  Sort ya shite out WGT, this is getting old. Twice today I suffered from this playing multi-player games. 

  I thought it had improved but got 2 DQ's today and you can't even submit a bug report as you are spinning somewhere in cyberspace. 

  I am guessing you do not give a flying chit about the PC platform now, and it will not improve. 

  A very very disgruntled customer....

  A very faint glimmer........why are they only now going to look into this issue........remind me how long it has been going on for.

  Like coming soon - how long is that piece of string?

  Edit - and look into does not mean fix.

  I seriously doubt these numbnuts have the skills to screw in a light bulb.

  *bursts out laughing*

  A new department, R&D, to join "QA" in hiding the "New Ideas" project?

  And who has ever changed anything by looking?

  Except in your name, Scott, hope is futile here!

  About the light bulb:

  Q: How many of a certain infamous <insert your nation> tribe are necessary to screw in a light bulb into a ceiling lamp?

  A: Five!
  One to climb on a table and hold the bulb towards the socket,
  Four to lift and turn the table!

  Whoever gets handed the task of looking into it should heed the the words of Nietzsche -

  “Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you.”

  At least they have acknowledged the problem exists.  : )

  This is not a twelve-step-program, we deserve a reliable fix yesterday!

  We know that they can undo things that they put in place. The coins are the newest example of that. When bug reports come in immediately after one of their downtimes, it's when they have to act. Undo that last "update/upgrade" and find what went wrong, Do not just put a band-aid on it, they're more likely to open old sores.

  It's the players that provide the band aids with workarounds. WGT don't even bother.

  Yep, pretty warped really. In fact incredibly warped, that as the paying customer you have to come up with solutions just to play.

  So WGT, perhaps if you spent less time with stupid clashes and no doubt a coin system that will be holier than the Pope players might actually play more.

  I played a game with mkg335 yesterday - it was the first multi-player game he had played in a while due to constant crashes....luckily we finished that one with no problem (apart from the thumping he gave me lol), but this is often the case.

  Players play less or not at all. Good business plan WGT?

  & alosso - LMAO - but you forgot to mention, they were turning the table in the opposite direction.
