I have a question, if it is not secret stuff.

I noticed some games have top priority to answer as quick as possible newly open ticket and if issue persist they put it into slow queue where it hangs till its time comes. So optically for 90% of issues they get very quick response, but once it gets complicated, it can take days.

Others games just process tickets all same as they come.

What system is used in EVE?


We use both. We screen for time sensitive issues, issues from trials (as their account shuts down in mere days and thus cannot wait) and certain issues that we know we can handle in mere seconds. Those we get to quickly (usually within 15 minutes or so). Then we screen for billing issues and they are handled in a separate billing queue, which has a much higher response rate than most other queues (we are dealing with other people's real life money after all). The rest is simply sorted by specialty and our GMs will get to those whenever they can.

got 2 in que, client crash resulted in session dump coruption... not worried about the time to respond now, as I'll have the patches reinstalled by the time anyone digs through the pile tomorrow.

Edit: nvermind appears to be a server side corruption... and it affects all my accounts with a fresh install and from any computer... DOH, you need more customer support reps... this sucks

Statistics for 2010

These are still pretty accurate.

What is the average number of petitions closed because you wanted to avoid answering it completely?

Serious question.

Are you sure? I mean, really sure? Because I can prove you wrong.

Edit: A better way to phrase that would be: What is the average number of petitions that timed out because the player did not respond to something along the lines of "Please wait while we make a decision"?

It should be zero, but mistakes can be made. Do note that after a GM responds a petition will automatically close within 7 days if a player does not respond. However, if the GM asks a player to wait on GM action, the petition can be flagged by us to not time out. If that happens anyway the GM in question made a mistake (GMs are human, after all), but this should be the exception. This is never done on purpose.

Interesting, as no-one responded to mine once I proved conclusively that the CCP person in question was 100% wrong.

Were you rude in the process?

Have you done something previously to make them not like you?

It may have been closed for reasons other than they didn't have an answer.

+1 to "Are you sure? I mean, really sure? Because I can prove you wrong."

I have an open petition. It was discussed with GM and everything was fine. But when everything was clear and we agreed with reimbursement. He just disappeared. And there is no answer to my petition any more within 1 MONTH!!! OMG!!! 1 MONTH with no response and no reimbursement. Is it really what i am paying for?

You haven't filed a petition for a long time. There are definitely no open petitions nor were any closed recently regarding you or your alts.

i can provide you with link. It was opened using the form here https://support.eveonline.com/Pages/Petitions/CreatePetition.aspx
And the petition is still opened.

So it is not associated with my alts but it is associated with the email which i use for eve. I can send you the petition url in private message if you want. I am not able to post the petition url here because it is not secured with a password.

Edit: actually i have just sent you the url. pls check your email.

Just one concern with the petition (and Billing) system. (this does relate to Support Ticket Queue and management, and this thread seemed the most relevant place to post it)

I just tried to sign up for the power of 2 deal, and for some reason the payment failed (it definitely wasn't insufficient funds), but your system still created the new account and immediately disabled it. I wasn't given the opportunity to retry my payment or recheck my payment information after the payment failure and before the account was created, and since it was created I cannot use the account to attempt the Power of 2 signup over again.

So I submitted a petition to try and fix this problem and the petition was filed and I was given a number. However, since this new account that was created has no characters on it since I was never given the chance to create one, I am unable to view the status of my petition to ensure, at the minimum, it was filed correctly.

Maybe what happened can be considered falling through the cracks in the system, but if someone has submitted a petition, there should be some way to view it that's not dependent on having a character attached to it. There isn't as far as I can see.

And as far as Billing, while I understand CCP is swamped with petitions and need to handle those on a first come first serve, I'm pretty disappointed that at the minimum there isn't a Online Agent who can handle specific types of Billing issues like the one I'm having. I may have to wait days without knowing for sure whether a charge will be attempted again on my card for something that could have been easily cleared up in minutes by chatting with a specialized agent that deals only in those types of issues.

At the minimum, if someone is allowed to create a petition then they should be allowed to track it, even if its not attached to a character, like in my case.

Same problem - open petition, attached to an email address rather than an account, and no answer for >14 days. Disappointing really considering how fast the CS used to be.

Ill bet hes the guy yelling at the bar tender for a drink every 30 seconds and keeps wondering why the glass never seems to get filled all the way up. Like the guy right next to him who keeps his ******* mouth shut and waits his turn I've never had to wait more than 24 hours for a response now granted some of those responses were auto pilot copy paste wastes of my time, but at least they were fast enough for me to resubmit the petition and get a real answer within 48 hours of the original ticket.

Hey, that's nothing. My company hires out it's helpdesk to locations that have annual flooding. Somehow, the managers get confused when everyone's late or absent around the same time every year...
