EQ2 Flames Consolidated Developer Information List - Page 117

I made this response in Greg Spence's blog comments:

Quote:

Greg, you said:

"LFG was simply removed from the Influencers program for lack of involvement and communication."

Your statement is in the form of a fact Sir. Facts what others at SOE have told you. These "facts" simply aren't true, and what you've done by

repeating this pretextual, rationalized, and regurgitated excuse is no different than Grimwell accusing me of reporting untruthful, sensationalized

information.

The truth is, you don't know why I reacted as I did except what others have told you at SOE HQ. There will be an Interview that should be published by

another site on Tuesday that will shed more light on this. Hopefully then you will better understand my side of the story.

You further state in your comments here that:

"I'm sorry, but I can't think of a reason to justify the posting of SOE employee's private information on public forums."

In the case of the information posted on my site (by others, none of it was posted by me), all of that information was gleaned by EQ2 players from SOE

employees who voluntarily disclosed that information to players, and from information that your employer makes public.

The reason that information was posted was so players could determine whether and to what extent your co-workers were corrupt and had released private, confidential information in violation of SOE policies to give their guildmates an unfair advantage over other players.

The leaked email on the Trakanon encounter, which could only have been leaked by a member of your dev staff to an EQ2 uber guild, highlights the fact that at least one or more of your co-workers have violated SOE policy and the very basis of ethics in gaming for their own personal gain, including to curry favor with their guildmates.

No "private" information was published on my site - no phone numbers, no addresses. The only information that has been posted is to tie devs into their player accounts, and to post public email addresses for SOE employees.

Your attempted rationalization of this entire matter is specious, and all you've done here is helped to establish that the Emporer is naked and you don't want to tell him that.

I sincerely had expected better from you Greg.

Amen to what Rothgar said.

It matters little. This pathetic, sad crusade will come to an end sooner than later and simply will be forgotten. Those that quit, good riddance. You won't find the grass is greener on the other side anywhere else.

Any of the arguments on pertaining to this thread, such as "omg, the game is dying", "omg, raids are dead", "omg, the forums are over moderated" "omg this", "omg that". They hold such little water, it's laughable at best. It's just a shame you can't see past your prepubescent anger to realize it.

/waits patiently for the "omg fanboi" comments. To which I can only respond with, you're simple f*cking morons.

As someone who hasn't played since December, the grass is greener.

I also just posted this comment on Greg Spence's blog, following the comment he made after I posted there:

Quote:

Regarding your comment:

"Regardless of your opinion on the forum moderation, the official forums are what we (the devs) read and respond to. So if you want to be heard, that's where you should post your issues."

This is more evidence that SOE has decided to take back it's traffic from EQ2Flames by mandating that devs can no longer post there, and can only post on the official forums.

Thank you for strengthening my case that SOE made a business decision to use it's best efforts to destroy my website, for it's own personal gain.

I don't think so. This negative publicity and community reaction will continue like a dam break until SOE decides to employ reasonable business practices and resolve this problem rather than hide from it and pretend like it will go away.

This is far from over. And do you think any of this has hurt me personally in any way, as I'm so frequently accused of? Advertising revenue on this site has doubled in the past week.

I could have been getting this all along. Instead I was always trying to take the high road, until SOE showed me that the road leading downhill is faster and less effort.
