CSR's win again!

[Styan]

They made a mistake, owned up to it, fixed it, and are taking the necessary steps to make sure it doesn't happen again.  That doesn't happen very often these days.  I think a little credit is due, despite the sheer idiocy of the mistake.

at least they didn't act how we expected which would be the I'm a CSR and your not attitude.  I'm happy they fixed it and hopefully we won't get targeted about our name anymore.

What was the faction name in question to begin with?

Oh of course not... Walrus hasn't made any mistakes ever in the last 10mins.

Well I'm quiet glad this means Brewko has someone to answer to, as such, this means he's gets chewed out for NOT paying attention to the rest of the commuity. Let Justice be Done.

Most definitely something from Lord of the Rings, but definitely not Elven. For some reason, it reminds me of Entish...

Sorry Ana, that would be incorrect, but then again as you don't know the real letters, you can't write it down. But those letters are simply encoded, Look up 'Al Bhed Translations' Woot go Square Enix!

Dude, people make mistakes.  The only difference is that the majority of them would be much more satisfied to pass the buck onto someone else than admit they screwed up.  The fact that this whole thing caused SOE to reverse their policy on faction names, in less than 24 hours, is pretty cool.  It shows how much pull the community can have.  I don't think it hurts to find the silver lining with stuff like this.

I just can't bring myself to believe that Walrus is some suit sitting behind an ivory desk, with a cigar in one hand and a glass of scotch in the other, who wakes up in the morning and giggles to himself in the mirror as he thinks up new and devious ways to destroy MxO and its community.

No your right he isn't. He is too dumb to realize what he is and the only reason he reversed anything was because over 20 pages were posted in a matter of what 5 hours? Anybody in that position would do that, duh.

Let's see what else his incompetence has led to:

Fumble a patch deadline by a week, and then I get him to admit that he was two weeks behind schedule, and it was *funny* to him.

Brewko has been the center of many conspiracies time and time again, I don't see Walrus nipping that.

Banning people is a joke to him and his dev team, people who should be banned are banned and then he can't take the crying and unbans them, then he continues to bitch at then for doing shit on the forums

He pretty much trolls the MxO forums all day long, there isn't a second when his name isn't in the online list, must be a work break right.

Every time he posts a Look Glass it is filled with nothing but "damn I wish my vacation was longer" and "how can a short week seem so long" and "Oh goodie I'm going to headquarters to promote MxO" So lets all feel bad for Walrus and the job he is forced to do with only 10 weeks of vacation time.

And then LESIG or whatever it is called is a wreak, with bias events and bias players.

So just because he reversed some bullshit policy ain't a time to call Walrus dad.

[Tbone]

Actually, a majority of the stuff that Walrus says is his fault probably isn't. He's the face of the staff so it is his job to make the apologies. That doesn't mean Walrus is a screw up. That just means they screw up from time to time.

The truth of the matter is at least they cared enough to have a LESIG. SOE made the cuts that screwed the game, and the MxO Staff had the decency to explore alternatives. Of course LESIG isn't perfect, and that's because it's not a LET like we were used to. Our choices are pretty limited - LESIG team that has its problems or no Live Events at all.

Walrus isn't the one with the attitude problem either. Brewko definitely has some issues. I think he's kinda like Psycidelicos if he were a CSR. He'd boss people around because he can and get involved in drama and help his friends and screw over his enemies. All this because he probably was picked on as a kid in RL and he was too scared to be a cop so he gets his power trips online (not to say all cops are power tripping, but some definitely have the complex).

Walrus is usually cleaning up Brewko's mistakes, and while Brewko's superiors took the blame because of the backwards naming policy, they can't take the blame for Brewko's attitude and treatment of players that has been a constant problem since the beginning.

There's only one solution..... *grabs a can of rat poison*
Seriously... I feel sorry for the Wal-myster... Give me 5 mins alone with Brewko and I could make him see "the light"

[Manic Velocity]

No your right he isn't. He is too dumb to realize what he is and the only reason he reversed anything was because over 20 pages were posted in a matter of what 5 hours? Anybody in that position would do that, duh.

The policy was reversed, and the head-hancho CSR of SOE wrote a personal letter of apology to the faction leader.  What more do you want?

Let's see what else his incompetence has led to:

Fumble a patch deadline by a week, and then I get him to admit that he was two weeks behind schedule, and it was *funny* to him.

And yet... somehow... life goes on.  I'd rather a patch come out two weeks late than never at all.

Brewko has been the center of many conspiracies time and time again, I don't see Walrus nipping that.

Agreed.

Banning people is a joke to him and his dev team, people who should be banned are banned and then he can't take the crying and unbans them, then he continues to bitch at then for doing shit on the forums

Agreed again.  But considering the amount of whining this community does, there's a part of me that doesn't blame him.  There must be times when the guy wishes everyone would just grow the fuck up.  Sometimes you give the baby its bottle.

He pretty much trolls the MxO forums all day long, there isn't a second when his name isn't in the online list, must be a work break right.

Makes sense to me.  Considering there's really no other channel for the dev team to gauge community input and response, trolling the forums is probably in his job description.  He probably just leaves a browser window open pointing at the forums while he works on other things.  That seems more realisitic to me than imagining him spending nine hours a day doing nothing but reading a bunch of bad ideas and complaints.

Every time he posts a Look Glass it is filled with nothing but "damn I wish my vacation was longer" and "how can a short week seem so long" and "Oh goodie I'm going to headquarters to promote MxO" So lets all feel bad for Walrus and the job he is forced to do with only 10 weeks of vacation time.

Everyone wishes their vacations were longer.  Maybe Walrus is just more vocal about it.  And business trips don't count.  Those are usually more intensive than sitting in a cubicle all day.  He may get 10 weeks, but he doesn't get to take it all at once.  I don't think he's asking for pity.  He's just being personable by commenting on something everyone can relate to.

And then LESIG or whatever it is called is a wreak, with bias events and bias players.

Agreed yet again.  However, not Walrus' department.

So just because he reversed some bullshit policy ain't a time to call Walrus dad.

In the case of the Tetragramma-whosa-whatsit, Walrus did the right thing.  That's all I'm saying.

There's only one way to settle this once and for all...












...danceoff.

really, if I had the power I'd ban half the players.
