			Well, that was nice of the the Role-Players! Kudos.

			people gotta eat.  especially if you are pulling the hours these poor saps probably are.  I don't think you would want to be around those people right now.  I am sure the BO is pretty strong.

			Fix up my $15 refund then enjoy pizza pls.

I agree. I feel a little mocked in all honesty.

			Well, I just ate some sort of breadsticks because of this. Carbine, you're making me (stay) fat! è.é

			Just ate a giant double cheeseburger oozing with cheese... Much better than pizza. Got the itis now...

			This is bad form. Yes people have to eat. But posting it while your whole game is in shambles. I dont know, its bad form to me.

Chill out...
 
All they did was say thanks to the players who bought it for them and if anything y'all should be happy they had a quick meal brought to them. Would you rather they get a normal hour long break and go out for lunch?
 
 
I'm just ansy as everyone else to get in and play, but pissed off, hungry devs ain't gonna do the job any better or faster.

			Carbine/Wildstar...You have a LOT of people who want to love your product.  Like.  A LOT.  if you had a bad game, no one would bother being negative...  you'd be Shadowbane.  We'd be like "well, i guess i can't be a minotaur. oh well".  You have an AMAZING product with A LOT of potential, but it's almost like...  no one cares about being a company over there.  You're a hipster dreamer that somehow stumbled into financial support, but now no one knows how to be in charge of a business.  When you're struggling and your "customers are angry" YOU DONT POST PICTURES OF A PIZZA PARTY.  EVER.  It's cool that someone understands how much stress you must be going through and offered moral support.  THATS AMAZING.  DO NOT POST PICTURES OF IT ON TWITTER.  Whoever runs your social media PR needs to be fired, immediately. The website for a show I run went down and my customers couldn't buy tickets...  I didn't reply with "HERE'S ME AND MY BROTHER HIGH FIVING OVER SOME BEERS!"This is why you fail.  Not because bad things happen.  Not because you have a bad game.  NOT because we all don't understand that even the best laid plans can have unexpected flaws...  but because your company doesn't seem to take itself seriously and almost appears to mock its loyal supporters.  I can only hope I'm not setting myself up for heartbreak for the second and a half time, but if I am, this will be such an unnecessary tragedy.  If even ONE person in charge had been like "hey don't post this picture of us laughing, eating pizza", i think, probably, the game would be up and playable.  But there's no leadership, and that's the worst, un-debatable part of it all.

			I just want them to get to replying to my ticket about suspension.  Apparently I was banned last August for 3rd party exploits by someone that got hold of my cancelled account.  Its been 2 days since I gave them the necessary info and they've looked at it 3 times (The timer reset, that's how I know) but haven't responded.

So post on that fansite, saying thanks. 
 
It was a really stupid PR move.  
 
I get people need to eat, but when your customers are frustrated, you don't offer fuel to the fire.

Verius,
 
So you think they're operating as an efficient company?

Chill out, loser. They're giving thanks to a fan-site that delivered them lunch so they can continue working. They're not mocking their loyal supporters, they're thanking them.

EXACTLY, DirtGoblin.  That's my point.  You send a private thanks...  but you don't post that before even TRYING to explain the problem.  I would be fine if they said "Hey guys... we ran into some major problems with the server" followed by some half-assed DDOS excuse...  BUT DONT POST A PICTURE OF A SWOOP DUDE SMILING BEFORE YOU AT LEAST LIE TO ME!  <3

			I had quite a laugh at this.

I'm just reading this like:
 
"I'M SALTY, SO THE DEVS AREN'T ALLOWED TO HAVE FOOD AND ADVERTISE THE SITE THAT GAVE IT TO US. IF I'M IN PAIN, THEY HAVE TO BE IN PAIN TOO."
----
			This isn't about anyone at W* getting enough to eat or drink or sleep or kids throwing tantrums. Its about pride in workmanship on a product that just doesn't work right now. Laugh that off if you want but the fact still stands. Would you hire the auto mechanic to work on your car knowing they had such workmanship skills?  Respect is earned.

You're missing the entire point, but I suppose with the quality of your past posts this is to be expected.

but seriously why the hell are so many people angry about the Devs eating pizza
how freaking long does it take to eat a couple of peices of pizza and get back to work not long 5 min 10 mins tops i bet most of them went right back to their desks with pizza in hand you guys only see the picture of them getting pizza you know nothing about what happened 3 or 4 mins after these pictures were taken so calm yourselves down and be happy go watch a movie or have some pizza maybe eventually they will fix the game and we will be back in online and good to go :)

It's a stupid PR move to thank a community who wanted you to have some food while you're working on the issues?
 
I don't think you actually know how PR works.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
I will say this to you...  if more customers agreed with you and I'm wrong... this would not be a F2P "relaunch", and we'd be chatting about what we might want for a new/first expansion.  These are the responses "I" gave my friends a year ago... when they did this the first time.  But, please, defend this as a positive use of social media.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Again.  They could just as easily thank them on Wildstar-Roleplay's forum, where there is a thread about ordering them a pizza lunch.  Devs DO post on fansites, in case you didn't know.
 
The stupid PR move is to show people not working when things aren't operating properly.  
 
Again, yes, people need to eat.  Yes, this is a cute and fun thing.
 
But it adds fuel to the fire of mouthfoaming neckbeards (much like yourself for attacking the people in this thread) that is just unneeded.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
No, You guys are missing the entire point.
 
If i was in their PR department, i would also publicly advertise the website that just gave us free food. It's common sense to say thank you in public when websites give eachother free stuff.
 
Everyone does it, regardless of what is currently happening.
 
 
Just because YOU think the world should stop for this, doesn't mean everyone else agrees.
----

{| class="blockquote"
Their world SHOULD stop for this.  This game is a direct source of income for them and as someone who has given them part of MY income, both in support and as a consumer, I expect certain things.  One, communication.  I want to know what they're doing to make ME, the consumer feel like I'm not wasting my money.  Two, customer service.  This is where the whole pizza party thing rubs me the wrong way.  I appreciate a certain level of understanding to my frustration as well as the frustration of others during this matter and posting pictures of a pizza party, no matter where it came from, while all of this is going on just makes it seem like they aren't taking this issue seriously.  It does not give me hope for the game and it makes me lean more towards regretting my decision to fund their business.
 
Yes yes, I know.  "blah blah blah this is how MMOs and most games are blah blah blah you aren't entitled to shit".  I'm just a frustrated customer whose looking for some answers.

Hey Everyone -
 
I'm locking this one up.
 
We definitely understand your frustration. We currently have everyone we possibly can working on getting the issues fixed so we can get you all into game as soon as possible, but they have to eat, and on occasion go to the restroom. :)
