Arks....and why gm's need to help players
Ok, so this is a rant.
I respect the arks, for what they try to do. I think the greeter program is fine. helps a lot. and i KNOW that most of the petitions that come about are bogus. a load of crap, and silly stuff that arks can easily handle.
HOWEVER
i found a bug, and yes i will be reporting it. has to do with an implant combo that SHOULD work (yes, i know how to make implants..heh) is an eye combo - shining aimed shot, bright nano init and faded mat creation. will work in any combo of two of those, but not all three.
ok, yes it may be a bug....but what bothered me is that when i petitioned, i got an ark, who acted as laiason to a higher level ark. i waited 4 HOURS to see that low ranked ark. THEN i waited 2 MORE hours to see one of the high ranking arks (i was now priority 2). NO GM"S WOULD TALK TO THIS ARK. he told me that he had bumped me to priority 1. fine. It is not this poor guy's fault the CS reps are not doing their jobs. he was doing his best.
I finally know what you guys mean when you say that they are useless. I disagree, they have uses......but for crying out loud, the GM's should respond to THEM at least. they spent HOURS lookin at my poblem, and trying to get the GM's attention.
and even THEY were ignored.
The arks try hard, and some are great. but MORE GM'S are necessary. i was online for 18 hours yesterday waiting for a response. 18 hours in total. and nothing.
Less time interviewing ARKS and more time ANSWERING PETITIONS.
Rant done. 'Nuff said
