Nothing to see here, move along

I'll second Max's sentiment, and add a rant of my own.

Although it may seem that some people "get away with stuff", I believe closer examination will reveal the differences between them and those that get smacked.  It is not just what the whines are about, but how they are expressed.  As long as the disagreements are respectful, there is no problem.  When you begin hurling personal assaults, question HTCs integrity, things of this nature, you get smacked quick.

IMHO, HTC has been more than tolerant with many on the boards.  If he seems strict now, it is only because he was lenient before.  Just because someone "got away with it" a year ago, doesn't make it right.  Etc. etc.  Bottom line, follow golden rule, and you will have no problems.

i believe what he may be getting at is...  one unnamed played gets roasted for vulchinging an account.. the next month a player basically gets a pat on the back because he "apologogizes" when he's scrutinized and the player that points out the "strange" curcumstances is chastized for bringing it up in the first place  *shrugs*

They better not...LOL

If they did people would actually read what I post, and Skuzzy is smart enough to not let that happen.  :D

Think the difference here is, one that got roasted admitted he did it for rank, in public, and was essentially trying to make AH and HTC look foolish in the process.  In the second case, there is at least a chance the person who apologized was used by someone else, who also shall remain unnamed.  If the person who apologized had instead said "yeah, what of it you tards!" he, too, would have been smacked as there would have been no doubt as to his intentions.

My take, anyway.

Max and Ltarget-

I think you both have made valid points. I was a little harsh in my attack against HTC customer service, considering the fact that I have never had to deal with them on the technical side of the game.  I should have been more clear as my rant should have been directed towards PR. I imagine that this game and community have grown faster than HTC probably expected it to. I'm sure that it is difficult to deal with everybodys pissing and moaning, but I still believe that some of the "veterans" are allowed more freedom than some of the lesser knowns. In the very recent past I feel like some very similar situations where handled completely differently.

Either way I still feel like people should be able to share there problems on the boards even if it has to do with HTC.  We are adults and should be able to tell the difference between a legit complaint and somebody who just wants to be an arse.

Yeah, and lets note how you quietly conceal the name of that company..

You see, the argument is pointless because the big difference here is that we all know where HT works...  But you could work for Pauls Paperclips..  

Being a corporate call center 5hit eater is a little different from running a company.   HT runs a company... You (and I) are simply employed by companies.

I think HT is smart not to let his public board get cluttered up with the rantings of every whine-tard that comes down the pike... You see, its bad for business.  If you have a legitimate gripe pick up the phone and call.

I (and many others) have called HTC more than once, talked to Skuzzy on the phone and EVERY SINGLE TIME had some of the BEST customer service I've ever received from any company.

A public cry session is not the solution to anything.

The big thing is how you word your criticism.

Being courteous even if you are dissatised with something gets you a lot futher than "Bunch of crap", "POS" etc.

HTC customer service is great, I can't count the amount of times I've phoned them with a problem and got it sorted out there and then, or it has been fixed in the next patch.

And yes I have criticised some of the changes and patches that have occured recently.
