But you don't represent US either. - They don't have to... that isn't what they are for.

We didn't choose you. - Correct, We did.

You never ask for our feedback in meaningful ways. - They don't have to, We (SOE) do that by posting discussion threads in the Dev Discussion forum.

You don't advocate for what we want. - Again, they don't have too.

Some of you have expressed (in and out of these forums) open contempt for what we really do want.  -  You mean what You want right?

So, who DO you represent?  I will answer that: Yourselves.  -  Correct, which is why we chose them.

    If the sensate wasn't good enough for SW, it isn't good enough for SWG.

    I personally think it should go away completely or be disbanded and remade from other players, with some positions actually being open for election.

    One thing that shouldn't happen is leave it as it is, the player base has no confidence or respect for them.

    oh come on.. calling some of the playerbase deuschebags isnt an accomplishment?

    Having access to a billion $ IP - Billions of dollars..
    Having access to a massive fan base of said IP - Even more Billons...
    Singly handedly alienating them due to stupidity - Priceless.

    Meh.  I don't care one way or the other regarding the Senate.  I would prefer that SOE spends its time and money on bringing up a new pre-NGE server or three.

    So are some of the senators.  Badgersmaker and Meatpuppet1987 for two prime examples.

    Might as well just get rid of them.  They serve no purpose.  Supposedly, the reason for their existence is to present the players' ideas to the devs.  First, they don't do that, they just tow the company line.  But, that's not the main reason they serve no purpose.
    The main problem with the premise of senators is that SOE doesn't pay any attention to them.  It wouldn't matter if we got an entirely new group of senators that constantly explains why they need to go back to Pre-CU, because SOE won't listen to them anyway.
    A new group of senators is not the answer.  A new group of SOE devs and managers IS the answer.

    Purely for sake of reference, the correct spelling is: douchebag.

    I don't remember people demanding the correspondent program be swept away. 

    While the term Senate is iconic and Star Warsy, it certainly hasn't worked out very well...much like the rest of the NGE.

    I vote they make them correspondents again and choose them for their knowledge and helpfulness to other players.

    Just change the name to brown noser or make them get tattoos on thier chin saying TH's balls were here.
  • freebirdpatfreebirdpat Member Posts: 568

    Were they elected by the playerbase?

    nope, not senators imho.

  • Wildcat84Wildcat84 Member Posts: 2,304

    Funny, the senators are coming here to vote for themselves.  No one else is voting for them.

    Proof of the fragile ego.  This is the ONE place where the senate can be blasted without their buddy mods to repress dissent, and the MUST come here.

    Plus they are prequel content.  The galactic senate doesn't exist in the game's timeline.

    Things are heating up in this thread on the naziboards:

    Senator Douschebag himself is on my case.

    is there a story behind your detest for them wildcat or do ya just have a problem with their over inflated egos ?

    and yes this is generalized, they're not all asssmackers.. errr .. badgersmackers. if i recall right the one from kette was a good person ingame and on forum, and continues to be so. but what's truely sad is look back thru the old profession forums, look at all the hard work the coros did there.. and right to the bitter end some of them

    http://soe.lithium.com/board?board.id=pikeman

    ...this group of coros cared about the game, their profession and the people they were representing. this new group seems in it cuz it makes then 1337.

    Mostly their inflated egos.  They've become an OBSCTUCTION.  They serve no constructive purpose that I can see.  Remake it into something that can serve a constructive purpose or do away with it.

    and they continue to call the players names.

    Then they wonder why people want the program ended.

    I guess insulting the playerbase is OK when your a senator....

    They are doing it now.  I expect another permaban, when I am not insulting anyone.  Yet two senators have already insulted me, and not made any constructive argument.

    i agree completely and...

     
    wow, i read some of the old threads on the pike board, and THAT passion and intrest for a game can NEVER be duplicated in ANY game, rollback, emu, new game, whatever... this game had a kickass community.
