How I got pwned by BioWare OR a REAL reason to unsub

Do you know why the difference?

Because items sent to you by Bioware are not actually sent until you log in. Check it if you don't believe me. I have logged in a few characters after being dormant for many months and the special items form Bioware show up in my mail as just having arrived when I logged the character in.

Thing is though... we have an extremely valuable and rare list of in game items.. all miraculously listed on the GTN at the same time, coupled with an alleged emergency exit of the country that precluded even logging into the game to clear the high value items from the GTN, coupled with customer support saying there are no logs of those items having been listed by that player on that account on the GTN.

So.. without attacking the OPs character or honesty in any way.... let me just expore with you that you are are making a giant leap of faith on behalf of a player you do not know, and condemning customer service.

Objectivity TUXs... none of us here know enough about what did/did-not happen to make any judgment on support or lack of it. None of us will ever know enough details to know who is in the wrong here. All we have is what the OP tells us... but you know what... what he does tell us makes for pause for the rest of us.. because it's just extreme enough to have been fabricated for all we know... OR NOT fabricated for all we know.

Mail from Bioware stays for well over a month. On my main I still have the fireworks mail (with the item) at 141 days and the party Jawa mail (no item) at 181 days. CE mail is gone, though I believe that lasted around a year.

Is there a thread you don't show up in and spin on behalf of bioware? No wonder people think you're a company shill.

You mock the op by saying the items were "miraculously" listed on the GTN, as if that were a situation that wouldn't be common or usual, but simple logic shows that there would be nothing miraculous about it. Anyone who has a significant amount of wealth in SW:ToR and wants to deal in high end items on the GTN is working high margin, low frequency sales. It takes average and even above average players time to amass the kind of credits it takes to plop down 30,000,000 credits for a speeder (or 100,000,000 - 300,000,000 for a czerka crate).

People who work those high margin, low frequency sales are all about the uptime. Since deposit is refunded if there is no sale, there's zero opportunity cost to keeping an item up on the GTN as close to 100% of the time as possible. Anyone who works the high end of the GTN understands this and works it to their advantage. If that rich collector goes looking for a high margin item and you're slacking and yours isn't up, then either your competition gets the sale or the collector buys something they wanted less. Either way, keeping the maximum amount of potential profit on the GTN at all times is just about the most fundamental principle of properly profiting from the GTN.

So you come in here in your zeal to try and spin things in a pro-bioware/anti-complaining customer way (as you always do) and you make an illogical argument which strongly implies the OP is a liar, but simple experience and logic show that his statement matches up with what one would expect of a high end items dealer.

In other words, his statement is consistent, while you used innuendo and bad logic to try and defend bioware. There seems to be no reason for you to jump into this conversation. You had to make a poor argument and implicitly attack the OP. What dog do you have in this fight?

And you wonder why people are convinced you're a bioware exec or something.

Guess what -- OP still hasn't returned with screenshots.

I'm not defending anyone, and it really doesn't appear Andryah is at the moment -- but there is this lovely thing called due dilligence.

OP has an extraordinary claim that he is making. Ontop of that -- there is conflicting information is his posts. He has yet to answer the questions presented to him, or provide a screenshot of the ticket showing the information in question.

Therefore, the assumption is that he is incorrect in what he is posting until evidence is provided.

Andryah appears to be attacking the OP though, with very poor logic. By very definition, attacking one side is defending the other.
