I guess the takeaway for players is: Rate your petitions, especially if the GM didn't help.

Edited by: Liang Nuren on 14/09/2010 17:08:37 GM Lelouch, may I suggest that if someone cancels their account that all petitions filed or answered/closed in the last 2 weeks automatically be flagged for review?

I like this suggestion. Sounds reasonable. But, I do not know what kind of workload this would entail.

Well, something definitely needs to improve. I've issued a lot of bug reports as of late and your team just doesn't seem to get it, not even sure they read things fully.
Example In the last few days I filled 4 bug reports covering 8 separate bugs, granted they are the same bug but they had logs/crashdumps related to 8 separate occurrences of the bug type. You team member canceled 3 of the 4 bug reports and said I had reported the same bug multiple times.
No I didn't report the same bug 8 times, I reported 8 separate occurrences of the bug and 8 separate logserver/crashdumps for each occurance that occured over several hours.
I thought he purpose of providing bug reports was so that CCP could gather as much info as possible on separate occurrences and look for coming factors that cause the bug. Clearly the GM or whoever I dealt with needs some training as he/she doesn't seem to recognize this.
I have 8 more separate incidents of this bug that have occurred in the last 24 hours, should I even bother reporting these or are they going to be just closed out and ignored because one of your team cant be bothered to take the time to see that all the files attached are from 8 separate time stamps and dates, 8 separate occurrences, NOT the same 1 occurrence reported 8 times!!!

How do I opt out of getting those annoying E-Mails I get every time an agent is requireing GM help? I could ofc just tell procmail to handle all E-Mails comming from ccp if you prefere it that way.

Bug Report != Petition, yes I know this but sometimes they go hand in hand. Those 8 separate bugs I reported that got brushed aside were also listed as part of reimbursement petition brought on as a direct result of the 8 separate bug occurrences.

This thing started with Vuk Lau pounding on the table with CSM3 and kinda culminated and, I hope, ended with me in CSM4. Its good to see GM dept adapting to new times and evolving. One of the first signs of maturity is the ability to admit a mistake.
Hopefully this is just a start and there will be many, many more improvements in this dept.
@GMs: Thank for listening, hearing and acting on what was said.

You do realize of course that part of the problem you GMs face is that sometimes parts of the EVE interface are so arcane and badly designed it can take up to 3-4 days to figure out that there IS something that needs to be petitioned?
This can add considerable bad feeling on the part of the customer that GMs are not responding to problems fast enough, since by the time we realize we need GM help it's already 3 days since the problem started...
CEO interface anyone?

I am happy to hear that there is constant review taking place of the procedures that lay the basis for work.
With my experiences however, I've always left with a feeling that the GMs base cases that has a small ounce of complexity in them, totally random and by their own heart. The (l)on(g)-going joke "The logs show nothing" should really be a huge indicator that something is rotten in the state of the GM department.
What I wish you would focus on, is more transparency and logic behind your decisions. I want to follow your thought of process and if I get all the way to a Lead GM with my case, I don't want the same standard reply I got when I spoke to the normal GM and senior GM.
More transparency in the process would not just keep me happy, it would probably also result in a lowering in the mistakes and different judgements made by GMs.

On Sisi many times ive seen a bug but it always got fixed quickly and never made it to tq. That is the bug where shields dont recharge serverside but they appear to be recharging clientside. Basically your passive shield tank ship appears to be functioning correctly... but all of a sudden your ship is taking armor damage and well that lasts for all of a second. Pop goes the weasel.
Well that bug made it's way to TQ. My newly buffed rattlesnake was fit with a passive shield tank. It went poof. I petitioned and they said 'the logs dont show anything' too which I complained. They said 'nothing's going to change and you're not getting it back'
I now rarely login and when the isk runs out. I probably wont be an eve player anymore.
'the logs show nothing' isnt a valid point at all. If a bug occurred to create the issue. Then there's no reason to suggest that your logs are accurate at all.
Did you file a bug report? I have 100% of the time gotten reimbursements when linking a valid bug report.

It would be interesting to see what percentage of petitions received the "logs show nothing" response and the percentage of petitions where the logs did, in fact, show nothing. I'm going to guess that, being human, the GMs likely reimburse/whatever even though the logs don't show anything.
This signature is useless, but it is red.

Quote: To give you some perspective, the team screened 561 petitions (~2% of total) which were submitted in April this year (which was incidentally the first full month reviewed as a part of this project). Out of those petitions, 146 warranted some action on behalf of the team, which translates to roughly ~25% of the reviewed petitions, or in other words, ~0,5% of the total number of petitions submitted that month.
Your wording in this section is rather misleading, I suggest you revise it.

I think this program is very very encouraging, particularly in the area of identifying training needs for the GM staff.
Semi-related Q: Any chance we could see a streamlining of the bug reports system or an increase in communication between the GM staff and the staff that deals with the bugs? ---

I don't think he's saying that they didn't use the ratings in some way, but rather that it wasn't part of a comprehensive review. Ratings and satisfaction scores are often used only to evaluate those doing support and provide trending metrics, not to act as a re-review marker. Based on my experience with various models of customer/tech support, it's fairly unusual to use it in this way.

What's misleading about it? I don't think they'll know what you're talking about if you don't state how. I mean, I don't.
A quick review of the math: 30,000 x 0.02 = 600 (561 is pretty close to that) 600 / 4 = 150 (the 146 reviewed and "~25%" match up as well) 150 / 30,000 = 0.005 (that's 1/2 of a percent, so that matches what was stated as well)

You can add further informations to an already existing bug report. It is really useful as adding to an existing bug report allow you to send multiple logs, pictures and so on related to the bug even when they exceeed the standard attachment size.

One of the most important demands is related to the payments, if there is a problem with payment, your account is canceled or closed and as this made the system does not allow you to send a petition from your account manager, who must to be possible and should be a priority.
People as they can play, you can wait 3 or 4 days to a request, if you can not play, you can not expect either one day. ________________________________________________

30 000 petition per month That's a lot. If you compare it to the roughly 300k subscriber, then it's about 10% of the players who create at least one petition per month.
I think that's a LOT. I still see problem with petition prioritization. Let's see an example: Account hacking.
Account got hacked. Owner petition it. It takes one day to get the first answer from the GM. He ask couple questions. Answer is sent back, then it take an additional day until there is an answer, and the hacked account is suspended.
So the hacker had minimum TWO !! day to sell all the assets from the fellow player.
Personally I think that's to much.
Another problem: Account verification: You only accept the original email address as valid, what was created during the account creation process. However email addresses are not for eternity. You can not expect that a mail address what was originally used stay there forever.
You need to implement processes, how a user can safely change the mail address so, that you accept it as a VALID original mail address.

The 0.5% are misleading. It suggests that all the non-reviewed petitions do not warrant some correction or feedback. However there is nothing to support that hypothesis.
25% of all reviewed petitions warranted an action. One might very well assume that this holds true for all of the roughly 29,400 non-reviewed petitions as well.
*EDIT* To give a very dramatic example: If they chose to review 100 petitions and 99 of them needed a corrective action then this would account for only 0.33% of all filed petitions.
But would you really think that this demonstrates an improvement compared to 146 corrected petitions out of 560 reviewed ones - after all that's 0.5% of all files petitions?

Can we get the ability to rate individual GMáactions within a petition? I've had a few of my more complex issues completely derailed when a new GMádrops in on a petition and copy-pastes something unrelated to the problem due to skim-reading only the latest comment.
