What do you think GMs do with our insults?

Hey all!

For the record: Im not talking about everyone in the forums. Im talking about a part of the community.

We may all agree that alot of us complain about.. well alot. Bugs, sins, aps, a greedy management at PWE, OP classes coming, classes being dead, all these things can be said in one breath.

There even are some people that, instead of the oraclenub way of saying it (*** grdy gm u fail ma class is DEAD bcse u only want moniessss -or something to that extend) providing valid arguments why they think pwi is doing not that great. Most of these arguments go against eithers devs or gms.

The most insulting one is, true or not, that gms and devs are only thinking of money and not about the beauty of their game and their player base.

You cant tell me they dont read that, it has been said so many times, so Im wondering:

(tl;dr)

How do you think GMs and Devs, mentally and in conversation with each other (or maybe their family: "Daddy how was your day at work?"), respond on the fact we call them greedy and careless about the beauty that is (was?) Perfect World.

I am laugh b:laugh you might think the game too much.

The children probably didn't even understand what is their parents / family job especially as a developer. As a GM usually can become a side job . . the children might doesn't even know that their family is a GM. b:chuckle
Maybe they give their children games with high quality and knowledge rather than mmorpg like PW

World is never a fair place. b:bye

best available evidence is that they do much the same thing with insults as they do with bug reports --- ignore them all, insofar as they even notice them.

Rich stay rich while the poor stay poor. There are the occastional people that become stars while there are some rich people that fall hard to the gutter. That is just life.

b:thanks

As for there daily lifes, the gm could be a full time job where they just come home and hang out for a bit before sleeping. To a part time job where they have more time at home. Or can be mainly a home thing where they check info in-game/forums, clean house(?), and well party for the rest of the day.

None of us know and even if I wonder just a bit, I would know that it wouldnt change the way I am living.

Being in a support position myself, I can pretty much say that the PW Devs/Gms are really powerless to do much about the fixes since its the higher management (usually people who would have never played a game in their lifetime) who sanction budgets and resources towards a fix.

So while a Gm/Dev may truely agree with concerns of the playerbase or stuff posted on the forums, they cant do much about it unless higher management gives them the approval. On the other hand, they could also be overloaded to the extent that lower priority stuff (rubberbanding) gets ignored for a long long time.

Management as such always focusses on revenue generating aspects first and then the non-revenue generating aspects.

Classify the stuff in PWI into those 2 categories and you will immediately understand why certain stuff never gets fixed :P.

As for GMs/Devs, they would probably go FML when they get home.

But why wont the GMs show us that they do care but just cant help it?

And what is FML?

You do bring up a good point, they could confirm that they may or may not be fix certian game errors. ex. rubberbanding.

they wont, because noone sane will complain about company, he work for, in public?

but dont worry, usually, they dont take too personally, what people write; tho they know that most -even if exaggerated- is true.
