This is how it will be?

It has always been the goal of our Influencers Program to embrace people who represent a diverse range of opinions about SOE and our games. The expectation we have for each Influencer is that they will provide open and honest feedback that we can consider or act on as a company. It is understandable that decisions made by SOE will not always be to the liking of every Influencer, and that constructive feedback from participants will enable us to better relate with our communities over the long term.

Your passion and enthusiasm for EverQuest II have always been appreciated, but your own activities in the last few months have led us to the conclusion that it is time for your participation in this program to end. You have been all but silent through the many channels of communication provided by the Influencers program; eliminating any benefit that your voice might bring to our attention in the service of the community.

At the very same time you have actively encouraged many ‘sensational’ issues to come to the attention of your community at EQ2Flames, even when those issues lacked merit. Additionally, you have abused your personal access to members of our development teams, with no regard to the harm it might cause them in the process.

For these reasons, we are ending your participation in our Influencers program. We appreciate the feedback you have given us when you chose to do so; but it is time for this relationship to end.

Please remember that any private information you were exposed to as a member of the Influencers Program is still protected by the non-disclosure agreement you signed when first joining the program.

So basically why you protected SOE's ass with retarded rules they stab you in the back?

LFG · 03-10-2008, 10:00 PM

I haven't "abused my relations" with anyone - that is a flat out LIE, Sir.

Let's be honest here.

You, Grimwell, pretended to seek out better relations with me and this site while at the same time actively soliciting devs to stop posting on this site and to post on yours instead.

You pretended to be want to be friends, acting cordially, while at the same time intentionally undermining my efforts to try and help you gain better relations with the majority of your player base. You Sir, are a double dealer and on a massive power trip.

You lack my respect and should feel shame.

I keep my promises, unlike SOE management.

Scott Hartsman promised me, in writing, to get the exclusive fan site review of the Shard of Hate raid zone when it was introduced.

Grimwell was copied on the messages between me and Scott promising that.

And then they fucking refused to honor that promise, and also just ignored my emails asking them to honor it.

For shame Grimwell, learn some business ethics Sir.

Grimwell is out of touch and Gnorbin is the worst "Community Manager" ever.

Goooooooo team!

I completely second this motion!

Time to rename site in fuckyousoe.com again? ;)

This site is now FFA against SOE.

Let them know the meaning of dissatisfied customers.

Fuck Grimwell. He is the worst Community person ever. Even SOE's own employees are embarassed by their new community team.
