Q u o t e:
Ladies and gentlemen, step right up!
This is about the snarkiest you will ever see our great Vrak get! Enjoy it while you can!
I wasn't trying to be snarky, simply make a point. This is a HUGE game, you can test something to death and find nothing wrong but as soon as 11.5 million players log in it can be a completely different matter all together. Bugs happen, that is the nature of games, especially online games and even more so with online games that add as much free content as we do. Our policies are in place because of the inevitable nature of these issues popping up.
If the inevitable issue does arise it takes investigation to find it. First we have to reproduce it, depending on the issue this has varying degrees of difficulty, we then need to find the exact cause of the issue. Once we do that we need to develop a resolution and one that doesn't interfere with anything else so some testing will be involved.
I'd love the magic screen that tells us the where, how and why but that isn't going to happen so we have to take the only road available to us.
Ok, well maybe I did leave a bit of snark in my post. No offense was intended though, I'm a direct person and directness usually comes off as sarcasm. :)
