[Updated] Official 11+ Movement Thread

[mikieblue]

I've kept up with this thread & refrained from response as yet due to me not having much time, I hope to make things a little clearer later this evening.

Firstly, Just to be clear for the sake of Infliction, It's me personally who took a lead with this movement & i was just like anybody else who was invited. I believe it was someone called SullenInvictus who set up the group, but it was losing pace and key stake holders (Many top 10) losing interest due to little action and overblown ideas being discussed which we felt would do more harm to the game we love than good. I agreed to take a lead simply because of my personal experience of working in and dealing with major corporations and my understanding of how to best approach them.

Secondly, Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to comment here.. Healthy debate is always great. Just a shame none of the Dev team have ever shown enough passion about the game as we have to get involved too..

In all honesty, Many of the guys here are asking the same questions as we all asked each other when setting this movement up. What do we want? how far are we willing to go? In all honesty for many of us, we're not willing to go too far. I'll openly admit that and id like to manage this in such a way that ideally nobody does... We shouldn't ever be forced to take agressive action..
PROVIDED WE CHANNEL OUR RESSOVLE WELL ENOUGH TO AND THROUGH THE RIGHT PEOPLE.

Many supported much more aggressive forms of protests when this group was set up before I took over and other top 10 people joined... Ideas being thrown around such as gem boycotts / Spamming tickets /chaining themselves up outside GREE offices holding "READ MY POST GREE" banners.

The simple fact is that we all have a common goal and that's to get improvements made to this game. These hundreds and HUNDREDS of requests have been completely ignored in recent months by GREE.
Did just asking get us anywhere? Posting Admin feedback? the 300 polls?
How about answering the admin poll? did we even get a.. Well this won. So we will try to implement this, thanks for your input! NO.
WE DESERVE AND ARE ALLOWED TO ASK FOR A LITTLE MORE RESPECT AND CONSIDERATION HERE. WE AFTER ALL ARE THE CUSTOMERS.

Changing rating to 1* and supporting this movement is exactly what it says on the tin. SUPPORT. This isn't by any means an aggressive tactic, I made pretty clear from day 1 that Majestic and I know I speak for many of my friends in other top Guilds to say that WE DONT WANT to do to damage the game, we dont want to stop spending... We just want GREE to LISTEN and finally show it's customers a shred of respect for their ongoing business and at least open up some line of communication with us.

Lets be clear, the game when you join and fall in love with it is 5* and a deserved rating of this.
the game we're playing 1 year down the line for most IS a justified 1* rating for us because of many of the issues highlighted by the 11+ movement get you down You still have a passion for the game but the lack of passion shown by GREE to make us happier, developing the game we love, improving it for the future is an insult. This DESERVES a 1* rating

We (the long term legacy players) give GREE a huge customer base and financial backbone, the impact to share price etc for happy legacy customers is much more significant than many of you seem to believe. TRUST ME, CUSTOMER LEGACY is worth a HUGE amount of money to any business... REALLY HUGE.

Keeping US happy is in THEIR interest too. 3m posts in these forums with 2 people whining about 1 issue off this list that lasts for 1 week before it's trolled into the ground by some idiot on these boards. This approach doesn't amount to half as much impact as 1 thread with 3000+ LEGACY SPENDERS.

Unfortunately I'm out of time here due to work and barely touched on many of the things I wanted.
As I promised to our supporters. I'll be getting in contact with GREE directly today & will keep you guys updated with how we get on.. Thanks to everyone who has shown support for this & hopefully at very least we will get some intent from GREE about things to come & what we can expect to see short / long term from our goals...


Thanks everyone!
