I plead for someone who is more senior to review this matter.
I say again.... it is YOU who have violated YOUR "Obscene Vulgar and
Inppropirate policy(s)." Please correct me if I am incorrect. I will
quote them again:
""""""
* Obscene/Vulgar
This category includes both clear and masked language which:
- Is an inappropriate reference to human anatomy or bodily functions
- Is pornographic in nature
*If a player is found to have used such language, he/she may:
Be given a warning
""""""
.....There was NO warning and NO reference to human anatomy.
.....I ask again, if I say the word "bush" in game while referring to a
'plant' or 'being lame' will I be punished?
.....And I ask that you forward my emails to a manager or someone in a
position to think not someone that sends form letters mindlessly.
As an end note, you have completely turned me off WoW and reconfirmed
my doubts about Blizzard. I purchased Everquest2 this afternoon
because of the annoyance and lack of response you have given me, not
to mention the queues. If you are trying to drive customers away -
well done.
I intend to follow this through until you "make good on your words"
(see quote above).
PLEASE FORWARD THIS ENTIRE THREAD TO SOMEONE AUTHORIZED TO MAKE
DECISIONS. I will be calling on Monday to follow up (despite the fact
that my suspension ends Sunday). I would appreciate a real answer not
a minimum-wage-form-letter-go-away answer.
