Yes I do mean posting on the forums is not enough

Carrying on my earlier post I would like to say that posting on the forums, dev blogs and tweets IS not enough,

Quoting the troll

'As a matter of fact, things posted on the official forums or in official dev blogs do count as "letting everyone know what's going on." Just like posting in the local newspaper counts as "letting everyone know" for several legal action items; they are not forced to use email, internet, text chat, TV news, etc., and in fact just a newspaper announcement is sufficient.

So I'm not sure exactly what you expect. The company posted warnings on their official forums and dev blogs, in locations that have ALWAYS been used for such things. And yes, they are detailed and long posts, your fault for not taking the time to read through.

Post constructively; troll posts will be locked.'

This is the point you are not getting, places that have always been used are not and never have been enough for policy changes that carry bans or affect cash purchases, I'm a gamer, I only come on the forums when i'm too drunk to play, only ever read dev blogs on hi sec mining changes (there never have been any about this toons war-dec profession) and the only person I know who reads tweets is my 13 year old niece.

Most people on the forums don't even have a current account.

THOUSANDS OF PAYING CUSTOMERS ARE LOSING AN ITEM THEY PAID FOR WITHOUT KNOWING ON THE DAY THIS GAME IS EXPECTING NEW PEOPLE TO ARRIVE AND START BUYING THINGS!

if there is a troll it is you, this is a genuine concern, it might be fine in some throwaway Korean or American browser MMO but not in a place some people have invested chunks of their lives.

A warning now and then in the endless emails, even if it is a link saying 'policy and rule changes' isn't much to ask for. All accounts as soon as you try to do anything on your account page now want an email verification, great, send us useful info.


and btw that item was never 'put' on the launcher, I only noticed it when I went to start some accounts and the 'dialogue box' covered the end of the account names with the post for a whole 10 seconds before moving to the next latest topic.

ps I deleted the last 3 lines of that post before posting, line 2 was 'it will be locked for rant'

you cant even get a decent point across here.

Its not that the Dev's have never been hi-sec miners, more that if they ever admitted it they'd be designing new pattern's in the dust as they sweep the car park. Would you employ someone who spends all day mining in hi?

I must admit I find the whole locking of threads, moderation etc. to be the same as companies who delete bad customer feedback or posts on their facebook pages.

Out of date and nothing more than poor customer service. CCP wants more customers a good place to start is their customer service that seems buried in the dark ages.

The CSM gets in the way of CCP communicating properly with the players of this game.

After all we are not just players, we are customers.

Time for the CSM to be disbanded.

There are sentences, paragraphs, lots and lots of commas and even some full stops.

The rest is pure Wenglish and my grammar died after spending 6 months in the US teaching in Quantico 20 years ago, even the teachers come out brainwashed.....

He didn't get sufficient warning that his precious time-code was gonna stop working even though he openly admits he doesn't keep himself properly informed.
