WoW Customer Support Does Your Math Homework

Just for those curious. Minus some typos the answer is correct. (Should be 1+ 4(q/p)^3 < 0 in the last line to match with the other 1+ 4(q/p)^3 in the previous lines.)
Update: Scratch what I said before. Its a pretty straightforward Lagrange multiplier problem, turns out.

I got into a conversation with a GM once. Most of them do play WoW, they can't use their GM accounts when they're not at work and for most of the time talking to players, they're restricted to some kind of Macro Sheme, depending on the problem.Lloyd O Siadhail said:This is fake, due to the spelling errors within the gm's reply at the end of his message back to the customer. Blizzard doesn't employ people that spell wrong
When talking to him normally, as he said he had a bit of time to spare, he spammed me the list of Macro's and there were around 50. Pretty strange stuff, most of them involving the problem I needed dealt with, some quite strange ones and the other one being the thing they say to you once they start the chat.
i love austins pizza. they generally hire a lot of my friends haha, so this is not surprising by any means.Mukil said:

seconded.
if its real i want to know how bored the GM was at the time to actaully work it out.[/quote]
Well, the problem is actually fairly trivial if one has enough training in math. While I have no idea what sort of education requirement Blizzard customer support might have (I wouldn't expect it to be much), if the CS guy who responded had a degree in computer science (as an example), this would be an easier problem to solve than "My account was hacked!!!!!" by a lot.

Notice I said the average WoW player's life. To be honest, I'm probably one of the worst, despite not playing WoW. I play other MMO's, I run my own game blog, and I'm looking into a degree in Game Developing. Still, it's WoW. Nothing personal, but yeah, I have to make fun of WoW players. It's my rule.JordanXlord said:

It's perfect.
so you would Buy the Greatness of Wow...JUST FOR MATH?!
that's like buying Black ops just for the campaign
But I did buy it for the campaign... bought the Loli-damn Prestige Edition...JordanXlord said:LegendaryGamer0 said:I have no soul and I fit the former in your description.Mackheath said:
