I'm very excited to see which toadies and yes-men get the honor or being on the council!


Second post was
Quote:
I'm SUPER excited that you deleted my post in this thread. It was no worse than what's been posted already.


I expect this post to disappear also
Quote:
Ha.


If you're going to delete the criticism posts in the genesis thread for your council, then you've absolutely set the tone for what you expect from this council: People to agree with what you've already decided. Dissenters and those who disagree need not apply.

I'm too Vaulty for them. Plus I'm a dirty exploiter, didn't you get the memo? They even put in a ticket while they were cleaning me out simply titled "Exploit". I guess to keep track of me?

I don't think I need to give my opinion on the council - that will depend entirely on who Turbine picks to be on the council.

I will say that I *LOVE* the new adventure/raid tabs.  LOVE IT!

This could go one of two ways:

get a balance of yes men/disgruntled customers/people who just like playing the game, and get a balance of opinions on how to fix the game

or

Get too many yes men, and have this idea become entirely ineffectual.



Try to get option 1 going maj Wink

as long as this is a pre-req:

Be in good standing, with no significant violations of Turbine’s Terms of Service, End User License Agreement or Community Guidelines. Accounts must remain free of said violations during the period of service.

You know this will be useless, a good cross section would include yes-men, bad boiz and all the shit in between.

Edit - the second part of the requirement I can be forced to agree with (don't h4x while participating) but the first part is retarded.

If nominated, I will not run.
If elected, I will not serve.



I saw what kind of lick-spittle shenanigans go down on Mournlands first hand. I have zero interest in being a part of it's second iteration.

Eve CSM members are democratically elected by players.

https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/What_is_the_CSM

Anything less than that and I have to agree with rest: Mournlands 2.0.

I'd even log into the forums for the first time since the revamp to vote for Backley (Item,R) from Orien, OldCoaly, at least one permadeath guild officer/leader (I spent a few months in Sublime, was a nice group), and then solid, long time players like Memnir, Vanshilar, rest, and Hordo.

No newbs, but it needs a mix of people who play with a broad cross-section of players, and not just people who exclusively group with other end-game powergamers.

edit to add: they need Teh Troll on there too. Seems smarter than the average bear. Flav. Others I respect but forgot.

Note to any Turbine staffers reading this, and one I genuinely hope you share around the office: DDO has become a shit game because y'all have made it a shit game. Once it was great. Now, it's a festering puddle of monkey diarrhea. No matter how you try to justify it, or pat yourselves on the back for doing great jobs... it's a shit game now because of you. Y'all keep on giving the players the middle finger, and you keep expecting us to reward you for the abuse. I've had it with you narcissistic fuckwads and your myopic policies of ineptitude.

Why bother if players don't get the vote? You seriously think Jerry and Amanda's B-Team of hand-selected asskissers is going to save the game?

Amanda unambiguously stated that their (hers and Jerry's) role is to act as a buffer between the angry hordes and the decision makers.


Maj, I don't trust Turbine to be sincere, truthful, transparent, or to treat DDO as though it's an ongoing concern.

I DO trust turbine to be consistent.  Past practice has set my expectations.

Turbine needs to offer full amnesty 1 time for anyone who wants to join the council.

Turbine MUST know that they're most devoted, experienced, and knowledgeable players are the ones most likely to dupe and sploit because they know the game the best.

THESE ARE THE PEOPLE YOU WANT ON A COUNCIL LIKE THIS

You already have Mounrlands for people who behave but are maybe more casual and/or terribad.

Since participation in the Vault is grounds for immediate expulsion from Mournlands, MMF, does this mean your nomination of Rest is a sign this rule won't apply to the PC?  Or did you not think it through?

Actually, the "most devoted, experienced, and knowledgeable players are the ones most likely to dupe and sploit because they know the game the best" demographic would best be befriended by the head of QA (surprise).

The Design phase team isn't looking for manipulative bastards to create new backdoors via feedback. They're looking for people that can communicate an idea without resorting to flaming. Give constructive negative feedback without completely demoralizing their prior efforts.

And they're looking for a Rainbow Coalition of hardcore, casual, typical, the entire gambit...
