Increased GM presence.

no
effectively never, they might drop by once in a blue moon, but dont expect it

One dropped by 5 days ago?​​

There was for a bit an increased activity of GMs on Raging Tide. The 2 GMs that I know of are interactive and friendly....but do have limits as usually when they get on it is to do stuff on the server such as ban players or investigate tickets.

what do you guys want to do with GM? Kill GM character? Run a dungeon with him?

Events; quiz, find a gm/hunt, spawn some junk, throw around some weight in wc to people breaking rules, check for the dozens of illegal bots running around 24/7, activate some random event, preview new mounts/fash/items?

some of us saw the run a dungeon (quicksand) with a GM, that was...painful to watch, please no, ( a stream of a new/unreleased content might be semi interesting, only semi interesting since none of the pwe staff has shown any real knowledge of the game/game mechanics)

What do we want to do a gm? Nothing, we just want them to do their dam job.

This. All of it. This is what GMs did back in 2008-2010. It was rather pleasant. It kept the trolls at bay and kept the community excited about the direction the game was going.

That's like your boss, mintsummer, not being around. After awhile, although it may have seemed like a great thing at the time, it starts to weigh heavy on your head. Makes you worry, about your job, about the companies future. No one likes absence from the higher ups, it never ends up pretty.

Sadly hoping for increased gm activity/interaction with players is probably pointless. It was posted in a thread once ( i have no clue how to find it now in these forums) that pwe's business model (and it was an actual statement for pwe's business plan by pwe that a player found online) is for a milk and move on type. They only expect a 5 year run for most games they publish and then that's it, shut it down or ignore it and slowly let it rot. When pwi was fresh in 2008-2012 it was getting most of the attention by pwe. But this cow has been milked and now she's old and tired. The new prize winning cow is neverwinter. Farmer's Always pay the most attention to and take best care of their prize winning cow that produces the most milk of course until a new better cow (whichever big title they publish next) comes along. When that happens then support for neverwinter will dissapear as well and it will be left to the same fate as pwi.

Might as well mention that people still spend alot of money on pwi and it still turns pwe a profit (if not it would'nt be running) but they found out people will keep spending on it even if they ignore the game and it's players almost completely. So they figure why waste money and man power on pwi when players are still spending regardless of the fact pwe is neglecting it.

Does anyone remember that we had a GM called Strumslinger or something like that who did a livestream TT run and then vanished?

I miss when Ironman and spoons used to come around drop random stuff, play beat the GM for drops, randomly drop people on World Bosses and the midnight server messages were awesome.

So, what's the justification of your GMs absence PWI?

Too few spread out over too much, which coincidentally seems the mantra of many companies now public or private.
