It is perfectly reasonable to expect these folks to be fair and see both sides of the issue and be excellent advocates for both sides. I'm sure CCP reognizes the honor that exists among them and will receive their messages with all due respect.
AAAAHHHHHH AHAHAHA - GUFFAW HOOOHHAAAAHHHAHAHAHA ahem.... (stands back up and dusts off the suit)
All due respect in this instance means CCP is laughing their asses off, too!! These mental deficients look at the issue as though it was a football field and believe - they are so deluded, that they truly believe they are standing on the 50 yard line - the exact middle of the issue, the top of the bell curve... The reality is they are so far down past the endzone, that they are really in the parking lot. In statistical terms, they are what is known as outliers - points of data on the standard bell curve that are so extreme, they are just a few dots way over on one side, just barely on the sheet of paper. They are as far away from the central view of the issue as it is possible to be.
Listen to the recording? I hope I managed to load the wrong recording. I tried, but the convo is banal, so lurid, so profanity laden, so full of unfounded conjhecture, so full of wolf tickets - it is ridiculous. I'd like to think they are sincere, but I have no evidence of it from past behaviors or current events. I can't imagine they have the collective sense to have entered into a conspiracy to produce this silly recording so they could "scam" the world into thinking they are sincere to just to give themselves another vial of tears. I think they are just all huffed up with their false bravado and inapprppriate sense of importance and think may actually be taken seriously.
I think CCP can count and when they are looking at projected losses on their tally sheet, they will be glad to see these guys go so they can have a better chance of retaining the players they have spent so much money to lure into their first paid monthly sub. I do not know the number, but I can tell you the management at CCP has it figured down to the penny just how much money is spent on advertising, trial account expenses, discounts and specials just to get the average new player to plop down their first monthly sub fee. They can then look at the number of players who leave the game after one, two, maybe six months of paid sub time and know if one player fills out the "I'm quitting because" questionnaire with griefing as the reason, that they can be statistically sure how many others left for the same reason and with enough disgust to not bother filling out the questionnaire. That is all part of basic market analysis. I'll bet Hilmar, CCP's CEO, can even recite the number of lost potential players which can be attributed to each different reason given on the few exit questionnaires that are completed by the friend's of potential players who left unhappy. This is not rocket science, this is just basic market research. No one can can seriously think CCP is relying on the CSM to provide all that data. If they were, CCP would not be asking those who close an account to complete a customer satisfaction questionnaire.
Oh, they are partying at the top of the world right now and all buddy-buddy, but then it will be back to business - the really serious business of internet space ships. The world of profit and loss. The hard look at what brings in and keeps customers happy and what drives them away angry, will be back at the front of everyone's mind. And crappy recordings will be just that - crappy. |
