Grrrrr.....

So I am firm believer in purchasing from your FLGS but sometimes it is not possible. The option then resorts to internet retailers via stores, ebay or whatever. Now I have bought and sold on ebay and online before plus my girlfriend has her own online boutique, so I do have an understanding of customer service.

I have purchased multiple items from stores online and received various results. Most stores I would do buisness with. Two certain store I will not......but I will not name them here.

My complaints:

Listing product you "have" but when it is purchased you cant find it.......and taking a week to notify the purchaser. Really WTF!

Sending out your tracking information but not sending the item out......or in the recent case saying the package was damaged and returned to sender....I had the tracking for a week and it updated last night as finally being sent.... sure you sent it.

Listen I bought a gaming figures and you telling me it was returned damaged I get that, asking how I want to proceed, Awesome, but after asking for the refund you get to me 3 buisness days later.....shady. I am a gamer I know Valhalla was this weekend. you could have said "hey sorry man I gonna be at tourney all weekend cool if i send it to you next week." not saying anything is douchey.

Jacking up prices.....we know you have to turn a profit too, we get that but recently a certain retailer (once again un named) had a "sale" for some figures.....funny thing was the price was higher than normally from same seller.....

Know I have found some really good retailers in gaming and my other hobbies.....but as the saying goes, Do a good job the customer tells 2 friends, do  a bad job the customer tells 5. So FRP games and Spikey bits.....you both grind my gears.

Trolling, Why do we tolerate it?

Why do we allow the least mature amongst us to diminish the quality of our favourite sites?


Lately, the "first" phenomenon has gotten to the point that the first twenty responses to an article are just sequential numbers, such as first, second and, so on, or even dumber people trying to turn the comments section into some lame rp event. When they are not simply saying first, they are hiding it in the comment, and then there are a half dozen(if we are lucky) comments on how clever the troll was in hiding first(or the following sequential number)

I say that I have had enough. We can do something, and it isn't difficult, report the trolls comments as inappropriate. If the mods question it, tell them, the comment is inappropriate because it derails any discussion away from the subject of the article. Eventually the trolls will either stop, or have nowhere they are welcome.

Either way we win.
