StormTroopeR999	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:28:00 - [1] I wrote a petition over a 5 weeks ago! But were is the answer? Is there any Gamemaster alive I wouldn¦t call this service in any way! And now i wanted to write another one, but i can¦t because there is only one allowded. This is realy a wast of time! Even because there are so many reasons to write petitions at the moment! Disconnects several times a day. If they cannot handle that many people they should tell them to stay in the station if they don¦t want to loose there ships / drones for no reason!
Turiya Flesharrower Beagle Corp	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:29:00 - [2] Ok, so just stop making petitions of any kind except for stuck or harassment petitions and allow the queue to reduce in size. If you lose a ship, get over it and wait for a fortnight or so to send in a petition. -----
Estelle Matsuko Caldari The Beiatch Corp Inc	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:31:00 - [3] Not happy? email the firm and/or withold you subscription.
Sadayiel Caldari Tropical Killer Bananas	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:31:00 - [4] there is a 5k petition queue to be answered, bepatient as simply as that. Banana's 4tw - Xorus
Niccolado Starwalker Syncore Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:35:00 - [5] You know what the main problem is? People have a tendency to report everything! Little lag? report it! Some CTD's? Report it? etc. ect. etc. Now, think of this. There are 140.000 players in this game, and we have had like 29.000 of these online at the same time. Now, if every single one of these should post a ticket every time the game crashes or lags etc. we are speaking about 29k tickets! Even if 10% of these reports it we speak about 2900 tickets! I am sure we can all agree that CCP can use their money on better things then getting GMs because everyone reports the obvious? It would be great if ppl started to THINK a little before making tickets. I have been playing this game for 9 months now, and I have played EVERY day, at average 4-5 hours a day. Sometimes less, but mostly more. And I have only had need to make 1 ticket in this time. Maybe its luck, i dunno. But I do now for sure many ppl tends to report anything... As I said, using your head is allowed from time to time
StormTroopeR999	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:35:00 - [6] 2 Weeks would be o.k., but giving no answer for 5 weeks is no way of telling the people that this game is its money worth. Sitting 5 weeks on station and waiting for an answer costs 25Ç.
Talen Kross Dragon's Rage Ascendant Frontier	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:35:00 - [7] Ok there is a lot of complaints about GMs and petition wait times. I filled in a petition this morning half an hour before downtime. (Bad clone jump unable to log in) I had a response within 5 minutes. Granted it hasn't been fixed yet, but i'm sure someone is working on it. Also I realise that stuck petitions get pirority, however the fast response does show that GMs are active, and I am sure that none of them goof off all day long. ------------------------- Tuxford: "Besides I've got the nerfbat now, tremble in fear" Eviltwin I: "...or keep em scrambled in a belt while you goto dinner for 15min"
Laythun Euphoria Released Euphoria Unleashed	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:37:00 - [8] they get there in the end. I had mine answered after 5 weeks. Just some patience is all. Chill *See You In Space Cowboy*
Sul Condbax Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:37:00 - [9] People petition too much, that's why you have had to wait five weeks. Get disconnected due to a faulty internet connection? Petition! Lose a ship to "lag" caused by a four year old computer? Petition! Had to wait for two days without an answer from a GM? Petition it again!
Miss Overlord Gallente Garoun Investment Bank	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:37:00 - [10] heres a hint for anyone filling petitions be as detailed as possible simple i lost xxx without listing the system or other circumstances will get u put on the waiting automated queue - if u are able to be detailed then the devs are able to quickly determine where the problems are and get back if its all mumbled up and not able to be understood you will get ignored
Bazman Caldari The Establishment Establishment	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:38:00 - [11] Stop sending reimburstment petitions ffs, unless they are totally and utterly required, I bet 99% of the petitions are from people who lost their Raven while running level 4 missions in Jita on a patch day. On the plus side, my harrassment petition was answered in less than 5 minutes. rawr ----- Sig removed, maximum allowed image dimensions are 400x120 and maximum allowed size is 24,000 bytes.

Bill Shankly	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:39:00 - [12] Disconnects several times a day is not a reason to write a petition, the que is so long because of people like you clogging up the system for no reason whatsoever.
Caleb Paine Infinite Technologies	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:41:00 - [13] As I stated before, CCP should stop allowing people to petition for ship reimbursements or when they get scammed. For some reason people will petition the stupidest things. Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back.
Major Stormer Caldari Demon Womb Xelas Alliance	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:42:00 - [14] My petitions....hmm 1) first..lost ore due to ore refine bug. got it back. 2) lost ship due to NPC gatecamp and i dropped connection and ship didnt warp out and it disengaged all mods. got ship back within the hour. 3)...oh there isnt one. Ive lost tons of ships, mods etc, some i well could have gotten back (e.g. ferox lost in lvl 3 mission when warp scrambled). but hey, thats not how you play......thats just dull. -------------------------- 0.01 ISK to the first mod that writes in my sig! :D Pay cash value in cookies plskthx - Immy Oh man thats gonna be a lot of cookies.

PuhBaer	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:45:00 - [15] I am sure, that there are many many petitions wrote every day, but waiting over 5 weeks for an simple yes or no is too much! Even if i think of 2 petitions i wrote over 4 month ago, never getting an answer. If they made the server work propper there wouldn¦t be a reason writing petitions! Ever thought of this?

Kuolematon Space Perverts and Forum Warriors United	Posted - 2006.09.04 11:51:00 - [17] I petitioned this morning and got reply in 4 hours and my scammed ISK's returned. A++ service! Cheers CCP! Unnerf Amarr! "Just because you can utterly ruin another player's game doesn't mean that you must."

StormTroopeR999	Posted - 2006.09.04 12:00:00 - [19] I am only angry about this bad service. For all the things i lost by disconnets i could have bought 2-3 100day GTCs. And it is getting worse and worse... good idea to make the people copy all there BMs by telling them that soon it will only be possible to copy 5 at a time. That is a nice way to get 10000 petitions more!

Dont like colors? I agree, its stupid and hard to read Now kids, dont petition like there is no tomorrow. If you use it wisely your petitions will be answered faster.

Riho Mercenary Forces	Posted - 2006.09.04 12:27:00 - [21] well, when ppl stop writing peditions about stupid stuff... ofc it will be put on que. i would do it myself if i was a gm reading them.... waaaaaaaaaa i lost my ship in a lvl4 mission....waaaaa or im getting lag... fix it etc i cant even think how meny of those u get per day :P
Krist Valentine Amarr Bad Omen Syndicate	Posted - 2006.09.04 12:41:00 - [22] I have to disagree here. It may not be the fastest ever, but they get some of the requests done. I've played multiple MMO's in the past, this is the only one I've stuck with, and at least part of that is due to the fact that in my opinion, it's customer support owns any other. Trust me. Contact Blizzard Europe and see if anything happens. - - - - - Krist Valentine > Anti Pirate [An-tee-py-rut] - NOUN - Miner who got podded and trained for a Ferox.

Heikki Gallente Wreckless Abandon	Posted - 2006.09.04 13:19:00 - [24] Guess should write a petition and make a suggestion to solve the queues: 1) CCP shall publish clear petition guidelines (like when you are allowed to get reimbursement) 2) Writing a petion incurs a hefty cost; if the petition is deemed valid, the cost is reimbursed. 3) The cost should be something that affects everyone, like 'You lose 24 hours of training time for each improper petition you submit' Pros: + We don't have to pay the costs of 'stupid users' + People will think a moment before filing a petition + More clearly filled petitions + Reduced queues + Certain types will get mad and quit Cons: - Uhm..lot of initial complaints -Lasse
Flax Volcanus Tea And Sympathy Ltd. Liability	Posted - 2006.09.04 13:44:00 - [25] Just wanted to give credit where it's due: I lost a big chunk of standing the other night when the server crashed and I could not finish a mission in time. Even with the huge backlog in petitions, I submitted one, not really expecting it to be answered. Within 5 hours I had my standings back. WTG GM Huggin! Yeah, the backlog sucks, but I honestly believe that CCP is doing the best it can. And, TBH, at this point I'd rather have them spend their staffing dollars on devs and Q/A.

If they cannot handle that many people they should tell them to stay in the station if they don¦t want to loose there ships / drones for no reason! No offense here, but I think its more accurate to say answering petitions are a waste of time. At least 90% of all petitions in game involve someone doing something stupip, loosing a ship and then claiming it was either an exploit or a bug that caused the death because CCP has foolishly created a false sense of hope to players by actually giving people ISK when they loose ships in the past. What CCP needs to do is create a strict absolutly no refunds policy. If you loose something in game wether to a bug, an exploit or anything else, you have to chalk it off as bad luck. This would eliminate 90% of the petitions and allow CCP to focus on people with real problems.
