The designer never fixes anything, and we can only fix things after they've been proven to be broken, even then fixes are optional and people can choose not to play with them. And forget about those Play-Nice-Policies, Real Life doesn't enforce one, so someone elses content can totally screw up yours and most times you have no recourse. Real Life is messed up.

Never have had a ticket go unanswered and that is something I can't say about several games (*cough* DAoC, Shadowbane, SWG *cough*). I don't know the longest I've ever waited in WoW because I usually play WoW for 30 mins - 1 hour at tops. Even with that small play time SEVERAL of my tickets have been responded to before I've logged off. Every single ticket was resolved by the time I logged back in.<br> <br> Why so many tickets from me? I hate retarded names. I hate spamming gold farmers who think /tell and in-game mail are great advertising tools. Most of all I hate the repeated use of the word "rape". About WoW tickets.

I don’t think Kohs ever tried to justify a full $15/month but very often at least some revenue stream is required to pay your bandwidth and infrastructure costs.

A monthly subscription of $1 is still a monthly subscription. With that, is the developer obligated to provide monthly content? I’d say not.
