Subject: *Topic -> Caydiem, an observation.. |

<<Note>> I tried to post this last night when it occured but the forum login server was down to me. gj Blizzard..
These events happened last night but I was unable to post up until now.
"This is absolutely not condoned, and any in-game gathering that ruins others' gameplay experience or affects realm performance will be acted upon as necessary by our GM staff. "
Theres alot of angry Hunters out there that feel our pleas are not being addressed.
Heck most of us still don't even know they are being heard.
No offense but your the only one we know of who actually reads one of these posts.
Where are the Dev's in all this turmoil?
with a hurt credibility and an angry mob its quite easy thing to believe that we are being lied to.
As for this Hunter Protest, techincally they are not really doing anything wrong.
Theres nothing in the TOA that prohibates large gatherings. While thier intentions are less then admirable (I disagree with the methods) they are making a clear point and trying to get your attention.
It must be working seeing how you jumped on them for this.
What makes things worse is THIS is probably going to continue until we see results.
Caydiem.. what do you suggest we do?
We've been posting.
We've been trying to give feedback.
We've been VERY patient.
And now we've very frustrated ...
Imagine you invested as much time as we have into these classes only to see them slowing seeping to the bottom of the barrel.
Its not about the money or the lack of enjoyment, its the lack of further enjoyment or the lack of use we have at our higher levels.
Now you've stated that the GM's will deal with those invovled.
Ok...
So your risking losing many customers by temp banning them for trying to spread the word of our plight?
Bad move
This is a very tense situation Caydiem, as much as you want to help change and applease everyone, your company is going to have to realise after these stealth nerfs and dps cuts that we are not going to be naive and believe that the best is yet to come, we've been scorned and we are now sour about it.
As for these protests, I do think they could be done in a more constructive matter
But this is the only surefire way they believe they are getting heard. Afterall, its easy to assume that
your company could care less if 1000 people cancel their accounts when you have over 1.5 million users feeding you.
This could all be mere speculation though. Take it as you will Caydiem, I'm sure you understand how we are
reacting, but not enough to realise what lengths some people will go to just to make a point.
That all set aside... Make a Character on Darkspear and stop being the Dev's Bulletproof armor Cay.

What would I do as a gamer in your position?
I would not insult and flame the only company representative advocating for my class.
I would not organize an event that would ruin others' gameplay.
I would give my feedback wherever possible and do what I could to make sure my voice on the subject was heard, but not in a way that would risk my account either on the forums or in game.
I've been in a very similar situation and I've been just as frustrated as you are. But staging a protest to bring down a realm does not help anything. Harming those who are able to aid your situation does not solve the issue.
The suspensions happened with the Warrior protest and the GMs will do it again if need be. It is not a valid way to get what you want. Please, if you work with me on these issues, though it may take time, I promise I'll be a strong, clear voice for you to the developers regarding your issues. In order to do that, I need to come to them with a good understanding of the issues you face, and constructive explanations and responses are what help that.
(Please note this is NOT a request for more feedback in this thread. It's already been done, I'm aware of this, and I appreciate what you've given me. I'm simply answering the question.)

Q u o t e:
*cough* Cay, if you can make a trip into this forum, could you please spare some time to give us much-needed answers in others? Not trying to be insulting; I'd hate your job right now.
That would require me to have the answers, which, at 9:48PM on a Friday, are probably not forthcoming quickly. As I've said here and elsewhere, I'll be posting a list for you folks to peruse before I take it to the developers and get what answers I can.

I just got into the office, folks. Remember we're located in California. I will post the list today (I do have other duties to take care of as well, so please bear with me on this).
Please note that this list is not answers. It is a list of what you folks feel are the main concerns affecting the class. It doesn't have addition suggestions in it (generally), and it doesn't have some of the lesser complaints listed. I am going to post it to give you folks the weekend and the first part of next week to catch any major concern I missed -- then I will meet with the developers at some point next week to discuss the class and get answers and philosophy behind the issues.
Also, understand that making this list is more than copying and pasting your answers. It is important that I advocate your position while still keeping an understanding of the developers' place in this, and that requires careful wording all around. :) Don't fret, you'll see the list today.
EDIT: By the way, I DID post an update for you folks yesterday on what happened: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-hunter&t=207298&p=1&tmp=1#post207298[ post edited by Caydiem ]
