    LOL what a couple of dumbshits.

    I, for one, have an account at the SWG boards...I am just not going to pay them $15 a month to chat with the dregs of the community. Almost everyone that I liked/respected from SWG has completely pulled out now.

    Im sure there are plenty of us here with accounts that we could post on over there...We are just smart enough not to pay SOE for the "pleasure".

    I'm shocked I haven't been permabanned yet.

    I sure stirred up a hornet's nest.  Probably because I hurt the senator's widdle egos last night here.  I guarantee they were reporting the HELL out of my posts there on this subject.

    Did Virrago just state that the senators don't represent the community? lol. Too funny.

    They should just shut down the Official Forums...They are pointless anyway. Leave a Galaxy Trade and a room for each server and cut the rest loose.
    Then they could fire TH, Virrago, and some mods and hire some coding devs.

    My
    opinions do not matter, as im a VET that was cast aside, and never once
    was i offered this position to have a secret forum with direct
    interaction with the DEVS.

    My opinion was tossed out when the NGE hit unannounced, and with out warning.

    My statement is completely true.

    "But
    in the public eye you do represent SOE in this capacity. You represent
    them because you are volunteers, your attitudes, manners or lack there

    By the very nature of this thread it is true, the PEOPLE are asking for them to be dissolved and there titles striped.

    And
    you your self have stated they Do not represent the players, or for
    that mater have any other responsibility to anyone or anything, yet
    they are given the grace of the developers by getting special titles
    and with them, accesses to special forums in with they have the ability
    to have more direct contact with the developers ...this by itself makes
    them in direct influence over the development of the game.

    Well at least we now know they serve us no purpose at all and never did other then to say what SOE wanted and not what we wanted and maybe post some faqs time to time.

    I like seeing Virr say this, at least now you can tell any GS to more or less go spit.

    You gotta love though the idea that we thought they represented us, they never did as we can see and now know for sure.

    Sure it's 9 months to late but hey, now we add this to the lists of "Ha ha we got ya!"..

    If a HUGE majority of your playerbase says you made a mistake, and please, PLEASE, undo it, why is it best to not listen to them? - too late for that now so it will never go back to the way it was.

    Guess they need to update the GS description in the Weekly report in light of  Virago's responses.

    Who are the Senators and what do they do?


    The Galactic Senators are Star Wars Galaxies players that have volunteered to help represent the players of Star Wars Galaxies.  They also help the Sony Online Entertainment Development, Community and Customer Service team if they need assistance.


    Galactic Senators have access to two Private forums. Galactic Senate which is used to discuss current isues and Calculating the Jump to Hyperspace which deals with concept ideas.


    Many Senators carried on their voluntary role from their terms as profession "Correspondents", a program that was disbanded with in publish 25.  New Senators have also been appointed after publish 25 by Thunderheart.


    Galactic Senators specialise in various different areas of the game and between them they hold extensive knowledge of Star Wars Galaxies. 


    If you have an issue with the game and are not sure where to turn, chances are a Galactic Senator can help you, or at least point you in the right direction.


    You can use the Senator Tracker to view posts written by the Galactic Senators.

    The

    ahhhhhh,
    but see, i tried that after the NGE hit. So i know that can't be the
    real reason. My posts were removed, deleted and shuffled away simply
    because they didn’t agree with the development of the time.

    So,
    let me get this right. People that do not like the development
    direction are labeled as children (may I add the player base you were
    going for, by your own admissions) and those that agreed are reworded

    I understand now.

    You know I am glad after reading this again that MMORPG is not kissing thier ass or muffling us.

    Saying "Fuck Virrago" does kinda make me feel better and to be able to do it is kind of nice actually.

    I wish these people would have a real interview without (Pre-approved) questions or some crap... someone needs to get in there and rip them a new asshole.   BUT... a large enough one for all the world to see what kind of people they are.

    I think it is safe to say that this is not a company people should do business with, not at all.

    On another note Virrago is being an ******* today. What happened, he get word he losing his job alng with all the other devs? Nice way to talk to your paying customers. They sound just as bad as the duck team which will get no support because of it.

    Yeah that makes sense then, there is only about what 15 people like this then?

    Yep.... about par for the NGE.

    Supporting them is like supporting Korea... sure they make some stuff you need but in the end you never know how much damage they can do.

    Why would we? You believe too much into the conspiracy theories...the only thing you truly stirred up was Virrago apparently...and he didn't ban you/vaporize you/send you home in a thousand pieces, close the thread or anything so it was still a discussion (albeit heated).
