Nobody is taking anything out on him. I'm simply pointing out the facts. He said there would be support. There has never been support. Support isn't in the GREE vocabulary. They always run weekend events and wait until Monday to fake apologize for their suckiness. And you idiots keep giving them your money. It is what it is, but don't come on here and tell the community that there will be support. History has set the precedent. It has never happened, and never will happen
We know there are some hard feelings and we're trying to work on those. Moving forward is all we can do. We can't change the past, but we can hear you now and start to implement ideas, suggestions, better communication, etc. for the future. Great change isn't an over night process and there may be bumps in the road and set backs. We will get there. It'll take some time and effort.
Retired to free playing
thumbs up to these last few posts!
Thats well said man, but as you know actions are louder than words. We've heard a lot of words in the past. Nobody expects you to sit around here monitoring everything 24x7 but when the forum implodes because of stuff like what happened with the last 24 hour WD where peoples frustrations were at an all time high, there wasn't a mod in sight. Thats what we've come to expect. And handing out 75 gold as compensation for the plethora of mistakes instead of refunding real money is inexcusable. Just as one example - You release a unit for 1 gold, people buy gold to get the unit, then you take away the unit and give people back their gold instead of their money - that's unethical.
Until you stop that sort of crap from happening, all I see here are more words. If you had the power to make the decisions, I think you would do the ethical thing. It's your bosses that should be ashamed of themselves. They're crooks. I couldn't sleep at night knowing that I treated people that way. Refunding real money because of your mistakes is not "Great change". Thats normal business operating procedure. Thats being an ethical organization. Perhaps GREE needs to revisit it's mission statement.
Honestly this response is what I expect from a politician. But hey, you're communicating that effort is being made. Just know that all it takes is ONE more time for GREE to screw the community and all your words fall apart. Good effort so far on your part, just be mindful that if you're setting the tone that things are getting better you lose all credibility the minute GREE screws us again.
Your words seem sincere.
Time will reveal if things are as you say.
That said, change did occur swiftly.
The change all but destroyed your game and drove away much of your player base.
Change, positive and negative can INDEED be accomplished overnight.
Here's a very simple change.
It won't cost anyone an additional dollar.
How about adjusting the next WD date by moving it seven days or more?
As an aside, most of the holidays in the US (a few world wide) have been over HOLIDAY weekends for this game.
That alone demonstrates far more than any words could say either an act of commission or omission.
Either way, it isn't coincidence.
Your company could use that seven days to fix many things.
That would illustrate action, not just promises.
For those who wish NOT to FREELANCE during the seven day downtime, you could offer a crate event, a couple of FLTQS or LTQS or maybe a surprise event.
One more thought: Its been said by many people. Why don't you cut the prices of everything in this game by 66% for 30 days?
That's another simple change.
It'll positively impact your bottom line, T.
Show us something, and win your player base back.
People spend money, if they derive value.
Some people believe they are deriving value.
Most folks I talk to believe the opposite.
Talk is cheap.
Actions speak volumes.
There you go, those are very easy things to do.
As for myself, I'll return to the shadows to look and learn.
I will offer one last comment, T.
You are a very even tempered person.
You lean towards being fair and somewhat balanced.
That's a pretty big improvement from what many of us have observed over the last 12-18 months.

Ha! But didn't say I wouldn't be playing, just my 2 favorite holidays, and the 2 I respect the most I might add. And take them away big O, or whoever else should dare....I've got plenty of guns that say I will celebrate them one way or another (as I go out in a blaze of glory).
How hard is it to look at a calendar? Isn't there one on the bottom right corner of every computer running windows? Don't you view one to count the days for events? Well done Gree. Now kindly remove your heads from your asses
It's just a holiday people. Who cares? If anything, you won't have to do anything but bbq and watch fireworks. I've never understood why people get upset about WD over holidays. Especially this one -- who gives a ****? The USA declared independence from Britain in 1776 -- whoopie!
Add my mini
modern war 401 427 287
Enjoy the holiday guys...don't worry bout the WD results.
Gree should be worried though.
It only costs me $40 in gold to sit in a top 20 faction during a war. Go ahead everyone sit it out I might save a couple bucks. I have to work anyway. Bring on the war.
Why is it so hard to disagree and not be disagreeable?
By forcing your view on another person or discounting their view, your attempt to calm the storm only you perceive is coming, discounts and disrespects a person.
If you disagree, why dismiss their opinion?
To most people, its not about holidays. It's about being with REAL people they love, enjoy, and care about.
Some people have REAL lives consisting of real family and friends. It's not only about holidays, it's about everyday and being with people you love.
