is a fucking lootwhore, god.

Fix'd.

I'd like to have this case reviewed and this GM removed. They don't even know what game you're playing, much less the game mechanics. To think that one actually knows how salvage works is a complete joke.
