Stormrigirl Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Nothing will happen, he was completely correct in his response and tone. You need to realize there are more important things than you. Sometimes you have to push back at pushy people. I think you are just a rude one sited person....it is a legit question that millions have right now...so you need to step back and ask yourself if you are right. The thing is it is one of the biggest issues right now...when people get into EGA as a matter of fact it is most peoples issue right now ...

Drakinor Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The most funny thing is that BW didn't see this coming. Be angry at your self. I dont think its that they didnt see it coming but that they wanted to believe that people were mature and reasonable enough to not do this. Obviously such a belief is naive and foolhardy but if thats the case their hearts were in the right place lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobadee Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Get off your tall horse. This is not about entitlement. This is about a company that fails to see it is a customer service operation. And you gathered all of this from, what exactly? They made a game, published it ahead of time and people are screaming because they can't all flood into the game all at once, even though they have the opportunity to still play in advance, exactly as claimed when they pre-ordered. You see, with customer service, it's usually people complaining about a problem they have with a product; but, in this case, the problem is the people, Bioware can't fix stupid.

Dathanar Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 No, not it's not a real issue. It's a perceived issue based on feelings of entitlement that are rampant in Western society. Exactly, thank you. I happen to adore the fact the developers & staff tell folks no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfraze Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 As someone who has worked with software developers for quite a while (As a grunt in the support department)....Developers and Upper Management always underestimate human nature.

I suspect that he's gotten tens of thousands of tweet-whines "When will I get in?" Agree completely with his response, except I doubt I would've been as polite. And I'm Canadian.

Solais Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 (edited) I don't care about the staggered release either way. I'll play when I play. What I think bothers people the most that the actual process is shrouded in mystery. People can handle waiting in line for the most part if they have an estimated ETA. I can wait on a rollercoster line for 70 minutes if I know that going in, but by not having that sign it makes it a hell of a lot harder. I think it would have quelled the masses quite a bit if they had a bit more transparency. Tell people that they estimate this date range will be in on day 1, 2, etc. Sure, you'll still have people pissed off if things change a bit, but most will understand. By refusing to do that you have to know you're inviting this level of outrage and impatience. Edited December 14, 2011 by Solais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dahabs Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Nowhere did official EA/BW adds say this. This way retailers (and I am guessing your in EU) trying to get CE sales. The OFFICIAL word was always "Up to 5 days!" Regardless of edition. no it wasnt,it was ce gets 7 days early acess,reg editions get 5.your wrong,as well it wasnt a gamestop advert. when i preordered in july,it was clearly stated in ALL advertising that it would be 7 days for ce. this tone was changed later.to 5 days.as well ce got you no early acess it would be staggered. i still have my original email from swtor stating this.they emailed me ,to go preorder.it says clearly 7 days early acess for ce. im not going to dangle the lawsuit or class action suit mantra.but i do feel slightly cheated to first not get the 7 days early acess as stated on day one.then instead of being given a code with my purchase i had to fight with gamestop for a week or so to get one then activate it. bioware/ea was aware of the code issues.they even had a thread about it .till they decided it wasnt thier problem anymore and your sol attitude.

Posiden Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 The people who are raging right now will be saying how awesome is once they actually get early access. Hence, BW isn't really worried about it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have worked as a CSR multiple times in the past. And guess what? Part of the job is to weed out the frivolous "You guys owe me this!!" kinda crap which is EXACTLY what you and your ilk are doing. None of us are happy that we are not in yet but SOME of us are actually reasonable enough to understand the process and have patience. We realize our lives wont end if we dont get in soon enough. CSRs deal with crap complaints like yours daily and they WILL shoot ya down for important issues, e.g. double charging for one order, account security, software issues, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganiccus Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 lolz... if a tweet is holding him back from helping people he needs to find a new job.. Maybe holding a STOP sign at a x-road so kiddies can walk to school This was my first sentiment, actually. TWITTER is holding you back from doing your job? Wow.

MPSewell Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 No, not it's not a real issue. It's a perceived issue based on feelings of entitlement that are rampant in Western society. This. People's sense of self-entitlement disgusts me to my core, especially as I study history and on a daily basis read the words of people who didn't know if they'd be able to feed their families for the next 24 hours, but let's make a big pissing match over a *********** game, because that's really the end of the world. There are people dying, as we speak, because they have no food or medical care. And the biggest thing you can find to ***** about is you didn't get a game EARLIER THAN WAS PROMISED. ****in people sicken me. I shoudl leave this forum before I punch my computer monitor.

nivekje Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 maybe he should not keep checking his twitter account and just continue working.
