Gm macroed responses...what are we paying these guys for!!!Follow

#1 Mar 13 2005 at 2:48 AM Rating: Good
The other day i was in bastock. This certain player named KopKilla was harassing sevral peopl in shout using very juvinial racest and sexest statements as well as profanity. I and sevral others asked him to stop or we would call a Gm. To with his response was why nothing will happen. LO and behold to my amazement he was right. I called and spoke to a gm who only used macroed responses that my Ls gave me quote for quote. They said they would investigate. Thisplayer was highly inappropiate.


Today my bestfriend and nextdoor neighbor calles ma asking how to contact a Gm. (shes a newb) So told her and asked what was going on. She responed by telling me that this same player Kopkilla was being very foul and obscene out in the dunes and she found it highly offensive. So she called a GM.


Now if myself and sevral other called a Gm the other night about this player onewould only think that the problem would have been handled. Apparently it was not. I want to knw whay we even have GM's if they are only going to used macroed responses and not do anything to these blatent offenders. What about 13 year old kids on the game do they need to be subject to this harassment and crap from others. And at that what do I pay for where do my hard earned dollars go every month????


If anyone else has had simalar issues with SE I welcome you to write here and mabye we can draw the attention of the GM's and how we feel. If not I thank you for listining to nmy rant.

Well, to be honest, GMs suck. They do nothing. Damn GMs put me in jail cuz I had a mule named Vhagina. While there's an assjockey cursing everyone and their mom out in Jeuno; nothing happens.

I've contacted gm's on several occasions and talked to pbbly all the ones on shiva. (some about in game issues others about mpk and such) So far theres only ONE that has helped me in 3 different situations. The others DO use macro'ed responses for their entire conversation and don't take care of crap.

I wish I could remember the good one's name. I'm pretty sure it was alissia or something girly sounding with alot of s's. They still used a macro for their opening line, but they actually discussed what was going on. It was a pleasant change from the "this is gm suchandsuch how may i take your order" and the "I will look into this issue. do you want fries with that?"

All I can say is how can -->I<-- Get a job to play a FFXI god charactor, goof around all day, hit a few macros and get paid all at the same time?! lmao ~Aet

I called before on several occasions about mpking and other issues. They all seemed atificial and macroed like I was talking to some high tech feed back bot. So one night I had a question about a recent issue that SE did this year about monopolizing so just to test my thereoy I started asking about the GM job and how did it come about for that particular GM, he was very nice and told me he was from Germany and a friend of his told him about the GM jobs SE was filling so he applied. I dont remember his name unfortunately. You have to let them know you are serious when making a call r they will just blow it off and do nothing assuming u called to let off steam about an issue. They can be lazy and slow to react if you dont push it.

Omg u all are ****** right GMs aka ***** asses sux ***. Just this last saturday me and some buddies went to {Kuftal Tunnel} to pop some Phatom worms. While we were there Gil farmers showed up. It was Xifan, Fensi, Gtorc and some others. So while we were waiting to pop worms, we fished. We got a ****** Devil Manta and these punks stole it and got the our item ahhhh. Ok I know thats not a violation of FFxi user agreement crap. But this is wehre it gets juicy, ok so we popped a worm. While we were fighting WE GOT MPKed!!!!! Xifan had gobs and spiders and brung it to our pery and bind them ><. But we won tho. So i called the GM, I told him the situation and he said that he will put them in the log of violation???? wtf is that ****. I also mention they were gil farmers. lol he told me "good luck with Devil Manta ~.^". So i'm thinking this ***** did something about the ******** happened...but guess what the same gil farmers were camping anemet LOL and ask us if we wanted to join them...rofl. My point is GM= **** suckers, they work w/ the gil farmers. Think about it and i'm sure SE don't know ****. peace

Actually, I discussed with GMs before (Tiyshen and Tapkaara) about what EXACTLY a GM can and cannot do.

GameMasters can warp people to Mordion Goal, but they themselves cannot ban players. Instead, they just simply pass a report up to a higher authority, who makes the decisions there. Gil selling reports are sent to SE's legal department.

The GMs know about the Gilfarmers, and the MPKers, but they themselves cannot ban the people. Remember, a lot of GMs also play FFXI as normal players in his/her off hours, and so without question they know these people and have had bad run ins with these people first hand.

The GameMasters are not useless, they are just the first layer of player interaction. Sort of like a middleman in the situation.

And just like all people, there are nice GMs and mean GMs. For example, the GM I talked to Tiyshen, and Tapkaara are VERY nice people who don't mind answering my questions about this sort of thing.

So the fact is...

They are doing their jobs.

They just don't have the power that everyone thinks they do.

GMs do do something based on the problem.
A friend of mine was told they got a warning when they went to GM jail (which is really cool place btw) lol He was like whatever and after there talk was put back to HP. Another time he pissed off some JP people I think was was given a second warning. Again, he was like pfft. He no longer plays this game anymore because his account was suspsended after the 3rd time he pissed off someone.
So I guess it's just what you did or they did and the GM is just following protocol. They're pretty much like telemarketers designed to answer your questions and assist your needs. We should be so lucky that a bunch of people are sitting at home playing this game and answering annoying questions all day and getting calls for "He called me a ****, she called me a *****." type messages. Be greatful for a second. We all diss the GM's but they're just following orders or a piece of paper, or macros or whatever. I'm sure the majority aren't even allowed to flirt (like alot of ya'll do :P) Anyhoo, GMs ROX lol

Ok I'm done.
