No more coffee for wayne!
Easy boy...No one is an idiot here... Using all caps and 17 exclamation
points only makes you look like a weiner.

You have a point, but please take it easy.

DON'T /PETITION IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are two different groups of people that work on Verant, GMs and
Developers. GMs are there to help you with in-game problems. They cannot
modify the database or give you a different item. They don't even interact
with Developers. GMs cannot fix this type of problem.

There are /feedback and /bug commands to take care of these types of
problems. These commands will be routed to the Developers who can fix the
problem. Or email your complaints to Verant directly.

When you order pizza delivery, and your pizza is running late, who do you
call? You probably dial 911. Instead, you should think about who can
actually help you with the problem. Call the pizza company.

Why should this matter to us? Well if IDIOTS fill the petition queue with
RETARDED petitions, it takes the GMs longer to handle real petitions. How
would everyone on Innoruuk feel if their petitions took 30 minutes longer to
handle because some IDIOTS felt they could get the database changed by
filling up the petition queue?

I understand your frustrations, but don't frustrate everyone else with your
actions.
