WoW Customer Support Does Your Math Homework

[shreedder]

No wonder I had to wait over a week to speak to a GM about actual game issues I was having. They were busying with people asking completely unrelated topics, so people who want their game to run properly have to wait. Glad to know my 15$ a month are being used productively for the game.

I doubt the authenticity of this but it is kind of funny. I've contacted WoW customer support before and they're sort of worthless. I'm not trying to be mean but they are, they wouldn't help me or even attempt to help me.

 

[Bobbity]

I don't believe it's real, simply for the fact that the GM probably would have said something a little out of the ordinary, rather than just the usual 'thanks for contacting us' sort of thing. Also, it seems so... improbable...

It's pretty amazing to think the Customer Support team for an MMO such as WoW would have access to the Internet and are trained in the use of Google... will wonders never cease?

Sarcasm aside, I found the exact same answer to that question on Yahoo! Answers [http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20101214010253AAH1igW] by typing the question into Google, and I don't even understand the question (or the answer).

I don't understand why the person didn't just use Google himself, rather than wait for the WoW GM's to copy and paste his question into Google and get back to him with the copy and pasted answer.

That might have ended up on Yahoo AFTER being popularized by this image, just saying.

Awesome...now do my taxes.

At $15 a month, they better do your homework! I'd expect them to have a sandwich ready for me ten minutes after submitting a ticket.

Not only should they have a sandwich waiting, but it should arrive on the back of a centaur, who is reading Shakespeare, with the voice of Patrick Stewart, now that would be getting my money's worth.

And this is why I pay monthly fee. Well, not for this particular reason but for good customer support... And I would be happy if I would get some other problem than just beginners whining how they got scammed, hacker or were idiots.

Blizzard GM's were always really friendly, funny, and helpful when I played WoW. I am sure some GM with a sense of humor would do this.

I'm not impressed with this at all, it's not cool, it's not funny, it's bloody infuriating. I haven't played WoW in yonks, but honestly if this is the sort of crap that GMs were wasting their time on when I was submitting tickets about actual in game issues and waiting hours and hours for a reply, I'm glad I'm not paying them anymore.

I might buy WoW just to get my homework done!
This also reminds me of the austin pizza pic!

I love you Blizzard

 

[Woem]

They are so getting swamped with math homework issues...

 

[Loonerinoes]

Holy...well okay, not sure if it wasn't doctored or anything at a quick glance, but assuming this is real...

I might have fallen out with WoW in general awhile back...but this kind of thing at least reminds me that their GMs were decent enough chaps. Or at least really good at maths.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

Huh, math help AND gameplay on WoW?

Fuck, now I just need to figure out which race I don't get bored on halfway into the fourth part of the starting world map, and we're getting somewhere!

Pizza places always have a good sense of humor when they aren't packed down with orders. Awesome.

It's not a constant workload.
Sometimes, the GMs are heavily overloaded with issues, while at other times, they may have few to no issues to deal with.
Just because they have the time to amuse themselves occasionally, it doesn't mean they just goof off all the time.

Had a 2 hour discussion in whispers with a gm about religion so ...yeah that's true. They are really great people since they play the game and not just observe, like robots.

Edit: Also they always answer in under 5 mins for me. EU ones seem sexier than US ones.
