Note, this is a topic split from http://mwomercs.com/...-anything-poll/ to help separate these two different topics.

Dude, I've facedesked this forum so many times that my mouse has a lateral drift.
You just DON'T tell your customers that you do that.


I do not think that particular subreddit (r/mwo) can be defined as a base for our fans or customers any longer...

Rather, since the change of management, and the resulting diaspora of our active Reddit fans towards r/OutreachHPG and other Subreddits. r/mwo has essentially become an echo-chamber for those who have been banned from our services for repeated abusive behavior.

The abuse resulting in the original bans could range from anything from repeatedly advertising other services in an off-topic manner, directly insulting and harassing another staff member, spamming vulgarities, or so on. But generally speaking, there were always attempts to warn the player to provide feedback in a manner that is less toxic and those players who were banned showed an unhealthy desire with continuing anyways or were disingenuous with our staff at any time of showing remorse for their actions.

Putting aside the eternal argument of "who started it" which continues to put modern geo-politics into a circular stalemate... Our staff often cannot post there without facing a grab-bag of toxicity. This is compounded by those who continue to use alt-accounts to try and provide themselves with a disproportionate voice as well as to downvote bomb staff posts out-of-view. It is made even worse by the fact that those in this sub-reddit who show any active fandom are referred to as shills while, ironically, those who would seek to draw players away from our game or draw away staff from their work simply to insult them are being lauded.

While I have stayed silent on this particular subject in the past to allow the Community time to adapt and reset following those changes. I am dismayed by the results. Over 4000 registered subscribers at stake and the majority of those remaining active being forced to move elsewhere. In fairness, to the new overlords of r/mwo: The actual carrying out of takeover was indeed one worthy of an Inner Sphere story. It is simply a shame we are left a Periphery wasteland in what was once a Noble House. My sincerest hope in that regard is that I am proven wrong sometime in the future...Some basic moderation standards would go a long way so we can help address legitimate and constructive concerns.

In the meantime, however, PGI staff are being provided a general ComStar advisory against non-essential travel through that segment of space. We will continue to serve and provide for our customers, fans, and concerned citizens alike here on our official forums as well as with our visits to OutreachHPG.




Addendum: Well, this got some people's attention and even woke up a few inactives!

Indeed, r/mwo had around 4000 subscribers...While many have changed hubs with the change of it's moderation team and the removal it's moderation standards, in past months: Many others remain, and some have been painted as the targets of my messages in this thread. I'd like to take a moment to add an additional apology to those people: Whether they are an impassioned pilot who has never been intentionally abusive towards a staff member or another player, or whether they are a casual who has just stumbled into the crossfire.

To those people I would like to clarify where my frustrations lie...it is with individuals.

It is with those individuals who believe that negative feedback must exclusively be given with insult, and who demean those who try to provide critical constructive feedback without the urge to denigrate others. They may seem funny, but they ultimately aren't helping you or us when they replace legitimate feedback by brute forcing their way into each subject.

It is with those individuals who would declare that we do not communicate enough, and then either intentionally misquote staff by putting insults directed to the Community in our mouths, or downvote any links or information we provide to remove it from view. They aren't making prophet of a bleak future, they are attempting to fulfill it.

It is with those individuals who proclaim the need for freedom of speech and democracy when the moderators have addressed them for vulgar behavior, and yet happen to also run multiple accounts for the purpose of giving their voices more weight than any other player. Not only are they often shoving your individual and personal opinions further from our view to promote their own, but they have often tried to rally you against us each time we have quietly tried to bring them back to equal footing with other players.

It is with such individuals who see entertainment in manipulating others beyond the game. Those who have proudly admitted that they seek to waste the time of our Support or Dev staff or see the game burn. Such individuals are clearly not out to promote MechWarrior regardless of their attachment to past games.

Such things are upsetting: And I believe it should also upset those who who really consider themselves fans or simply out to better the game. The best news is there are numerous ways for fans to channel that anger into something positive in ways our team alone cannot. It is to keep talking, even in the face of those who would tell you to shut up. It is to report those who are abusive rather pretend it never happened. It is to respond to those who spread obvious half-truthes to give the actual word. Examples of all such behaviors have been demonstrated last night. I'm certainly not asking each player to shine sparkles and fandom on every thread, but simply to ignore their inhibition to post otherwise civil and constructive feedback.

To those who have provided feedback in the past and feel slighted by the fact that they were not directly responded to, or that their concerns were not addressed soon enough for their preference: I can only ask that you hold tight and keep your feedback handy. Please be ready to update it if relevant, and e-link it to us as needed as we make more of an active effort to take in concerns for the hot-topic subjects. Likewise, I appreciate the patience of those players who wait for their top concerns to appear in the pipeline.

Where, in the past, a retail paywall would allow staff to simply force such individuals out of context immediately with a banishment: The growth of social media and of freemium gaming means all games have had to adapt to such individuals.Nobody, be it a Doctor of Virtual Anthropology nor a "Fedora-wearing amateur" will be able to accomplish the job of speaking on behalf of the Community or the team if the players are being overrun and directed by such individuals as I have described before.

The individuals I have described to you before have been repeatedly addressed through private messages, support tickets and moderation and yet continue to spend the equivalent of a work week in attempts to harass and manipulate our team and players. To those players who are truly passionate and who can make a difference by speaking out with cool heads, I apologize once more for this matter, it's distraction from other feedback concerns, and any change in view of me it may have given you. I may indeed like to portay myself as an insane person, but it is said that the definition of insanity is trying the same thing multiple times and expecting different results. There will indeed be greater communication to all players just as much as there will be less priority and attention given to those toxic individuals. All we need is for you to keep talking or start talking. While my intent was to drive your activity to a safer place, it seems others have seen fit to portray it otherwise.

Thank you for sticking by and have a good day. <_<

That's all very nice, however...

"We want a great game. PGI wants a great game. We're all on the same side."
This. We may all have different opinions on how to run a game. Or how designs should change.
But on that very note I can only offer the words of wisdom -purportedly- from another well-regarded developer: https://fbcdn-sphoto..._66320409_n.png
Admittedly, we do more facepalming than laughing, because we do want to try to explain to players why certain ideas just won't work, rather than leaving them in the dark. Some will, however, just as often tell us that the sky is red, simply because we stated it was blue.

is what I'm referring to. The statement, taken in context with the image, implies that "feedback" however absurd, and regardless of the vehicle used, is openly mocked/"faceplamed" at the offices. I don't doubt this happens, but it should NEVER be known to your CUSTOMERS that this happens.
It doesn't matter how obscure the vehicle used was to convey the message, the message is out in the universe that "PGI mocks it's customers". Whether it considers them customers anymore or not, everyone is a potential customer, no matter how disgruntled or disenfranchised, as one would hope it was in the companies interest to win them back. I'm the perfect example of this as I do *not* reddit, unless something like the event the other night FORCES me to use it. However, I discovered YOUR quote via Twitter.

The continued marginalization of that vehicle, and the mwomercs forum, only continues to foster the view that PGI views it's customers with contempt, regardless of if that opinion is real or imagined.

I just wanted to be able to play with my friends, how ever many that are on at the time 2-12... You had my full support till this fiasco and since then any feedback I do give seems to go un-noticed or scuffed off with jokes (while you may think it's playful, it just shows a huge lack of respect). Unless it's about someone making a purchase and like clockwork it's retweeted and favorited. A lot of my complaints are not my own opinion but a collective of my peers who I don't see anymore on the weekends since the announcement of groups are the "worthless minority" my merc unit is pretty much a ghost town the only thing we were holding on to is group play... We still can kinda do it via sync dropping, but it seems to make us vs each other most of the time.

Then there is Paul... My biggest question to him he won't answer because he never checks twitter unless Russ tags him is. "How can you balance a game that you don't play?" Numbers aren't everything but if he does go by the numbers then what is the percentage of mech being used that have JJ?

I have been supportive of most decisions of PGI I'm flamed for it sometimes targeted in games now because of it.
I have never asked or threated a refund, but I have suggested I will stop spending money on services that don't allow me to play with my friends in a "balanced" environment. After all balance seems to be the reason I can't play with them yet unless you take a jump snipper with 2xPPC AC5 you can expect to be at a disadvantage in most drops.

Here is a big statement to think over.

If you keep ignoring the so called vocal minority (the people that care) one minority at a time. Eventually you're going to be left with nothing.

How about we take in the context of the thread too. The OP was in a r/mwo thread called "A Call to Reason"


That OP was downvoted 23 times for asking r/mwo to be more constructive. I'm more than willing to take ideas and feedback from constructive outlets of the Community, but r/mwo has proven itself to have residents who often either have unmanageably wild expectations or a desire to simply oppose anything we stand for, even if it means flipping opinions or simply poisoning the well and calling us liars whenever we change course or adapt.

Is PGI really that thin-skinned?
I generated more "likes" mocking the fact that a faction pride tournament is solo only, than the announcement for the tournament did. So by that logic,the mwomercs forum is equally mockworthy and should be marginalized as well. Wait, never mind, that's already a well known fact.

The takeaway is, you never, NEVER, let your customers know you make fun of them. EVER.

Especially when it's within a couple hours of the company's President acknowledging that a previous mockage of the playerbase, the infamous "Island" comment had blown up in his face.

Whatever, this place is hopeless

What the devs are facepalming is the absolute fatalistic, vitriolic hate machine on the forums. There are mature ways to provide critical feedback and show disapproval but the forums have generally become a dog pit of hyperbolic negativity that perpetuates more negativity and disinformation.

However, that is to be expected - this is online gaming. Also PGI chose this dev model.. its exposed to player sentiment as they develop it. I do not envy Niko's task. More and better communication is right path.

Edit: Definitely, there were mistakes made and improvements are sorely needed. Player fatigue is real and cannot be dismissed. When devs change the game that essentially prevents players from dropping together, that's huge. When multi hundred dollar packages are being hyped for a game that still has a pre-release amount of playable content, that's huge -cashing in on fan good faith.

The vision for MWO needs to be refreshed to the players. The dev model needs to be reexplained.

Oh Roadbeer... have you considered that there is no way to dislike your posts?

It is clear that disrupting and arguing is all you are really here to do.

Why don't you post some tactics? How about a great score you pulled off the other day? A funny incident?
Join the community and encourage new players? Instead, all I read is that you have been let down mightily and feel hard done by. Your posts overflow with indignation and high ideals for people that your own posts lack.

Suck it up.

Really? I play everyday, in all weight classes for a little over a year. I have a well developed sense of game balance.
This game has never been so well balanced as it is now.
Matchmaking is problematic but not broken like people would have you believe. Basically, players have good games and bad games. Sometimes there is synergy sometimes not.
CW, yep! Sure would be great! It is coming. Just not tomorrow. Check back later.
If PGI is unable to hold a player base then they will lose the game to Microsoft and it will be reborn another day.
No biggie.

Change is continuing and will be for the foreseeable

Well the point might be that we aren't thin-skinned. In one particular environment where some will take just about any opportunity to take pot-shots and deride us, we will indeed brush that off our shoulders. Not simply because they are exemplifying the kinds of behavior we moderate against on our forums/game to begin with, thus suggesting that we don't want nor need customers who intend to act in such a manner, but also because if we do try to please everybody with everything at once, especially those who simply have an axe to grind against us: We won't have much of a focused/fun game in the end so much as an over-ambitious/diluted monstrosity.


Dont try to change the subject and turn yourself into the Victim.

Bottom line
NEVER INSULT YOUR CUSTOMERS.


Thats like customer service 101, What would happen if a news site or a reviewer like Zero Punctuation got a hold of that.

Uh.. last time i checked all customers past present and future are "legitimate customers". Also when a representative from a company makes a statement in a public forum/board it is still an official statement of the company reflecting their opinion on such matter.

If that is the case why not be the bigger man (company) and just not acknowledge them? Bringing yourself down to their level to insult them insults the whole community. Directly or indirectly "basic standards" are standards that must be met on all levels

Then dont insult them, but discredit them. Make all official news about MWO only on MWO forums Rather then twitter and other forms of social media. Only then can you discredit and deny anything said that is not an official statement by PGI about MWO on the MWO website.

When dealing with a segment of people who thrive on toxicity: Controversy itself is often the best tool to get them to listen up and even get others pointed in your direction. r/mwo inhabitants may include a few individuals hellbent on down-vote bombing or misquoting anything useful we have to say, but they will directly quote and thus link people towards my profile for something they perceive as controversial, and lead those same people to this very discussion where the acknowledgements have been made earlier with regard to that subreddit.

Spoiler



These people are already banned from your services, so why would you want to get them to listen up when its obvious that they have nothing but scorn for you? These people may be hellbent so you say. Ok. That's definitely a possibility.

Let's use a metaphor. Let's say I am of a certain racial demographic that a group hates. It would serve absolutely no purpose in attending their hate meeting with the pure intent of spouting insults to irritate and anger them. They would only use what I said as further means to justify their feelings about my demographic, and the only thing I have accomplished is wasting my own time, and further alienating those in attendance who align with the hate group's perceptions/objectives/beliefs.

In other words, you're not winning anyone with vinegar laced back hands. You are simply further alienating them.

Grandma always said that you get more ants with honey. I'm sure you've heard that before somewhere. I read both subs, and HPGoutreach is not an official forum either. In fact, there was a recent attempt on r/mwo to constructively reach out to you and the development team. You in particular. Where that goes remains to be unseen, but even if you do think it is an "echochamber" for the dam- err banned...the fact is that there are many of us who are paying customers who post on both subs because we don't like being downvoted to hell for our views, whether they be cynical negatives or rose-tinted positives.

I'm not sure if you considered that. That we as customers split our posts between the two.

That last line containing a spoiler...Not a personal dig, but it almost comes across as the dunner-kruger effect...

Believe it or not, but there is indeed such a thing as negative publicity.

As mentioned, r/mwo won't be seeing official visits until moderation standard are introduced. Otherwise, I might as well send my men into the depths of 4chan, from where they might never return. (It took me several years to climb out of there)

Until then, that supposedly un-answered reachout was indeed already answered 8 hours ago in r/OutReachHPG here: http://www.reddit.co...rv0nv?context=3


I'm not sure if you're understanding me. Your account "PGI_Niko" is verified in the subs as being yours. That makes anything you post on either sub to be seen as official business or statements. So when you go into either sub and make a comment that offends most of the people reading it, it's not good business. Now. I'm not perfect. I definitely post a lot of crap on my university's sub that angers a lot of people, but I am not an employee of my university in anything other than a research capacity so my statements are not seen as indicative of the University's attitude or perspective on anything outside of my lab's work . Whereas you, who are both the community manager and someone who has personal contact with the devs on a daily basis, are.

If you want to make snippy remarks. That's fine. We're all human and sometimes telling someone to F*** off is really satisfying. I'm just saying it's not good business or smart to do it under an account that is recognized to be yours.

As for the response, wasn't aware. hadn't bothered to check reddit yet.

As I already mentioned in my longer answer to your opening questions:

Why does PGI choose channels like Twitter or Reddit over their own official forum?



Let's be real. The reddit forums, while not here and maybe a little difficult to find if you are not a redditor, are much easier to read in thread form without having to go through multiple pages, being able to look at more posts at once due to a smaller font, and being able to read more relevant content instead of reading 10-20 off topic posts in a row. In addition, users can upvote the questions they want answered the most to the top of the thread, so it is the first thing seen when you start to scroll down. Inversely, crap posts can be sent to the bottom so they don't have to be sifted through.

I would like to point out that I am an avid poster on r/mwo. So someone who has put hundreds of dollars into this game is no longer a customer in your eyes?

Anyone with the intelligence of a two year old can see this is why so many of those "non-customers" dislike PGI right now.
