New CCP policy: How do we make the paying customers into beta testers for us? Shut down the main server.
Lower and lower... ________________

You troll. If not us then...who? Who better to run a stress test than the EXPERTS at it? give me a frickin' break.
Bull. I pay to play, not be CCP's helper. When CCP wants me to waste my time on their tests, they can pay me for it. ________________

If you want a better game then you wont mind doing this. If you dont want a better game then GTFO.
I want a better game, that's why I pay. It's not my job to fix the game, my job is to pay my monthly bill. It is CCP's job to do whatever it takes to provide me with the product I pay for.
Edit: By 'better game' I mean 'fix the bugs', I do not mean 'get new barely working content to attract even more lag producers'. ________________

I don't even play at that time, it is during my work hours. But that does not change the fact that shutting down the main server to force people to the test server is as low as CCP has gone so far (and one wonders how lower they will get). Your attempt at an argument would only be valid if the server did not coincidentally need "database maintenance' at the same time as CCP is looking for free beta testers.
And you don't have to read my posts, if you don't like them; ignore them, it's not very hard for any person with at least minimal intellect. It is well known among anyone with brains that 'STFU' is the universal equivalent of 'I don't like what you are saying but I don't have the ability to actually counter it'. ________________

Originally by: Jim McGregor I know some players treat you guys like crap, and I understand if you are sick of some of us.
They are sick of some of us? If as consumers we had the option to acquire this product elsewhere, we would have collectively FIRED these morons a long time ago. I had the day off from work today, I was going to join in the stress test but the instant I saw incompatibility I knew someone had taken too many bong hits, I went outside and stacked firewood instead.
*sits squarely in the middle of the two extremes*
I am no fan of CCP, I am just a customer that wants to have fun playing a game. I don't think CCP are morons. I don't think they are living their lives for the sole purpose of giving us a better game either. They are a business and their aim is to make money. Having a good game and not losing customers is a 'byproduct' of that.
I am sure there are people at CCP working very hard to make things work. But I am also sure there are people pushing for 'bigger and better' (as in bigger customer base, better profits ). I just wish CCP realises they have bitten off more than they can chew and slow down a bit. ________________

Originally by: Jim McGregor Im a major fan of this game. I like the devs a lot. I tell them my opinions while still being considerate of their feelings (at least I try). I really dont see why everybody dont treat them with respect even when you disagree. I really dont.
I think the bolded part indicates why some people have different attitudes than yours. Fans tend to take everything in good faith (i.e. automatically assume what CCP says is the actual truth) while those of us that are just customers and not fans tend to always read 'the bottom line' to everything CCP does and naturally assume we are not being told (all of the) truth. Having said that, I agree that there are limits and that calling people morons or asking for them to be fired is beyond those limits.
It is important to remember that CCP is a fast growing company and not a single person. The devs that post here answer to somebody else and no matter how good their intentons are there are a lot of things that thay do not have control of, including how they allocate their time and what they are allowed to tell us. ________________
