View Full Version : GS customer service rant

I apologise in advance for the rant but I have to let off steam somewhere and this seems like a good a place as any.

Another excellent example of how NOT to treat your customers.

I was lucky enough to win the second ebow raffle at the Festival over 10 days ago and have still not been given the prize, despite being in game every day since to wait for it. I sat around for 3 hours that night waiting on Lirion to show but no joy. Even though I heard he literally dropped Tsin's at his feet straightaway the week before. REPORTed that night to ask how much longer I had to wait and was told by a GM that I should go, Lirion would not be showing ... gee thanks for letting me know earlier.

Khal then informs me on the forums that he was heading for Simucon the next weekend so not to expect it until his return on the Monday, which is fine, at least I knew not to hang around unnecessarily. Simucon has come and gone and nothing so I ASSIST just to make sure I'd not been forgotten.

A GH duly arrives to tell me ... wait for it ... there's nothing they can do but will refer me to a GM. Great, I'm in another queue. 4 days later Soraya shows and I get the following bullshit attitude. Okay I understand that Khal may be busy but please ... don't patronise me and tell me I'm lucky that I didn't forfeit the prize by leaving that night!

Soraya says, "Okay, I spoke with Lirion."

You smile.

Soraya says, "He says he does know that you won the raffle."

You nod.

Soraya says, "But since you left that night - he subsequently left for Simucon so...you will need to be patient and that he will definitely find you and award your prize."

You say, "Okay."

You sigh.

Soraya says, "Hey if people leave my raffles they forfeit the prize."

Soraya stares off into space.

You say, "I was around for three hours that night waiting and was told not to wait any longer."

Soraya says, "Im eveil, I think."

Soraya exclaims, "But, you will get yours for sure!"

You say, "Well I would have stayed around but was informed he'd left for the night."

Soraya says, "Don't know what to tell you about that, since I wasn't here - but."

Soraya says, "No worries - he is usually around quite often."

Soraya says, "And I'm sure the prize is worth it."

You say, "I'm sure it is."

You nod.

You say, "I've been here every day waiting."

Soraya says, "ALrite - I'll leave a note for him anyway - but, like I said I spoke with him so you are good to go."

You nod.

You say, "Okay thanks."

Soraya says, "I think he's returning any day now."

Soraya exclaims, "Ciao!"

Soraya gestures and a shaft of scintillating light from somewhere above pierces the ceiling and engulfs her. When the light recedes Soraya is no longer there.

Anyone think there's any mileage in sending feedback or is that simply a blackhole?

So you're expecting a very busy GM who is responsible for multiple aspects of GS, particularly Upsells, to drop everything he's doing for you prior, during, and after SimuCon?

You're really just essentially stuck waiting.

A better thing for you to do would be to EMAIL GM KHALADON at gs4-khaladon@play.net

Then you can negotiate the delivery of your prize.

.

You're really going the wrong way about the whole thing.

In the meantime, I'm sorry that you've been kept waiting 10 days, as that is indeed longer than it should be.

.

Perhaps a perk of the upcoming mail system is that GMs can mail items to players?

Davenshire
08-02-2007, 01:13 PM
Yeah Atlant made a good point. The GM's/hosts should have just told you to e-mail him. Best way to go about it.

Congrats on the bow, I am sure the anticipation will continue to build!

No, my complaint isn't really with Khal although honestly what would it take, 3 seconds to hand it over. My frustration at the time was with Soraya.

I didnt even know there was a second ebow auction... damn.

Anyways whats the actual deal? They say you left that night, you say you waited that night for 3 hours?

So the drawing was held while you were in attendance, and you waited 3 hours after said drawing, with him being a no-show? And they seem to think you should have waited longer?

Shari
08-02-2007, 10:28 PM
I don't know wtf Soraya's problem was, but she didn't seem to handle that very well. I'd have expected her to refer you to Khaladon's email, and then politely ask you if you needed help with anything else. (Which every GM/GH ask me *every* time I assist.)

On another note, if anyone has delusions of e-peen grandeur, its Khaladon. Yeah he does a shit-load for the game and makes sure to remind everyone of it outside the game. His arrogance does nothing but leave a sour taste in my mouth and I'm sure had I been at the con I would have said something that would have had me tossed out of the room.

I appreciate all that he does, but christ, get over yourself.

08-03-2007, 12:10 PM
Couldn't have said it better myself Shari.

I can't believe he has made you wait so long....

Wait, yes I can. I'd say waiting three hours AFTER a damn raffle is enough time.

But remember, just beacuse we pay 40 + a month for this game means that obviously we aren't entitled to good customer service. (Sarcasm)

Amber
08-03-2007, 02:45 PM
I remember when I won my bow at the ebon gate festival a couple years ago, I got mine in about 5 minutes. One of the folks (Chivalrous, maybe?) had to wait a week or so though, if I remember correctly. The bows are worth the wait, but I'd be disappointed to not get it on the day of the raffle myself. Being told that you should feel lucky not to have lost the prize for not waiting is ridiculous.

Now he will have reason(in his mind) to whine again that we are NEVER satisfied. NEVER...like asking for a reasonable thing is just being needy bitches.

It must be on Khaladon's time or you will be called on it eventually. Love to hear what he says if/when you actually DO get the bow.

Jenisi
08-05-2007, 03:14 PM
I'd be really fucking annoyed too, if he knew he was going to be that busy, he could have put up a sign when he made the raffle saying "You might not get your prize for weeks because I'm really busy" or SOMETHING. Anyway, any luck on getting your bow yet?

Outrageous of me to be upset isn't it.

And still no luck but I did email him as suggested and have had a reply so we'll see if something can be sorted out soon. I just wish Soraya had told me to do that in the first place! Then perhaps I wouldn't have felt I'd been left high and dry.

You draw back the string on your black oak longbow and a black witchwood arrow shimmers into view.
You fire a black witchwood arrow at a kiramon worker!
AS: +269 vs DS: +102 with AvD: +23 + d100 roll: +90 = +280
... and hit for 70 points of damage!
Well aimed shot, punctures upper arm!
The kiramon worker is stunned!

**Noxious liquid from your witchwood arrow showers the kiramon worker which falls to the floor and large, oozing blisters begin to form.**
The arrow splinters into tiny slivers.

<<(Yes, most GM's have other jobs aside from just working for Simu)>>

That doesn't make being a GM less of a job.

And let's not forget this:


Soraya says, "But since you left that night - he subsequently left for Simucon so...you will need to be patient and that he will definitely find you and award your prize."

Yeah, he was obviously working real hard at that job he cares about that has nothing to do with GemStone, right?

Ilvane

Oh I agree that Soraya was rotten, no doubt.

I think everyone is allowed to have a vacation Bob. When I did go to Simucon myself, I took a week off of work and took my 4 days in Missouri. Most people have vacation time.

I wasn't even defending Khaladon, I just said it was nice she was finally able to meet up with him. Oh and I think the fact that Simucon happened made it longer than usual because he was away. Makes sense, in my head anyway.

Jeesh, you guys sure like to start something out of nothing.

I think the point is:

1. Khaladon held a raffle.
2. OP wins raffle.
3. Khaladon couldn't be bothered to take 5 minutes to award the prize because he was so busy with ultra important other things when he was really just going to Simucon.
4. Soraya says OP is lucky she didn't forfeit the prize for leaving after sitting around waiting for 3 hours.

Smells like rotten ass to me, mainly Soraya.

Well, and Khal ... don't forget that he dropped Tsin's at his feet almost immediately.

If the person is there, or even in game, when they win ... just fucking give them what they won. It's really fucking simple.

I don't know about anyone else but I tend to tie up any loose ends before I take a week off of work. Why should my client's have to suffer because im on vacation?

He could have easily logged in and given it to her before leaving for his vacation. Both the GM's in this scenario were very good example of how to deliver BAD customer service. Making someone log in at 11:00pm? Are you kidding me?

Yeah it's just a game but its a game some of us spend ALOT of money on and they need to deliver better service then this.

If I lost my visa card and my bank told me to come down to the office at 11:00pm (or 4:00am for that matter) I would be very very pissed off.

Apparently since their wages are next to nil they feel they are 'volunteers' and don't have any company standards to go by.

My statement was that even volunteers at the Hospice I work for have to live up to certain expectations and company standards AND they do have a boss to answer to for their actions and time spent.

He threw a complete fit and stormed out of the conversation at that point stating that we are "NEVER" satisfied no matter what they do.

The fact that you have no fucking clue what or why, yet you are still here making excuses for downright rudeness, shows you up for being a bit or a prick, really...well a lot of a prick actually...hmmmmm...how about a complete turd?

If she has sent messages via other GMs/GHs and he has not responded, that's called ignoring her. It's rude. It's unnecessary, especially when the whole of the interaction is done on the internet anyway. How long would it have taken to send an email to say "Sorry, Im a fat cunt with an over-inflated sense of my own value, I am unable to get this to you just now because I need a couple of weeks of e-peen strokage to see me right, Love Khaladon"?

Considering he's a millionaire in rl, that's a pretty piss poor excuse. Maybe the reason people are "NEVER" satisfied is because he acts so arrogant and thinks everyone should bow down and lick his ass all the time.

It's not a conspiracy; it's a conflict of interest. Since everyone knows your stance and plan of action on all things Khaladon, the only participation you should have in threads involving him should be moderation only. You have a duty here first to moderate and you've skewed that very easy to see line into obscurity. Even if no one knew your position, you should still have the professional integrity not to include yourself in these conversations since you've already admitted to moderating in them based on your bias towards Khaladon.

However, I suppose I can see the conspiracy because of the inconsistencies in how moderation is executed. So, maybe you're right and it is a conspiracy... [cue dramatic music and roll eyes]

Comparing your schedule to a GM who's JOB is to work on the game, including giving out items from his raffle which he arranged, is laughable.

How do you know he wasn't stuck at work? He could have very well been. (Yes, most GM's have other jobs aside from just working for Simu)
Your sarcasm sucks. People don't really give a rat's ass if he was balancing knives on his ass while blowing a seal and getting paid $1 million dollars to do it, when people expect delivery from a service they pay for, they better get it. Spin it all you want, it was irresponsible behavior on his part.

I think to assume either way that he was ignoring her or otherwise is pretty silly. He DID ignore her. He completely blew her off for two weeks. But that's okay because he's a nice guy. He shouldn't have to obligate his duties which he chose to uphold. Fuck that. Fuck it with a big stick.

I think everyone is allowed to have a vacation Bob.
Yeah, after you finish what you started at your other job. And it's HIS company, amirite? He can easily tell himself, hey boss, I'm gonna go take care of something at my non-paying job for a second, yeah sure no problem.

When I did go to Simucon myself, I took a week off of work and took my 4 days in Missouri. No one cares about your vacation. You weren't supposed to deliver an item to someone that was promised it at the winning.

Most people have vacation time. And don't go til they finish their fucking job.

I wasn't even defending Khaladon Yeah and I have size 20A boobs

Oh and I think the fact that Simucon happened made it longer than usual because he was away. Makes sense, in my head anyway. Yeah because there are no computers at this fucking thing and couldn't possibly have handled it there either, right? Heaven forbid someone log into GEMSTONE at a GEMSTONE convention.

Jeesh, you guys sure like to start something out of nothing. I know, because GMs are so innocent and pure like snow and Ilvane! Yeah and Khaladon walks on water with his ass, where your head tends to be a lot lately. Give his girl a turn.


I think I covered it all.

Heh, I'm not going to even bother with that.

Anyway, there is more than one side to every story, but god forbid anyone ever think of that.

I think Elvenlady even said, there was a pretty big time difference between them, and I don't think that can be ignored as part of the reason it might have been the issue on the first night when she won the raffle, because of the big difference in time.

What happened after that point is annoying, sure. If you won an item, of course you want it that night and hope that someone will make that happen, but when the person doing the raffle went on vacation..well, sometimes things happen.

She waited around for hours after the auction finished, just waiting for him. I believe he was in game on another one of his merchants when the raffle went off, Serpantis I think, but he never showed to her afterwards to deliver the prize. The time differences has jack shit to do with that.

You know, i've been a member on these boards for only a few months and already I can see your true tool, Ilvane. Do you think that you could remove your lips from Khaladon's cock for about two minutes to actually say something worthwhile? Seriously though, what do you get out of making up all of these lame excuses for him?

Oh and, as far as his vacation... Simucon began Wednesday evening at the earliest. The festival (and his raffle) ended Sunday night. Please make more excuses, thx.

Anyway, there is more than one side to every story, but god forbid anyone ever think of that.There are also facts. They include but are not limited to these:
1) Elvenlady won a bow.
2) Upon winning and waiting around for three hours, Elvenlady did not receive her bow. She had to be told by a different GM that she wouldn't be getting her bow that night.
3) Ten(!) days later, Khaladon is aware of the situation as he tells her about him going to SimuCon.
4) He does nothing (relevant) upon his return.
5) It take Elvenlady assisting and emailing him as well as waiting another eight(!) days from point (4) to finally get her bow.

Khaladon was able to get to a computer at least once in this period, yet he did nothing to resolve the situation. His behavior is inexcusably unprofessional. 17 days and he couldn't hand the bow off to someone else who wasn't as furiously busy as he?

You're welcome to propose that people are just being hardasses about this, but neither your propositions nor your attitude in any way influence the facts of the matter.

He doesn't mean to be vicious with his comments, I'm sure. He's a pretty funny guy. And maybe IC with a merchant he says things that might be taken wrongly, but when he handles referrals he's always professional. I know because I've had him help fix a bunch of items I've had.

I know some people just have it in for him, but geez. He really does try to always bring us the best. I'm sorry everyone has a lot of hate over this.

When I say his comments, I don't mean anything he says or does IC. I've never had a problem with him in IC and his characters can often be amusing.

Also, I didn't have any issues with him out of the game until this premium festival. Sure, I found some of his posts on the officials condescending and obnoxious, but it was easy enough to just skip over the ones I found to be in poor taste (customer service-wise).

So I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have anything "in" for him. All I know of him is how he acted recently, most notably having a shit fit over that mess with Tsin's white ora auction win, and then basically giving a big fuck you to everyone in prime because some people complained about how he reraffled the item.

He's a GM, he knows you can never please everyone, in fact I believe i've seen him post as such on the officials. So why does his skin get so thin when some people complain? Why would he take it out on everyone else in prime who didn't complain, and who NEVER complain?

I'm tired of hearing how we take advantage of him and how we're never appreciative. If he doesn't like his job, he should quit. Sure, the game may suffer, but if he's so fucking unhappy then quit the crybaby routine and do something about it.

To me, saying that because he does alot of work on GS he should not be called on a mistake is a cop out.

Assuming all is as was presented there was a customer service goof up here.

While it is not the end of the world, it should also not be dismissed due to what some may see as a good track record or good effort in most areas.

Khaladons man behind the gm is a successful accomplished professional or so I have read and as such should not be nearly so fragile as to be unable to handle some criticism and understand that even though there are some customers who you will never please, there are also times that the customer has indeed been slighted and this appears to be one of those.

Are you saying Elvenlady may have left out some detail or lied about the timeframe this all took place? Did she in fact get contacted by Khaladon early on and she didn't say so? Was Khaladon bleeding out of his eyes the couple of days prior to Simucon, got better, went, came back and eyes started bleeding again?

Seriously, just asking, where is the discrepancy here? You really mean to tell me that getting an item late is excusable?

It IS his job to finish what he starts. The whole 'write feedback' thing is no good. Feedback was a joke everytime I've written anything to it.

Write feedback, Antavian shovels whatever you write directly to the GM you complained about and then you have them in your face. Why bother, just take it and tell the GM in question yourself IMO.

I'm not sure what you want me to tell you here Ilvane, I posted the facts and the reasons for my frustration at the time. What would I gain by misrepresenting them?

Short of adding links to the relevant posts I made on the officials beforehand, a copy of my subsequent emails to Khaladon and his reply or even a log (had I made one which I didn't because I didn't feel it would serve any purpose) of my final interaction with him the other morning, I have nothing more I can add really. I was merely pissed off with the way Soraya handled the matter and I have no real gripe with Khaladon.

Aw man c'mon this is such a cop out. So what if it wasn't an item she had previously?

And if you say game balance that's bullshit because this game doesn't promote pvp. Even if it did, some people SHOULD be tougher than others.

Some perspective on waiting:

1. I won a flippable crossbow with a custom alteration from Elbrion.

Never got it.

Elbrion is no longer on staff.

2. I won two custom loresongs of my design on shadowdeath weapons from Thanthyl.

Never were implemented.

Thanthyl is no longer on staff.

3. I won a contest held by Ozias's NPC at Ebon Gate THREE YEARS ago in Platinum.

The Prime winner got their win within the year. I never got mine.

Ozias is no longer on staff.

Moral of the story = sucks to be me! :)

But SGMs don't even have to run raffles really or offer services at events, that's just extra. So maybe you'll get your wish.

Sure, they don't have to do anything. Keep in mind though that it's the upsells team's job to make Simu extra money by selling all of these extras. If they want to convince enough PAYING customers to PAY EXTRA for their festivals, then they need to do their job and do it well, and quit the crybaby sand-in-the-vagina bullshit.

Oh and, my wish isn't for GMs to quit doing anything. My wish is for GMs to do their job all the while providing decent customer service, and not taking their issues out on the many because of the whining of the few.


The second he started the raffle though he took the resposibility of coming through..

Imagine if they upsell team created a festival, sold tickets for it, taking extra cash, promised all sorts of goodies and prizes... then come time for the festival to start they were like "well, you know SGMs don't actually have to run festivals, you guys are lucky you're even getting one..."

It's a job, and they have paying customers, they need to act professional, even if they are being "generous"

A-fucking-men. It's a job, and we're their paying customers. They need to act professional and do their job, and provide us with what we pay for. Why do people constantly lose sight of the fact that we PAY FOR THIS GAME? Gimme a break. If Khaladon were to pull that BS in any other situation (the bit with Tsin's white ora), he would have lost his job and/or his paying customers.

SGM's don't have this kind of thing in the job description at all. Khaladon does his thing and also does extra work to make items, do raffles, etc..and does upsells. He pretty damn well does his job.

Does this change that he probably should have gotten the raffle done sooner, no. But he does work his ass off for the players.

I wrote out a really awesome example as a response to this post, but I decided it would be wasted so I'll just write out my main point:

How do you know there is not more to the story?Anything else in the story is irrelevant. He had access to a computer and GemStone and chose (chose) not to get Elvenlady her bow in some way. If that wasn't bad enough, this was with the knowledge that she'd already been waiting more than a week.
Imagine I might actually be trying to see both sides.Continually saying this in no way influences what happened. That Khaladon failed isn't really a huge problem, all he has to do in my book is come here and say "Yeah, I blew it, sorry Elvenlady" and that's that. The idea that his actions are defensible is what's not going to be tolerated (apparently). Being his friend, you don't have to pile on, but at least don't insult yourself by carrying on this charade.
Like I said, I hate waiting myself. But least he got the bows approved to be released in the first place. From what I heard, there were to be no more ebows ever released for awhile.
But he does work his ass off for the players.See, this is the thing though. Khaladon clearly didn't get this approval because he cares so much about the playerbase: if he did he wouldn't have taken three weeks to get it delivered to this particular player. I don't have enough information to deduce his actual motivation, but it's flatly incoherent to claim he's doing this for us.

Why should he after reading all this crap? I certainly wouldn't. Perhaps privately but this is certainly not the place I would do it. And if Elvenlady really had a complaint, why bring it here? She clearly knows that he would be ripped on. Why not just express to him in an email her disappointment or to Simu?

I don't blame him for not saying anything on here. And I'm not defending him, I just think its lame to bring customer service complaints here rather than taking them up with Simu first. If then it is not taken care of, cool. Who really cares.

Oh and as far as being professional, like any of us have always been spot on and never made a mistake. At least it was taken care of and I don't see anything about Khal being a snot about it. Khal's not god, so maybe he can make some mistakes too. What's the big deal? It's the other GM who was rude to her that I would complain about.

Uh, she did! She e-mailed, assisted, got a referral. She came HERE because she was pissed off about the whole situation and about Soraya, and she wanted to vent. She obviously didn't come and post here because she thought Khaladon would then magically appear with her ribbon-wrapped bow.

The longevity of this thread has a lot more to do with Ilvane's veiled defense of Khaladon than with the initial complaint of the shoddy customer service provided by Soraya. The majority of the bashing is not even directed at Khaladon or even Soraya. It's directed at Ilvane's misguided and ignorant attempts to justify something that's clearly wrong because of her innate desire to defend Khaladon who is obviously a very dear, special and close friend. In fact, I'd venture to say that any references to either Soraya or Khaladon at this point are to illustrate just how preposterous Ilvane's logic is.

Actually, I was just joking and that is why I haven't brought it up before. I'm not going to spend my time getting frustrated over trying to track down this alteration. I've done what I could. Big deal at this point. The excitement of the moment has been lost by now anyway. I have already managed to get the 5 alterations I wanted done since then. I play the game to enjoy myself, not get all bent out of shape if things don't always go my way. Do you think if it was a big deal to me that I would have waited until now to say anything to anyone outside of Simu about it? I have things in rl to get frustrated over than a few alterations. I'll spend that energy on that.

And I will never kiss Simu's ass. There is no reason to do so. I don't see where you get that from. The way I see it is that it was this GM, not Simu who promised me something.

I'm sorry, yes, I was a little miffed. But I let it go. I use those words I said in jest. It just clearly does not translate well in text. Sorry, but it has been since February. I would have really done something about it by now if I really cared.

And yes, I agree with you. GMs are representations of Simu, but I have had more positive experiences than negative ones so I choose not to focus on this.

On topic, Simu customer service via GM's is seriously lacking for the most part. The SGM in question just needs to retire as he just can not get a thick enough hide to tolerate any kind of criticism without a hissy fit being involved.

So done with this bull. Time to um..let the thread die.

AngelaThey are not going to stop responding to you, obviously, as it provides them a source of entertainment as it's been shown time and again. So, if you truly are done with the thread you'll stop responding to the posts. If you don't... well then, ya know, the thread ain't dying anytime soon and you know this.

I don't really believe for a second this thread was caused by me saying I was glad she was able to get her item, and they were able to make the schedule issues they were having work.

I don't believe that either. What I do believe (mainly because it's true) is that it was because you had your head up Khaladon's ass, not because you congratulated Elvenlady for getting her bow.


All that's left in this thread is someone to call me fat. :smirks:

I'm not really the type, but since you asked for it...

Taking it here for either GM mentioned in this thread would be a disaster, especially around here.It's a good quote you have in your sig. It's even better when people live up to it, which is what Khaladon could do.

If a GM were to bring it here with a thread topic such as this, they better bring their A-Game.

They (GM's) cant hide behind post-hiding (well, Khal might have a shot with Ilvane still being a moderator) and the nazi-like TOS thats found on the official forums.

It's things like this that make me miss these boards, although not GS. I've yet to find another forum that can match the vituperativeness of this one in any of my other interests. You guys still make me smile whenever I drop by to read.

It's not very often I have to go to dictionary.com to see if I'm being insulted or not. :D

>>Your sarcasm sucks. People don't really give a rat's ass if he was balancing knives on his ass while blowing a seal and getting paid $1 million dollars to do it, when people expect delivery from a service they pay for, they better get it. Spin it all you want, it was irresponsible behavior on his part. Crystaltears

LOL! That one was hilarous! Thanks for a good laugh, laughter is a great thing. heh.
