Hehehe.
Just opened this thread for the first time today to get caught up.

LoLLLLLL!

Makes me want to put big font, bold advertisements for this site on the front page in the Bugs/Issues stickies.

I've said my piece. To Hell with them and their rubbish forum.

EDIT: Since, ten seconds later, I realised that thread is obviously going to be deleted for not worshiping Wizards' every decision, here's the content:



I've been without my main account for over two months.

People have been unable to play multiplayer on some platforms just as long. Multiplayer they paid for. I assure you, your rigid campaigns aren't the selling point of this product.

Hordes of unfixed bugs and half-written functionality linger.

The forum is still a smouldering corpse of what it once was. Over three months old and it still lacks over half the functionality of what it replaced.

How about you lot get your act together and do something other than nag like a bunch of old housewives? Try doing some work. Earning some pay. Doing something right.

I've been a loyal customer for twenty years. That ends today. Your crap attitude and crap work ethics and rubbish rules (how DARE people talk about our game on a forum better than the one we half-heartedly provide!) aren't worth it. Your products are given the minimal amount of support needed to milk people for money and not a shred more. You never go above and beyond. You never go the extra mile. We count ourselves lucky when you do the bare minimum we'd expect of any other company.

This coming from a guy who was pimping out this product so well last year that Worth Wollpert troubled himself to send me over a hundred dollars worth of rare foil cards. I still have them, safely kept, because that one gesture of competence and caring was the first, last, and best I've seen from your company. That man should be heading this project. He knows his stuff.

Enough is enough. You'll never see another penny out of me unless you get more staff with a conscience, a work ethic, and a much more decent attitude than "Monica's." I've never seen a company treat their customers so consistently terribly in my life except when the company in question was a front for a scam or criminal activity. You're not that, but you don't act any better. If you catch me talking about using any of your products in the future, rest assured, I didn't pay to use them. I'll use them at your expense, because you deserve the injury. But you won't be getting a shred of recompense from me. I certainly only got that one time from your lot after putting up with all the problems, faults, broken formats, broken products, useless customer service, and other issues - for two decades, which makes me more faithful than 99% of your employees or customers. Ever.

Enforce that.

Well said, my good sir.

Took a bit less than two hours to get deleted. Not sure how many people saw it. I threw it back up. Screw 'em. What are they going to do, ban me from a forum I'd stopped even checking until I saw the BS about them locking the recruitment thread? Told 'em if they delete again, I'll put it up in a bunch of places. They'll have their shame one way or another, and they'll be a lot better off if they let it sit in that subforum that twenty people visit than if I have to go putting it up on Reddit and some other gaming sites where it will get more attention.

i wonder if we trow a "go to goblins" on every tread of the forum they would close it all for law enforcement. hahaha. every tread close XD probably we are only unemploy the moderators

Go for it. Got banned in twenty minutes for reposting it. Anonymously, with no warning e-mail or anything like usual. GUNG-HO GESTAPO!

I'd be amused if everyone bombed the forum with "go to NGA" threads. What will they do, ban everyone? Either way, we win.

Got this up on reddit, too. Think I'll talk to a couple of writers I know about spreading the word about how Wizards won't fix their own forum but doesn't want anyone to go anywhere else either. Twenty years of loyalty to their products and all it gets me is ignored, lied to, and banned.

http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments ... r_service/

The ORCs would be sent in full force to delete all the posts containing "Go to goblins." Of course, there would be no comments from said ORCs about the deleted posts, only invisible bumps to threads.


I have to say that it's oddly satisfying to pop over there from time to time and see how much of a graveyard it's become.

Yes, but pertaining to my earlier idea...
Would they delete the Bugs/Issues stickies if I play out my idea or just remove the content and ban me?

Without a word about it, probably.

Don't forget the legions of xbox and ipad users with serious playability issues.
You know for every one who posted about it on the forum there are a hundred more who would never think to do so.

Personally, I want people to come here, since it's a better place for discussions, and, from a selfish standpoint, because I'm here, and I'd rather stay here. Right now, I'd say I'm 90/10 here/there. Mostly just checking for any 'real' info (which is pretty pointless) and seeing if anyone from the past shows up and wants to know where we are.
That being said, I don't know if we really want to piss them off, or burn any bridges.

IMO - anyone who posts there should put a link for this place in the sig...if it can be brought into the post, mention the site, but, we don't want people who are looking at the other forum thinking this place is just full of spammers...

or just spread it in game theres nothing they can do about it. wht a dictatorship. and we are paying custumors. imagine that

Well I've got it up on reddit on the first link, and also in the magicTCG subreddit. I've sent it off to the content manager for PureMTGO.com too. Will also put the links up on my Facebook. Sure, I won't cause much damage - Hell, I could never damage Wizards as much as their customer service and IT departments do - but anything I do adds up. Twenty years and tens of thousands of dollars and when I tell them they're not perfect, I get banned. They've got an enemy now.

Edit: And not to sound paranoid but to all the WOTC employees lurking here.
Pay attention to what a true "official" game forum should look like and learn from your mistakes.

as long as this dont get spamed by noobs averything counts. socials networks already made revolutions (egipt). of couse we wont hurt them. they are some snob fat bastards, but one must say the truth, that forum sucks and here we have that feeling that something is right, and growing. besides that the almost 100 p cent absence of noobs make it very consistent on discussions

I'm not sure why they thought it was a good idea to annoy the guy with the "Rabble-Rouser" avatar, but there you have it. I put the links up on FB and someone asked if they could contract me next time they need a scathing letter written.

I don't think anyone should feel obligated to ever visit the official forums ever again - literally - so who cares if you get banned? Just constantly post threads whose title is this forum's address until you get banned, then let someone else do it, etc.

If nothing else, it'd be hilarious.

I read Dragonette's comments as so:

"We left this topic alive because we think we're too big to fail. But now we're hemorrhaging users like crazy and our forums are dead. So now we're going to follow our policies and return to the age of censoring all dissent."

Nice.

No. I no longer visit the old forums, not now this one is finally showing some signs of life and growing steadily. Moderation is of course much better, the interface is much better, it isn't a pure white that sears my retinas for no good reason and we get the exact same amount of official information as the official site does.

That last fact kind of says it all really, don't you think?
