Well, to put things into to perspective a bit how much could it possibly cost CCP to implement a new forum sub-section? Most forum software, it's a matter of minutes...
Perhaps:
- Their forum software is so old and antiquated that it takes a bit more effort to implement a new section. Maybe they need a database guy to fart around with it for a day (tops, likely) to get sub-section IDs and whatnot sorted.
- Maybe there's potentially issues with moderation. Maybe they have some crazy policy that each moderator may only have oversight of 2 or 3 boards and that limit has already been reached. Maybe now they are hesitant to break their own policy or feel they are on the edge of having to hire yet another moderator.
- Maybe they feel that the recent increase in GTC sales by players is something that will soon taper off due to the decreasing isk value of GTCs and they are unwilling to take action on a 'problem' that willl soon resolve itself.
- Perhaps their attitude is, "We just seperated the auction crap and the GTC/Character sales crap not that long ago, and now they want more?"
Who knows?
So why guess? Because CCP isn't talking, maybe?
I could care less about the topic, really. But sometimes it's helpful to have someone who's not motivated by either end of the arguement spectrum (and isn't an "OMG epic failz" forum ****) talk about a topic.
For you see, that is my superpower. I am Roy Batty. Unbiased forum goer. Here to shed the light of logic and empathy on all your little forum troubles.
Anyway, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, GTC and Character Sales spam.
End analysis: It's an obvious problem for people wanting to sell characters. Some of us may not agree with the sales of characters, but that is just clouding this specific issue and hence an unnecessary derailment. CCP allows character sales within their game environment, so it becomes a part of their service. And the quality of their support for whatever small part of their service does reflect on their overall service. They are obviously lacking on this front.
tl;dr
It's a crap situation. CCP should at least say something about it.
But of course now you're just reading my sig... |
