Nanatoa 420	Posted - 2013.11.06 18:22:00 - [1] - Quote I filed a petition a month ago (Oct 8th) and have yet to receive a response. The matter I petitioned isn't something GMs will see every day, so I figured it might take a bit longer to answer than a copy&paste mission reset answer (for example), but more than 4 weeks is pushing my patience a bit. The only previous petition I ever filed was answered within a day. At some point CCP has moved the petition from the "Reimbursement" category to the "Other" category (the desired answer to my petition will involve the undoing of several ingame transactions, that's why I thought "Reimbursement" would be the correct category). But surely 4 weeks is long enough for it to work it's way through two queues? (Assuming a move places the petition at the back of the new queue.) Is there any way of getting an indication of when the petition will be answered, short of filing another petition?

Octoven Phoenix Productions Headshot Gaming 214	Posted - 2013.11.06 19:27:00 - [3] - Quote This is an area of the game that has pretty much been rather embarrassing. I have played other games cough cough wow. I must admit comparatively between the two. CCP tends to be slow in petition responses the worst part is they reply via the petition system. So you reply to clarify the issue and thus dragging out an issue for months. Blizzard on the other hand has in the past responded to my petition next day and in some cases same day. I have never had one go beyond 2 days with them. They also make attempts to contact me ingame via chat channel rather than just responding like a ******* email. Hopefully CCP customer support can learn from that and actually start putting more resources into this area. Refine it, and make attempts to chat in game with players who are online.

Not even considering blizzard customer support which is outstanding, you can just call them..

Can't comment on switching it to "Other" (they should have said something about it in a response) -- though it's likely because "reimbursement" is generally for ship loss and stuff ... if you're looking to reverse transactions between yourself and another player, well ... they might even be going so far as gearing up the RMT killers ...
Na Und Galactronics 89	Posted - 2013.11.06 19:42:00 - [6] - Quote You should probably consider filing a petition to CCP with your question.

I would recommend petitioning before you petition the original petition to find out how long the wait is.

The wait time doesn't have to be shortened. Even an estimate of how long it wil take would be better than this indefinite 'some time in the future'. (Of course it will be some time in the future, because it won't be in the past.)

Though the other side of the transactions does involve a corporation which was recently forced to change its policies, I don't think they've ever been punished for involvement in RMT.

Did you buy something in Jita from a merchant with a no refund policy? I was bait-and-switch scammed in a CCP-endorsed event. Unfortunately, the operators did not prove as trustworthy as you yourself have proven to be, Erotica 1.

Never said they were investigating RMT, but that it's a possibility -- especially since you're trying to get them to reverse transactions.

Rich Uncle PennyBags EVE Online Monopoly 68	Posted - 2013.11.06 22:09:00 - [14] - Quote From the vague description given here, I'm guessing that it's a somer related issue. Given the recent events, I would say that it's going to be a little while before it gets sorted. Doing the wrong thing here could cause the community to flip **** on CCP. I'd say, just have patience. As long as you've done nothing wrong and everything is within EULA/TOS, it'll probably resolve in your favor when they eventually solve the issue.
Eko Fromtv Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 61	Posted - 2013.11.06 22:25:00 - [15] - Quote Depends on the issue. I have had two tickets recently and all were taken care very quickly. One in less than 24h and the other in 2 days time or so. I guess your problem is very complicated. I
Bruce Bayne The Red Circle Inc. 26	Posted - 2013.11.06 23:34:00 - [16] - Quote my fastest response time was under 10 minutes on a petition regarding an exploit. eula violations were also handled under 24h. more complicated matters were take care of under 36 hours. i had never problems with petitions and mostly recieved the answers and help i needed. what did i do? well two things: 1. try to use proper language and spelling... customer service guys are also people you knoooow? so beeing nice helps a lot. 2. describe your problem as precise as possible, but dont use unnecessary words or descibe your feelings, because noone cares that you are "mad" or "sad" etc. follow that guidelines and you will see, that you will recieve answers to petitions in a short period. ohh by the way. on one of the "couch talks" on the last fanfest i believe, there was that senior gm and he said that they have priority queues....like if you are stuck you will get help immediatly. if you cry, curse and are acting like a ****, then your petition will be pushed back in the line, which is understandable.

Lol you think I have international calling to contact Iceland to talk about an issue in game when a GM is fully capable to contact me ingame via chat channel? I don't think its too much to ask to have a GM to at least TRY to send a chat invite. If we do not respond within a reasonable time, then by all means respond via petition system. Personally I would rather a GM chat live with me to resolve the issue in mere minutes opposed to drawing it out for weeks. I believe this in an area CCP can improve upon.

Eh I've never had a problem with the petition service. As for call centers (which I realize you aren't asking for) they'd either cost far too much to be feasible, or be the shittiest call centers imaginable. As for a GM dropping an in game chat, iirc they have done that (or did that) in the past. It's entirely possible that they just don't have enough GMs, in which case they should hire a few more. That being said, there are some obvious problems with in-game chat GMs - some issues involve situations where you can't chat with them. Oh, and as an aside, most of my petitions have been answered very swiftly. Almost always within a day, usually within a few hours. If I'm online when they respond, and I respond with clarification immediately, they normally respond within the next few minutes (which is honestly about as fast as they'd respond in an ingame chat channel).

Even at a modest ROI of 5% this patience is costing me 800M a month. Eko Fromtv wrote: I guess your problem is very complicated. I I guess it is complicated. But a-month-to-even-reply-complicated? That would be really really very complicated. Bruce Bayne wrote: if you cry, curse and are acting like a **, then your petition will be pushed back in the line, which is understandable. I assure you, my petition is polite and well formulated. Zions Child wrote:** EDIT: I think it would be best if they provided an analysis of petition response times. Arguably they already have that information. That would help. At the moment all we can do is just uninformed guessing and hoping.
RAW23 455	Posted - 2013.11.07 11:50:00 - [20] - Quote I suggest that you follow best practice: a) Form a friendship with CCP devs. b) Acquire skype contact details for said devs. c) Bypass petition queues entirely by having a direct route for resolving your queries. Not sure if this premium service is available to all eve players but it is definitely an option for some.

Not sure if this premium service is available to all eve players but it is definitely an option for some. Funny you should mention that. The corporation I was in contact with - which has methods very similar to what you're suggesting in your post - offered to "guide [me] through the process of contacting CCP's community team". What they told me the process was, was basically "file a petition". They are skyping their way through this, while I'm stuck waiting in a petition queue for a month.

I CCP's default action when it comes to The-Corp-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named seems to be to completely ignore it and hope the player(s) will forget.

Artimis Scout Wormhole Cartography 29	Posted - 2013.11.07 16:50:00 - [24] - Quote So you gave your money to an ISK doubler and have petitioned CCP cause they didn't give it back? I thought scamming was part of this game.

I thought scamming was part of this game. Scamming most definately is part of this game. In this case though it involves scamming in a CCP-endorsed event by an organisation described by a CCP employee as "trustworthy and reliable", with that employee also mentioning that if any scam occured "we will react accordingly". So far, no reaction though.
Nanatoa 422	Posted - 2013.11.08 23:34:00 - [27] - Quote Passed the one month mark now. Good news is petitions don't time out after a month with no reply (they do time out if the user does not reply, is there timer on CCP replies?).
