Rosenthm was right on the money. They have never really cared about us. They have [b:67daa3f174]ALWAYS[/b:67daa3f174] shown a tendancy to push right on and do what they want to do. Asking our opinion on the latest kind of game we wanted, and then going right on out there and releasing the 80's game mystery card when it clearly wasn't leading our little voting favorite concept is one example. They ask us just to say they did, and then go right on and do something else. - The customer service link from within the game is a joke, I [b:67daa3f174]NEVER[/b:67daa3f174] get an answer from trying that. The only way to get attention is a direct e-mail to Bernie or Larry, or even straight to Barmack. Their only recent example of actually trying to do the right thing was incorporating beta testers, MOSTLY for the salary and pricing structure. This showed that they don't have a clue on statistical odds of a strat card in relation to it's price. Look at all the bargains in ATG1 and the ability to utilize that to great advantage.
But even there, they didn't listen to us on several items. I have never seen someone (Bernie) be so stubborn as to completely dismiss several items that all of the testers felt were so urgently needed instead.
I personally had an e-mail conversation with Larry that said they would put the right fixes in place so that we would NOT be going backwards in functionality when the cutover was made. Sorry folks, it didn't get done.
Oh and Rosenthm, from my point of view, there are FEWER emoticons available to me on this board, as I [b:67daa3f174]USED[/b:67daa3f174] to be able to utilize a whole array of emoticons that I collected and were just waiting on a web server to embed into the message. - Can't do that no more as we cannot link to external pics. So, you may have gained a few more here, but I lost another 100 that was at my disposal. :twisted:
MM :cry:
