What do you think they would say if they didn't have to be so nice?

"omfg you noobs, you bought a game and got that game, would you expect Nintendo to give you a free version of Mario every time a new one comes out?"

"umm... we are a business deisgned to earn profit, does it make sense to give everything away for free?"

"over the past year we have had downtimes of about 0.006% (including the LA server and trader fiasco's, thats better than most companies that charge a monthly fee (including your ISP)"

"if you have a problem with the way we are running this game go play something else..."


Of course if they were to take this approach (very similar to many posts here on Guru and other fansites) they would probably lose alot of future sales, and not survive very long as a viable money making business.

I bet if they could, they would say stuff like this and more, what do you think they would say?



Mods: if this is too inflammatory plz close this thread, just thought it would be interesting to see what people come up with if they were to put themselves in Gaile's and Alex's shoes.

I wish they would actually say that. It isn't like a minor skill change would prevent you from killing stupid computer-controlled monsters.

Haha, this reminds me of the time a player mentioned to a dev who was ingame that he saw Gaile get mad before, it was pretty funny, but I dont think Gaile would ever go that far even if she could, wouldn't seem to fit her personality. Now Alex, I could see him go into rage mode, "Damnit give us a break we're doing the best we can dahhh!".

Gaile: "I'm level 7 because I LIKE the number 7. DEAL WITH IT!"

Also:

Gaile (to Alex): "Can we PLEASE change the male warrior dance? I have to do these stupid congos just to avoid a group of male warriors dancing around me."

Alex (to Gaile): Just keep a list of everyone who's annoyed you and I'll make sure they lose all their assets in game ^^.

Another one:

Gaile: You do realize that this is OUR game, and we made it? Sorry, but we don't have to do everything you ask.

DISCLAIMER: The preceding quotes are in no way meant to imitate or suggest anything about Alex or Gaile. They are PURELY for entertainment purposes, you know, to give people a laugh.

Ok, you guys gave me a laugh. Quite a few, actually.

Let me think: I've actually said "Ya. Rly." in game before.
I have asked male warrior to "give me a little space" when they're dancing. If you know what I mean.
And I've been pretty direct when someone spams. Or when they ask the same question and number each time! (argh!) Or when they ask me to fix their personal technical issues, and when I explain "I'd like to help, but I'm visiting with more than a hundred other folks," get cranky and say I don't care. It's about then I'd like to say "I do care, or I wouldn't be here, silly!" But oh, wait, I think I have said that before.

Kng, I can't believe you screencaptured that one. I remember the convo! And don't worry, I'm female.
But way outta your age range, as I mentioned.

What would I say if I could say anything? That's between me and Guilda. And she's not talking.

I believe you said something about that once. IE: Why don't we have 2handed weapons? Why hasn't IWAY been buffed? Why can't warriors kill everything in one hit? and finally, Why arn't vamp touch and vamp bite spells?
