So if someone should happen to steal my car because someone else stole
theirs I should blame the original thief and not the one who actually stole
my car? What kind of f'd up logic is that? The wrongful actions of one
party do not excuse the wrongful actions of a second party in any case
unless you are claiming Verant suffered from extreme emotional distress and
was unable to act coherently. Not that I'd doubt that to be true all that
much. Their typical responses do seem to show an extreme lack of maturity.

Yes we read the disclaimer. After the wipe it was changed to include player
wipes, before that it only talked about downtime, lack of gm's, etc.

If the people on the test server were testing even 1% of the time they were
playing, then that is a service which Verant has just tossed to the wind.
Verant didn't give these testers any recompense for any test time they put
in. Any testing they did whatsoever was totally gratis.

Since there are no gm's on test, someone could well have reported the bugged
drops five minutes after it started. By the time someone at Verant got
around to looking at the bug report 10 hours would have easily passed. I
know for a fact that several bug reports I sent in were never acted upon and
the bugs I reported were propagated onto the Live servers two, even three
days later. At least two of them were then suddenly fixed with emergency
patches in Live after thousands more people complained about the same bugs
that I know for certain were reported in Test. Point is, Verant is in no
way responsive about checking bug reports or fixing them.
