I don't have sensitivity issues on the internet. .... good job for that, a person could go starkers. :wink:
You can put faith in things if you want, but being dishonest doesn't help faith. Ummm, dishonest? I doubt that's the case. The TRUTH is, POP has consistently SHOWN the inability to manage the game. I'm honestly not one who likes cliche quotes, but one of the very few I truly believe in: actions speak louder than words. It would be different if we had seen horrible support before but its has been getting noticeably better, but its been quite the opposite. Sooo .... what's the dishonesty in that?
When I say "they don't care," I'm not referring to the individuals that actually work for POP, I'm referring to the Corporate engine that is TCPi/Nintendo. Their ultimate goal is to make money. Again, if you deny this, you are being dishonest to yourself. Nope, can't argue with that. Being as their objective is to make money, profits, as in ANY company, come before the "well being of a small hassle in the company." My lack of faith is not in POP, its in TCPi. If you are in the mood to banter back and forth, honestly answer me this: given all of the problems we've seen in POP recently, how much do you honestly think TCPi cares about organized play? Enough. In fact, more than enough. It's obvious. How long do you think you'd last making hard decisions and doing a job that a very vocal portion of the player base finds ways to complain about EVERY YEAR? They must love their jobs, and their responsibilities very much. They've posted that a lot of things are in flux, and last year was a starting point to tweek Organized Play. I'm positive they have a multi year plan where some things can be introduced here and there. Change will come, AT IT'S OWN PACE, or at a pace that is set by TPCi. Allowing ourselves to get worked up about it is futile.
If Exo did come on only as a "response" to "spilled beans," that's the point of our frustration, the info was only released by Exo BECAUSE he HAD to. We want them to willing WANT talk to us, not have "confidentiality" issues. The problem in the first place was that it was CONFIDENTIAL. More on this later on in the post. Wait for it, I wouldn't want you to think I'm not responding to an important point.
And, for what its worth, I'm probably much, much older than you think. Perhaps, but then again you can only guess, since you don't know if I'd speak the same way to a teenager or a grandfather. I don't claim to be patient and I can attest to some of the virtues of what patience I have learned in life, but this isn't an issue of patience. Again, honestly curious, how long should one be willing to wait?
