The BBB is essentially a pre-internet yelp. People see Bureau and think it's some sort of government thing. It's not. It's a club that sells membership to companies to appeal to baby boomers and if you get enough bad reviews they will come knocking on your companies door claiming "we can help you fix this if you become a member $$$$".

The BBB doesn't do poo poo.

:doh:

There are lot's of people who only use businesses that are listed on the BBB. I agree it's a club they pay to get into, but at least it shows a business gives a poo poo.

Sigh,

Ok, I'll spell it out for you.

Go into the Issue Council, look at bug reports, ESPECIALLY the ones with low reproduction results. Try to reproduce the issues. IF you can, THEN CONTRIBUTE to that bug report by acknowledging the fact you can and have reproduced that bug.

Do this enough, over time, or even testing the current LIVE build 2.4 and posting new bug reports people may not have found also helps to get your name on the important list.

It's not rocket science people. I started 2 years after the kickstarter and I pretty much always get into PTU in the first wave. Although I'd like to be an avocado.

If you truly want to test, and get into the PTU test builds, then actually do something in the issue council don't just piss and whine about the fact that 3 other people posted the bug before you.

Star searching the other bug reports see if you can reproduce them in 2.4.1, and/or 2.5 when it goes live.

There are 2 types of players in every game and Alpha/Beta.

1. Testers - Don't complain about bugs, but rather try to figure out how they occur and what possible ways there are to fix them.

2. Players - Don't contribute to the improvement of the game, they often complain about the game being buggy, incomplete, or vaporware.

We all have a little of both in ourselves. But there comes a time when you need to stop being a player and start being a tester.

As soon as a build goes to PTU, I immediately switch out of Player mode, and enter Tester mode. My job is to find any and all bugs reported or unreported. Reproduce them, and/or fix them if it can be fixed from the client side.

The choice is ultimately yours.

When I got my refund they gave me crap about gifting, considering my ship was gifted to a KS backing goon who then gifted it back with LTI. I told CIG "I paid you $165 United States Dollars and I expect $165 United States Dollars to come back to me." I had to end up doing charge back because although they said they were going to refund me, they dragged it out for over two months.

Also, did :lesnick: really say "purported weight issues?" Is he that masterful in self-deception?

It is completely understandable for a company not to refund someone the entire melt value of their account in a system with gifting because of money laundering concerns.

A fair option would be to refund up to the amount paid by the account owner still on the account and return gifted items/credit to the accounts that gifted it.

Yeah well, talk to Derek:

"The co-creator of the project, aspiring actress Sandi Gardiner, who also happens to be the wife (something they hid for over three years, until I made it public) of Chris Roberts (creator), and the VP of marketing, is an abusive and vile person. She is an habitual liar, an academic fraud (multiple claims of earning a marketing degree from UCLA, or anywhere on the planet, have proven to be false), and as several sources have stated, someone with an abusive personality, to go with a short and volatile temper.

Quite recently, a backer browsing through Pornhub, spotted someone that looked like her. Later forensic analysis of the videos and images discovered, have indicated that she, using the name Mae Demming, was in fact the very same actress in the tickle porn videos (no, not this one) found on the site. They are still there. There are also images floating around claiming that she was also an escort. And there is rumored to be at least one porn video with her floating around."

From his latest blog post that just went live: http://www.dereksmart.org/2016/08/star-citizen-war-of-attrition/

The truth is out there.

Send them a second email, giving them a time period to respond. And also file complaints on-line with the FTC, LA DCBA and Cali AG. They respond really quickly once they receive copies of the complaint from government organizations. And yes, non-US can file complaints there. They may not be able to completely action them (like the DCBA), but it helps them build a larger case file.
