    Afraid PW's CSR is very lacking. It takes weeks or even months to get a response. :(

    It's one major reason why I'm never going to play another Perfect World game, after I'm done playing STO.

    You know, they can't help you here. Go to the official PW support forums - you're most likely to get an answer there.

    And lighten up, god.

    Look up the concept of reverse psychology on Wikipedia. It might help you understand the OP.

    Reverse psychology isn't particularly effective on anything above a single-celled organism. Or an eight year old.

    (Oh, and that wasn't reverse psychology.)

    Where might that be? The only support forum I can find on the forum menu is the peer to peer one, which isn't needed.
    And lighten up, god.

    That was the light version. Considering they took a month to NOT solve the issue, then when I solved it took another month to DO NOTHING about the issue, I'd say it was pretty light.

    Serious question does STO have any GM's that help people who need it in the game? If they do have some do those GM's actualy do their job? Or just sit in the breakroom eating donuts and drinking coffee?

    I have never seen an MMO with 0 GM's or such bad GM support as this, It is shamefull.

    Emailing a GM ticket reply is not a GM. Thats customer support outside of the game.

    Nerf is OP, plz nerf
    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    I saw a dev say to submit a ticket if there was an issue in the foundry that related to glitches, bugs, errors, ETC. Submitted a ticket and then custom service says they don't do the foundry. They also said they only solved problems related to gameplay and not things that tell people how to play. What??

    My issue had nothing to do with knowing how to play a game..

    I will no longer spend money or even play this game because my support tickets are never resolved. When I buy something, I should get it. When the game takes my stuff by a glitch, I should get it back. No resolution, no money.

    Posting this here in this thread because the forum won't let me start new threads (even though I'm a LIFETIME subscriber for STO) ...

    I am a lifetime member for STO (since release), however, I have not played STO for some time, Recently, when I logged into the official STO forums, the website said that it detected other Perfect World accounts also attached to my email address and asked me if I would like to link those accounts. I selected YES and now when I log in to the STO website, instead of seeing my account with lifetime membership, I see the account I've been using to play neverwinter, which I assume is what's meant to happen once accounts are linked, HOWEVER, my lifetime STO membership is gone! When logging into the game, all my characters are gone, and my lifetime sub is not recognised.

    I've already lodged a support ticked which was responded to a few days later with a suggested fix that did not work. I responded by updating the ticket and saying that the so called 'fix' didn't work. Since then (over a week ago), I've heard literally nothing back from the support staff .. not even a "we're working on it" etc...

    I paid for a LIFETIME sub. Can someone official please respond here?!? I'd like this fixed so I can play STO. If you can't be bothered to respond to my ticket (even to say it's being looked into) perhaps I should be asking for my money back?

    When PWE bans accounts (that's STO ,Neverwinter ,Champions Online ....all 3 at the same time without playing them) can we at least get a mail or something to know WTF happened?

    Still waiting for the mail with the reason why my account (all cryptic games) was banned.Hope it will be before pwe garbage goes extinct.

    Is there any way to get an answer when you mail support?

    they banned my account (the one got stolen when their cheap database got TRIBBLE in 2010) in all games ,no mail ,warn or anything ....that's almost 3 days now and I have no idea why the heck they did it other than "because I can" .I even PMed Branflakes and got no response so it seems no one gives a shet about anything in this indi company.

    PM'ing Cryptic/PWE employees will get you nowhere... They are told to not to respond to them...

    you want to go here

    https://support.perfectworld.com/app/ask_login/iss/ban/session/L3RpbWUvMTM3ODc0NTQzNC9zaWQvQ1hEblpVemw%3D

    Explain your situation, and provide whatever info they ask from you, and you should be good to go.
    Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
    Let me put the rumors to rest: it's definitely still the C-Store (Cryptic Store) It just takes ZEN.

    did that and got no response.Even if lets say they don't want or don't have time you'd think they would mail you when they ban your account ...I mean an auto mail .

    did you know that you cant ask for support for your account using other mail than the mail used for that account.It says they wont respond.Thats cool because I cant contact them with the banned account.

    Not trying to be mean but they told us that they don't always notify us when they decide to ban an account in the trams of service we agree to every time we log in.

    Be that as it may I sincerely hope you get this resolved quickly in your favor.

    For the same reason I can sign that thing 5000 times just to TRIBBLE with pwe FREE to play games or contact few game reviewers to sell a good story about the new game called neverwinter and the banned account.

    You see its easy to TRIBBLE with someone's account (the time invested in it for me is worth more than c store items ...I had almost all c store stuffs bought plus all lockbox ships on multiple toons) but its even more easy to TRIBBLE with free to play games when you have nothing to loose buff that with TRIBBLE up made by the pwe (its not cryptic;s fault here)
    It also doesn't help to PM individual employees on a weekend and expect an answer when they don't work on weekends.

    wrong .Anazonda was right and I got the answer to that after I made this thread via PM.Cryptic is not responsable for PWE TRIBBLE ups.

    It was never "live" :rolleyes:

    However, a little courtesy and good manners might get you somewhere better with your response :P

    how you know how and what I wrote in the support mails?

    No, I am not wrong. You stated in your first post that the problem has been going on for three days. Those days included Saturday and Sunday. The Weekend. Furthermore you never stated when during those three days that you PM'd Branflakes, but it occurred before you posted here so it's more likely than not it was sent over the weekend, otherwise you'd have complained that you'd been ignored since Friday.

    If I came to the wrong conclusion as to when you PM'd Branflakes it is because you weren't clear in your statements.

    You made your post today at here at 8:32 A.M. and got the response to your email today. Monday. Mondays are not part of the weekend. You got your response after the weekend ended.

    once again wrong.If you ban someone in a weekend you clearly work in that weekend .You cant work to ban but not talk...you cant do one without the other ...if they can it means pwe games needs to be avoided like the plague .If you cant tell why you did something then you don't do it...that is everything works everywhere ...this is like the twilight zone *facepalm*

    For the last 5 days, I have been having an in game issue with the Dilithium Exchange. I submited a request to change out 75,000 dilithium of mine to gain 600 zen. Ever since that request happened, my transaction got stuck. I can not cancel out the transaction nor will it go through. I since then have contacted Customer service about this, 5 days later I get a response. The response was VERY frustrating. It simply read that I am experiencing an in game issue (which to that I already knew) and that either the system maintenance would correct it or I would have to submit a bug report to the QA team.

    I do not understand why someone cant just send a request to someone with the physical capability to go into the system "off the back end", cancel out my request and simply give me back my dilithium? Why do I have to wait for and hope that the regularly scheduled system maintenance will correct it for me or wait for someone in the QA department to fix it. Especially when there are already almost 2 million tickets submitted so far and I seriously doubt that my issue will be tended to in a timely manor. I make this post titled "Useless Customer Support" for a reason. I have been playing this game since 2011. Though I enjoy playing it, and will continue to play it, the Customer Service department is totally useless

    I agree, Perfect World's CSR is anything close to "perfect". When Cryptic had their own CSR, it took days to resolve an issue, but now it literally takes months to resolve (not joking). And most of the time you just get a cut and paste answer or get a rejection saying they can't do anything (like reimbursements). :(

    Be wonderful if PW would compartmentalize their CSR back into the individual games, so issues are resolved faster. But as it is now.......it's the worst CSR I ever experienced in any MMO I've ever played in the past 15 years. And yes, worse than Sony's.

    Months? My last ticket took 9 days to get answered and resolved. I certainly doubt they answered that quickly just because they love me best. :)
    STO is about my Liberated Borg Federation Captain with his Breen 1st Officer, Jem'Hadar Tactical Officer, Liberated Borg Engineering Officer, Android Ops Officer, Photonic Science Officer, Gorn Science Officer, and Reman Medical Officer jumping into their Jem'Hadar Carrier and flying off to do missions for the new Romulan Empire. But for some players allowing a T5 Connie to be used breaks the canon in the game.

    Its getting to the point where you cant rely on PWE's customer service. Every time I have submitted an issue, all I get back from them is a basic "its your fault" reply and nothing more. When the Legacy of Romulus update came out, I was having massive issues with keeping New Rom loaded. It would always crash. I would report bugs, try to load my character in a different location, even try to leave. I had no choice but to leave my toon there for almost a full month. Then they fixed the bug and I was able to finish a mission that I was working on there and leave that area.

    I had to force PWE to send an issue to a higher up support agent just to attempt to correct my issue off a different ticket. I know that there is only so much that a CSR can do, but come on. I could probably do a better job then some of these people. And it is not ALWAYS the customers fault when someone is dealing with a bug in the system.

    I had similar issue before. I had to wait for a maintenance cycle to clear it. try again after tomorrows and it will probably be fine.

    I hate the fact that I have to WAIT for them like that. You would think that when you contact Customer Service, they should correct the problem when you mention it to them about it

    I posted the same problems I had for months. and never got a answer. I had to drop a troll trap just to try and get results. And that seemed to work over all. Should not have to do that just to get a answer.

    Why is it that customer support in SWTOR is about 9001x better than Star trek online? If I submit a ticket in swtor I can expect a reply in 3 days atmost and usually one day and they'll explain when I could expect a fix if it can't be done immediately but in STO I'm lucky if I get a reply to a ticket in 3 months let alone 1week and usually its just an automated response or something saying that we don't care.

    I submitted a ticket and posted in the bug section that even though I purchased the miner's costume it didn't fully unlock for me and will probably never know if it'll get fixed for several months. In addition in SWTOR sometimes a real person from customer support will contact you in game to converse about exactly what the issue is that you're having.
