Welcome to S HELL AKA as THE GREED (was the GRID)! Power Poll:

Why would someone pay $500 US a month if they had a problem with greed on the grid?

Do you need more than one region for personal space?

Just wondering.

Ok, you want to hear me? That's fine, I am going to tell you some:

$500, That' s what I have been paying to Linden labs, for a SERVICE, today I have problems with LL and the way they operate and treat me as well as the community.
Too many issues, which are accumulating.

I am customer, who give them money, in exchange I want something in return, right?

In RL you pay your rent? You pay for holiday? You pay for a loan maybe? Do you buy food?

Do you call me greedy now, because I have been paying them $500 per month?
My business is/was still clean, I helped people, many people, loads of people, since I joined in December 2006. most of these people are not the forum, but they will remember me, don't need to tell YOU, what I do with my money, that's my business, in return, I am not asking you what you do with your money, ok? If one day I receive $500
from you and you are not happy with my service(s), because I am greedy, I would allow you to be upset with me, most importantly, I will not ignore you or patronize you.

What counts is the way you do it, and how it affects people, does it make them happy? Are they happy to deal with you? Will they remember you? If the answers is YES, than you are doing something GOOD. If the answer is NO, then you should start to worry and listen and be proactive. Are you helping people, wether you pay $500/month or not? Do they benefit from you?

As a side note, joining the Muppet Show is NOT the answer, it's not going to achieve anything, and I mute people because I don't feel them. Period. I wish they had guts and do the same.

You know in RL, if I had an issue with you, and said ignore me, i don't want to see you again or talk to you ever... I wouldn't have to tell you twice, same the other way around.
Unfortunately, people in forums think that they are courageous/heros because they gang up on people behind their keyboard. Thats' ok, we are all different, I mute and I ignore, that' s the way I am on line, when I don't feel the vibe, I don't feel the vibe and that' s were it ends.
Some one I muted in SL managed to get my attention and used photoshop to write something on a prim so I could see what he had to say. That was creative and he apologized, and I accepted it, I understood that he regretted the incident.


Now back to greed = grid... why I pay such a big tier? Yes, in fact that is what I needed,
and do you know why? Mainly to do with the state of mainland (ruined, to my taste), so the only option for me was to go to a private Island, which is NOT cheap, ok?
I am a nature lover, and started to make my first custom terrain, and was even planning to extend it with open space/void sim, because I wanted to create a mini world, were I can be happy and enjoy the scenery, far from the mainland, and most of the time I am alone in SL, and very happy, I don't bother anyone, I don't grief anyone, I don't attack anyone, but I have and still am helping many people in SL, when business calls, and that' s the only time that I am not alone, people I help are happy, I offer(ed) various services,
and as long as these people are happy, i am happy, and at the moment, my business requires(d) that kind of tier. I do not harm anyone, and no one as called me greedy, because with me, everyone takes advantage, we all benefit, and I look after everyone.
Do I need to tell you what I can do in SL, or what I have done? My skills? I don't need to, I feel good about myself, people who know me best, will remember me and know my strengths and weaknesses, no need to prove anything to a forum. Especially now that someone like you is trying to twist my topic against myself... I am ok, I have been very useful to the community.

As a reminder, the post is against the user experience in SL, not about what YOU think about ME paying that much tier. Because I can reassure you, I speak, and I act, but what you don't know is that there many people like me out there who are packing up, without telling anyone... but that you didn't know. Back on topic, many account holders with that kind of tier = no good for SL and = no good publicity.

If it's a question to tell you what/how I operate, well, this is a personal one, I am not here to tell "how" I manage my SL, but to tell people that I am paying this much every-month, and LL is not respecting me and the customers, they are turning greedy.

Do you pay that much yourself? I guess not, so maybe you don't understand how I feel, and what I mean.

Once again, back on topic, I pay that kind of money, and I am not happy with LL and preparing to leave for good. Maybe, you don't have my experience so cannot understand how I fell, or most importantly What I can SEE. That most people Cannot.

Back to my phrase on the over post:
Do as I say, but don't do as I do, I wasn't referring to me!

Linden Labs makes money because of you and me, did you know that?
Then, let's say that in return you want to make money too... you can, yes...
Further, Linden Labs decides that they want to make more money and affect the economy, and further penalize Island owner, yes, they are responsible for the crash,
yes they know what they are doing.

No need to keep going around in a circle, wondering what is going on... why... who...
maybe... or.. you have got the answer. GREED. They take, we give... they want more...

open your eyes, one day you will remember me.

*spanks Colette*

You had to poke it with the sharp stick, didn't you?

Gina,

What is it you are asking? I cannot figure it out from the way the poll is worded. That's why I asked for pie.

kkthx.

Very well, use your imagination...

At least, for those of you who have the nerve to pick option 4, at least, be a real hero not a coward: Tell your reason(s) to the SL community, don't hide with stupid jokes, because once again you get caught for wanting attention. A forum is NOT to get attention because one/you feel insecure, miserable and have an ego problem... A forum is for people who have something to say, because of a real experience, a real situation, not like those trolls who spend their life on the forum... yet you never learn anything good from them. Classic and typical, the real muppet show - that is what you do best.

Speak for the community, if you can, ...............................


.......................You want attention, right, you want to be popular right? Well do something for the community maybe, and you will get the respect you claim.

.

The overall experience and vibe in SL, people keep complaining about the same topics, all the time... I have experience everyone of them, and being affected, several times...
I would not pinpoint a single issue, there are too many out there. Of course, there are people who spend their life on the forum, so they won't have a clue about the SL world, that could be the problem and reason for 1) not understanding, 2) making useless comment.

What can I say, I have spend LOADS of my time in SL since December, hours and hours, but I am NOT wasting my time on this forum (actually, at the moment I am, but it's for a reason).

There are assertive people, and passive people, and also a third type of people, people who fill the gap, basically you cannot achieve anything with the third type... the passive usually stay quiet. Maybe a fourth type, who are curious and interested. And sub type, who believe everything we tell them...

What do you think?

Hmmm

So your problem is -

Bad Service?

LL being Greedy?

High Prices?

SL Performance?

A sagging SL economy?

All of the above?

Your post goes all over the map, its hard to follow.

Bad service? Yes
LL being Greedy? Yes
SL Performance? Yes
A sagging SL economy? Yes
High Prices? That's a big subject, but let say that my money order should have been filled three days ago, I am not receiving anything and I can see it and I know why.
All of the above? Yes

AR? Does it exist?
Ticket support? Next month or two we might answer and/or fix it/some of it (depends if it suit us...)...

Oh I forgot, next year servers going open source... let's stuff our big little pocket right now while we can... then.. who cares, we will be loaded!!!

Surely anyone who says anything IS speaking for the community, being as how every single one of us IS the community.

Remind me what you have done for the community....ever...

You're still not making any sense.

You are still not saying anything useful here... and bitter you are...

Pal, the community is NOT you or some 28 members and followers on my ignore list, ok?
Google is there, the internet is big, the RL world is even bigger, and the press...

Remind me, who are you by the way? Do I know you?

That just proves that you are fool enough to talk about things you don't have a clue about. Do you know me? Obviously not, so never talk about people you don't know, you should be embarrassed, it's a foolish thing to do. I have lowered myself, low enough to answer your post, which I should not have. You sound jealous because you have been useless in SL. Take classes, they do exist.. but you know what, I didn't need any myself.




To you... maybe, but that's ok, obviously, your post didn't make any sense or said anything useful to me. i.e: I still haven't learn anything, apart that you too are a crowd follower.
You had your chance, you could have been a friend, but you were a ...

So, good bye , good luck, and off you go... on my ignore list.
