Glad I've got an already-established character on a better MMO.

RIP DDO.

Perhaps this is related to the shutdown of the customer service dept. Turbine has not outsourced customer service yet, have they, I thought it was just the forum mods who were outsourced? I can imagine that they want to build on the outstanding success delivered by IWZincedge & company.

And here people thought customer service couldn't get any worse. That'll teach us to underestimate Turbine.

This is interesting and disturbing.  They hire some new talent and follow it with restructuring layoff's.  It makes one wonder what's being restructured and if they are bleeding out subscribers.

It would be an early Christmas if was cut.

In all seriousness: Good.

I was actually kinda hoping nobody'd set you up for taking the fall on the recent release fuckups, for instance. Most of us can tell you give a damn and try.

Former Community Specialist Suzie Owen acknowledged on Twitter that she was one of those let go: "Looking for work in the Boston-Providence area. Any links would be most appreciated. I am unable to relocate at this time."

Fortunately, being very good at what you do and dedicated to your job helps avoid getting fired.

I regularly take blame from the community for things that aren't my doing, or my responsibility to fix. Rather than avoid any forum interaction like most developers do, I'm willing to actually pop in, say hello, give some insight on what's going on or how things work, and ask questions to get to the heart of a problem so that I can fix it, because if I don't, no-one else will find out what's going on or do anything about it.

I'm okay with that.

See: Broken Black Abbot 20th rewards, Warforged healer's friend, Spell Power issues, among many other things.

If you want to delude yourselves into thinking that I caused those issues (hint: I don't code), or that somehow they're my responsibility, just because I'm the one trying to figure out what's going on with them so that I can get them fixed, then that's fine if it makes you feel better.

I can deal with the harassment, and the threats of physical violence from you guys, because in the end, it honestly doesn't matter. I'm not going to let that kind of bullying discourage me from doing my job properly.

The fact is, I'm here, and I'm here to stay. I have a job I love, and I'm damn good at it. I work insane hours, go into the office on weekends to work on side projects (like buffing hirelings, or on the hinted-about new augment system) because I want to, and I put my all into what I do.

Deal with it.

Please continue to ignore healer and Warforged itemization while you pat yourself on the back.

In all seriousness, to those from Turbine who have posted, I'm glad you still have your job.  Agree or not, you have taken the time to come here and at times participate in our little community.

To those who have not posted yet, and have lost your jobs, my condolences and sincere well-wishes and hopes that you get re-employed rather quickly for your and your family's sakes.

Now, back to Vault etiquette:

SUCK IT.

Yours,

Nice post.

Thank you for your dedication.  Now, never make random items again and make better loot then we will love you.  I've you would have made this point sooner I think you would have gotten less shit for not knowing the code.

BTW, most of the bullies are fat lazy gaming nerds so I wouldn't be too worried.  You may get beaten with a foam padded larp sword but that's all in a days work.
