    Whether or not you agreed with WGTpizza or not,  he will be missed in the forums. He was approachable and would always answer questions even when he was boxed into a corner by WGT. I feel he at least opened up a the lines of communication, which is WGT biggest weakness.

    Moving forward I hope they find a replacement as fast as possible, and preferably more than just the one position. If not the communication lines will be back to very poor in keeping players informed (and this is not designed to denigrate Icons efforts).

    If you should ever read this exWGTpizza, you did make an good impression on WGT and for this I hope your replacement(s) continue your good work.Goodluck in your new ventures and should you come back to play, hit me up for a game!

    courteneyfish:
    Forums are designed to give users the chance to give their opinions on the thread in question. This one is about WGT Pizza whom I didn't get on with. I asked two favours of him and he replied that they were both too much trouble for him to deal with. I later asked him if he could check something out for me and he forgot. I have absolutely no problems with WGT Icon or anyone else employed by WGT and I doubt many more users of this site have given the company more praise than I. 

     

    Then I apologize Courteney,

     

    I had thought you were tossing Icon "under the bus"..

     

    Regards

    all kidding....and conspiracy theories aside.  Pizza seemed like a man of the people, by the people, and for the people.  As much as wgt policy would allow. 

    He had/has my respect and for doing a job that no one would truly wish upon themselves. 

    Congrats on your time here, you repped yourself well from what I could tell.

    Cheers!

    WGTicon:
    I just wanted you let you know that WGTPizza has left the company

    Thank you for the information Icon - always classy!

    (and I've not read a word against you here)

     

    Good luck to Pizza in any new occupation he may choose.

    I wish him all the best as an individual, may he grow in skills and personality, wealth and contentment.

    I wish for us a new function account helping Icon to care for the fori, with further knowledge and skills and capacity and allowance to support us better than the function account "WGTPizza" did IMHO.

    If wgt keeps going in the direction they are going in now they are gonna lose more than employees. I know more than a few that have quit or may play once a day now. Not fun to play for a custom avatar. Once i fight the urge  of wanting to see my name on the board ill be done. Oh next month i'm doing giveaways in the forums so ill see you then.

    This was inevitable.

    1. Because his own frustration came through with the lack of information he could give.

    2. Because he took things too personally.

    3. Because he wasnt cut out for Customer Service in the first place.  Although  he feels he has 'people skills' from his time in Restaurants.

    He tried there is no doubt and kudos for him for trying.

    When you have to deal with superiors who cant  'keep it classy' you can only take so much.
    From the community and from his own conscience.

    His enthusiasm and attitude to WGT and the community was one of 'getting the job done' alas his hands were tied.

    Unfortunately  he  couldn't provide the icing on his answers WGT asked for as succinctly as he might have wished.

    In his own words "Gamers are people, not test subjects."  May have finally been the catalyst for his departure. Are we not all feeling like test subjects?

    It was pretty apparent since his return from 'holidays' he took a back step in the forums, whether he was implored to or logic told him better, he took a stance of helping where he could instead of the hat he so heavily wore as the WGT correspondant.

    I gave him a lot of grief in looking for answers along with others and  possibly  more abrupt than most, he took it on the chin.

    I do sincerely wish him well in his new endeavour and hope the grass is as green for him as it seems.

    On another note....  WGTICON

    Has been here longer than I, seems to always  offer  help without predjudice & taint of ego and is generally cheery and happy.

    I know there has been mod's around before and one of them popped his head up here somewhere the otherday.. 

    But in my perception., WGTICON has been the most valuable since my internship.

    We need a Forum moderator for EACH section in WGT, until then, whomever takes on this daunting and intricate role of a complete overseer, will always eventually, leave.

     

    RIP Jason (aka WGTPIZZA) & thanks for your efforts.

    Well best wishes to Pizza wherever he is and I sincerely hope that he didn't leave because he had become worn down or disillusioned.

    There are too few mods and too little respect shown to the mods in my opinion. Ultimately that needs a change of policy at the top to be different in the future.
