    What was the reason for such repsonse ?

    And yes, happend already.
    Remember, you are a customer. If you feel not handled correct, cut the CSR's salary by cancelling :)

    But thats why i am asking for the reason, maybe you were really naughty ? ::::02::

    Its been happening quite awhile. One of the reasons they got the nickname SOEstapo. I got nailed in-game myself before with threats of bans and such for speaking my mind in a cantina after one of the worst patches they ever dropped in.

    Actually ! the reason was very minor compared to what 75% of

    the regular negative posts on the forums are. No cursing or

    anything childish,just plain negativity.

    Garva sent a very sarcastic private email to the account and

    threatened to ban on the forums and the in game account!

    But seriously the threads were not anything different from what

    everyone else is doing!

    Hold on one sec...

    You received a tell in game or a PM on the forums for telling your opinion og the NGE?

    As for Garva sending sarcastic PM's to the paying customers.... unprofessional.

    OOOOHHH!!!! Now I get it. You had a dealing with Garva. I wouldnt worry about it. The man flip flops so much its ridiculous. You caught him having one of his bad days. He does that alot.One of the reasons I dont think the man should be a mod. He brings his bad days with him to the forums. That is one reason we used to make posts "Garva's on the warpath again!". Because there were days he would just tear into people for posting something then the next day be just fine with it.

    We had a post going on my server once about pie. It was stupid but people didnt seem to mind. And he was laughing and joining in like everything was cool. Next day someone made a comment about pie in another thread and he went absolutely spare. Threatening bans and such.

    He has no business being a mod.

    LOL!!!   Make a post with the title: "Garva is having one of those "not-so-fresh" days and see what happens....   I had a friend who did!   

    SOE knows what you like... You don't!
    And don't forget... I am forcing you to read this!

    At this point whoever is still playing either needs to love it or leave it anyway.  I can't understand why some people continue to pay them money just to complain about things that will never get fixed.
  • TymoraTymora Member UncommonPosts: 1,295

    Right.  The best thing would be to stop paying them, that will let t hem know that players are disgusted and no longer support the game.  If enough players to this, SWG will go under once and for all.

    At this point, I don't think it really matters.  SOE and the rest of the mmorpg community know the mistake that was made.  I think everyone has learned never to pull what SOE pulled with SWG.  If that lesson was truely learned and players won't get cheated the way they did with SWG, then I am happy.

    Nothing new, they've (mods) have been sending PM/email warnings since the game started.  Would you rather they dress you down in public?

    In short, quit acting like a twit, and you'll stop getting treated like a twit. 

    NOTHING you say on their forums will EVER change anything.  Nothing.  Nada.  Zip.  If you are going to complain, then do so in a well thought out, concise, clear manner.  You MIGHT get a response to a "normal" post, but posting  OMGZ SOE U R TEH SUX!!!! DIE!!!! I HATE U ALL!!! UR A BUNCH OF IDIOTZ!!!!! I AM TAKING MY $15 N GOING 2 WOW!!!!! or some variation is going to be ignored, deleted, locked, and warned.

    Remember, you are a guest in their house (forums), and a voluntary one at that.  Feel free to stop reading/posting anytime.

    Well since I'm not on SOE's forum because I won't pay for an account on a badly broken game I can safely say....

    Fuck SOE,  Fuck them up their stupid asses.

    Nah I'll just stay with my slightly abrasive comments for now.

    I no longer have hatred toward SOE/LA, just pity for the remaining players who are suckered into still playing the game because it says "Starwars"on the box. My god, don't they realise how easy it is to find a turd, polish it a little and then put a logo on the front.

    Im sorry but no amount of polish will change that game its still just a turd.  I think of myself as a Star Wars fan as well having grown up in awe of the movies back then but what gets me are those that are what are considered "diehard" I suppose and are still playing this POS.

    I have a friend that started this game back in beta well before I came into the game and he is still playing.  He has never once quit with any of their changes.  A glutton for punishment I suppose but those are the ppl that remain and continue to support SOE/SWG/LA by giving them their hard earned money for broken promises and overall to be treated like crap.  I cant and wont do it.  I do miss the game but what it has become is not any fun at all.  I think Pong is a better game then what they have become.

    If you come across like a pro NGE player, you can post pretty much whatever you like and not getting banned. Call people names, start a flame thread etc. The mods only reacts when the anti NGE crowd posts or stand up for themselves. They are really just looking for a piss poor excuse to silence ( ban ) anyone who are critical towards the NGE. Freedom of speech does not apply, not even to a certain degree. If it's true they start threating people with bannings in-game as well, then it's just pathetic. But the again, we're talking about Sony Online Entertainment here....

    I cant wait for patch 31 "StarwarsPong". It would be the healthiest the game has been for a while but I bet it would still lag.

    Back to the forums, yep they suck, all pro-NGE posts kep rolling while anything that criticises gameplay gets trashed despite being a gameplay issue.

    Plus all those do-gooders who post on every thread about how NGE is so much better than pre-NGE. How they manage to find time to play the game is beyond me considering they're always on the forums. I really think they need a slap.

    ROFL.

    Freedom of Speech doesn't apply to a private message board of ANY kind, that you use voluntarily.  That goes for SOE's board, mmorpg.com, or any other forum message board. 

    It's their (SOE's, mmorpg.com, etc) house.  You're a GUEST.  They can toss you to the street any time they feel like it.  The minute YOU own the board, you can say whatever you want without consequence. 

    Until then, just shut the fuck up about Freedom of Speech and how it does NOT apply to internet forums.

    Just kidding Ransom,

    No, I'm a paying guest. Huge difference there. So according to your logic, I as a paying customer, should be humble and greatful for SOE letting me use their forums.....which I pay for by the way. So you see, in a way "we" the customers "own" the forums and should be able to have a certain degree of freedom of speech. The fact that we are guests, as you call it, we're even paying guests and you think it's ok for SOE to treat us that way. Now, for me shuting up about freedom of speech....? I don't think so. I will post whatever my opinions about the subject might be, champ.
