just think if a pre cu favored swg vet got that job... it says that that position is in charge of growing subscriber base... if they are hiring one, it implies that the former Sr. Director got fired.. hrmmm

anyways, does anyone here meet those requirements?

Here's was the most interesting comment....

"Maintain close communication with the outside developer to ensure they meet contractual requirements and deliver the highest quality product on schedule and on budget."

Do they contract the development to a firm in Mumbai?

goalieman392 · May 2007

no, that would be SOE

Raunu · May 2007

It does not imply that the previous Sr.Director was fired. He could have quit or other things may have happened to cause this position to be open, but saying that he was fired is pretty presumptious(sp?).

Even if I was qualified for the job, I would steer clear of working on that game.

Yeah, that exactly what they need. One of your ex SWG emo's to totally alienate the current player base. I could just imagine your first post on the official forums. "Attention current players. You are all stupid because you like the game after the NGE. Thank you"

it would be the first time in a long time that a Dev would be speaking the truth.

You are all stupid because you like the game after the NGE. Thank you" They allready did it once, they could very well do it again at any time. Regardless of who is in charge. This is the one thing that NGE supporters seem to be forgetting. Regardless of who is in power, SOE could very well at any time, completely alienate the playerbase again. Why you continue funding them is beyond me.

Is being a elitist asshole part of the job requirements for that position? People around the SWG refuemo forum strike me as the type of people that would go to a tee ball game and yell at your kid when they missed a catch because they arent playing at a pro lvl. Get over it, some people are enjoying the game, just because you aren't doesnt' make them stupid, it makes you something I am lacking a good word to describe at the moment.

I would do it but I recall the hit to my phyiscal health that occur to me when I was Banned by SOE for Galaxies . I could only imagine what would happen to me if I got fired by Lucas Arts for Galaxies....At least I have good life insurance.

Come on, thats not very original. You can do better then that. One of you emo's called me a "SOE sack smoocher" I still get a chuckle out of it.

Funniest thing about it was that I have never said anything Pro SOE. My wife was reading the post over my shoulder and said "Wow, that guy is a radical Islamic suicide bomber waiting to happen" But regardless, SOE sack smoocher is still funny as hell.

You fail to see the actual reasoning, what you're seeing is just the angry result. People don't hate the game because of the way it is, they hate it because of the way it was, and that everything they did (or rather, we did) was rendered null and void after several years of the game being live. If SWG had been the way it is now at launch, you'd never see people talk like this about it. And yes, MMO's change, we all know that, but they don't get re-made twice after being live for many years.

SOE didn't so much make changes to the game, as they removed the old game and put in a new one, keeping only the graphics from the old one. In doing so, they proved that they are actually capable of doing something so unheard of to the players, and the "they are stupid" part (in reference to current players, a term I personally don't use) is more about them being willing to continue funding a company that have demonstrated how little they care about the time and effort invested by the players.

They have also lied to the players repeatedly, which just makes it all worse. An example off the top of my head (the lies have been well documented elsewhere, although some are certainly more valid than others) - just a couple of weeks before the NGE went live they sent out the SWG Newsletter which included, among other things, some information about the revamp for the Ranger profession coming in the next patch, and at that point they knew very well that the Ranger would be one of the professions axed with the NGE.

In short; the way the game is after the changes is not really the reason for all the anger, the fact that the changes were made - and the way they were made - is however fundamental. To many people, that becomes extended by association to include the actual changes.

To many people, that becomes extended by association to include the actual changes. Honest to god I understand all that. I understand the reasoning behind the anger. My point is this. The reason I make fun of the people in this forum is the same reason I make fun of KKK members or Neo Nazi. Its because they are extremists. Its impossible to bring up a counter point of view without being called a "SOE sack smoocher (Still funny). Its not that I think people shouldn't be angry, its the mere mention of anything that is possibly contrary to their point of view brings fourth total anger and insults. Its that they think people that don't think the same as them are stupid.

From what Ive seen most of the anger directed towards the pro-nge crowd comes from the arrogant and condescending attitudes as well as lack of proper arguments as they instead opt for flamebait and trolling.

Looking at it from a neutral perspective of all the discussions you've read here has it been the nge haters or the pro-nge crowd who almost always throw the first punch? Who most often responds with well thought out arguments?

Of course the nge haters cant be held completely innocent either as they do often rise to the bait. But in this case I do believe you are at fault for statements such as the one quoted above. It is a gross and insulting overgeneralization which does not contribute to the ongoing debate in any way.

rollo, when i said because youre stupid, it was intended as a follow up to your last post, in which you said somethin about you not being able to think of the word you wanted to call me. It is funny that your feeble vocabulary cannot even begin to fathom or express the irrational and illogical thoughts that form ever so slowly in your primitive brain.

Actually, my feeble vocabulary could not even begin to fathom or express the irrational and illogical hate on these forums expressed by YOUR primitive brains but that ok, I could see why you might make that mistake.

I have seen people with names like "NGEsucks" and "LO@NGEFANS" Yet I have not seen that on the other side of the fence. I have seen people with their entire sigs, quotes and avatar devoted to the hate of the game but haven't seen that from the other side.
