I can go away for a week if I want and come back invest some time. Second I find it funny how 3 of you have decided to take one of my posts from and rip it apart and I find it quite amusing. As moderators we can show the same amount of frustration towards you guys as you do towards us. Why are you any different than us? You don't think we'd get spoken to if we stepped over the line?

That's the stupidest thing I ever saw coming from someone mistakenly appointed as a moderator... this person is the prime example of who NOT should have any kind of authority, ever.

Ummmm...  Maybe I'm missing something here, but I don't see what's so bad about their answer.  Looks like to me he/she was honest and straight forward.  Also their answer could be taken out of context.  It appears that there was some kind of ongoing conversation between said Mod and others.  So... Don't really know what's going on here.

Honestly be comlprehensive with these guys, they love the game prolly been waiting for it since the first mmo was made. Fc, the company that sucks at mmos get it, yet they hanged on. Then all the hype, they probably knew as muc has everyone about the big con. The game coems out they try to enjoy it and bam, most of the players start saying that even minesweeper is more fun, saying that its the worst realeased game that costed 50$ ( I agree about that). They still try to like the game but ppl keep on talking about getting their cash back and class action.

I would really love to see Fc go down hard, and its products being sold to soe so the ppl at Fc really realised they failed. That would teach mmo making companies that serving us shit = sleeping under a bridge 5 months later.

But volunteers are regular ppl and what are you supposed to do when most posts are trolls vs fanboys flamewars.

Really? So the guy representing Funcomis no different than the customers PAYING to play the game? He can be as rude to them as he wants? And it's not taken out of context, considering I've already read through one of his threads where he is condecending and argumentative with customers throughout.

This dipwad uses the argument that since he is not paid, he is not an employee, therefore it doesn't matter what he says or how he says it. Regardless of how many times you try to "get it in his head" ( another of his phrases when speaking to a customer ) that paid or not, he IS the face of Funcom on those boards.

Here, here's a good thread. You decide. http://forums.ageofconan.com/showthread.php?t=140503

Ah, ok, fair enough.  You did have the advantage of knowing their previous threads.  And I concur with you.  But from the excerpt of the OP it doesn't make that clear.

This feels more like a trolling thread than being constructive. It accomplishes nothing.

A "möðërätör" with the avatar: "Hooligans at play".. 

I'm quite sure that funcom probally shares this moderators belief that his actions has nothing to do with funcom. Otherwise funcom is more fuckedup then i thought was possible.

Doesn't matter if he's 'working' (though some people WORK from HOME and can SET their OWN schedule, so his argument is out the window already) or just volunteering...he represents Funcom. If he's basically a fanboy with a pretty title and good grammar then he has no business moderating anything; his views are going to be skewed. Sounds like he was a little ticked that his post was 'ripped apart' and that's probably the only reason why he said what he did, but it's still not professional.

On the contrary OP1, this is a thread that explains why so many frustrated ex-AOC fans find refuge in these boards (among others i guess).

This "mod" in the original post is someone who has zero understanding about what customer service is. Yes, they can get frustrated. NO, they can NOT, never vent it on customers or let the frustration influence, enhance their decisions.

And MOST importantly, they should never, ever, EVER tell this straight "in the face" of all the FC customers, after all the issues. That's just the definition of "UNprofessionalism".

As someone having been alerted a few times, and even temp-banned in 1 or 2 cases on these boards, I think I can say w/o being dishonest, that modding on MMORPG boards is many classes above that of AOC forums.
