lmao but will they do fine when people give up on them? And leave?.. Not because of the game but for their constant inept decisions that routinely ruin the Second Life economy. I have been here for 5 yrs and it is a mere shell of what it once was.

If support tickets Have been sent.. A week ago.. (This isn't the first time for this one) No reply from LL. No answer. At All. Then why was the item removed? Funny how a shouting object can be ARed from a neighboring sim for 2 solid weeks 3 tickets filed on it and nothing done. Yet 2 AR's because someone did not win at the game and got pissed can get the item removed. Funny how fast LL will act for a certain few but not the ones that make this Virtual world go round and round..

Support tickets have been raised... a week ago. Why does it take a week to make a decision,\?

Then why is it taking a week to get a reply from LL as to whether or not it is a legal game.? Hmmmm??

This game as I previously stated requires certain input by a human.... This is where the skill level comes into play. What you do within this game can greatly change the outcome of the game. A bot or computer can not reason this determination. For it to reason this. It would first have to know the numerical outcome. The only thing a computer can do is make a logical choice. Sometimes (Just like LL) the logical choice is the wrong one. This game is as much a skill game as any kickerz game or the washed up worn out Zyngo

Its a game that requires input from humans to make a decision that can effect the outcome of the game and if the input is used correctly..(Skill Required) Then the outcome can be greatly changed. No surprise there is no knowledge of the game or how it works.

Originally this was a reply to a previous Post but I would like some answers and opinions on why people think LL economy is dying? The following is a reply I left concerning the recent Blocking of a very popular and lucrative new game in SL. Byngo Bonus With 400 sims using this game they can not say they didn't know about it. It is sad some jealous Prude not capable of creating a box to has AR a single game board and have it removed without first LL checking it out to see if there is a skill factor involved. Just as in the security item RedZone that the panic over ISP info being copied sent them in a frenzy to pull and outlaw this device. Did not the ones ARing that device understand that every website they visit copies their ISP address. Even Second Life. Do they not know each time they do a search, a code is sent to the browser to select targeted advertising. LL is only concerned with keeping the peace. Damn the results. Are the workers in charge of this responsibility Inept? Your damn right they are. Once again, someone inability to design & build a successful game and the ease of a prudish group of their followers has the ability to control the masses. Even the Adult migration to Zindra was pushed forward by a bunch of damn fools who thought pushing them to the far corners of SL would make them go away. Well guess what? They only further killed the economy in SL/ Linden Labs. Get your heads out of your Collective Butts and start supporting the movers of this game or you run the risk of losing us all. I assure you when that day cames and it will not be long before someone with the means will team up and duplicate this rust bucket and walk everyone right out from under your nose. Then you can have your prudes with no payment info, and no ability to buy lindens, sell lindens and perfectly happy with the noob free clothing provided at start up. How long do you think you will last?

Said by Marigold: People may well be "leaving in droves" - but again, with my rose-tinted spectacles I don't actually see that. I'm a relative newbie, only having been here for little over four years, but in that time I've seen a small number of people leave with a bad taste in their mouth, because they've "invested" a ton of money into Second Life and believe everyone should therefore bow down at their feet and be grateful to them, or even help them to pay for it. I have also seen a lot of people simply move on from Second Life because of real life tugging them away, just like it would have done any other pastime. And I also see new people arriving in world every single day. Concurrency figures are no lower, the same number of people are logged in as ever there were when I log in. ** Care to guess how many are bots? ** With the dwindling numbers, traffic has to be upheld somewhere by those you claim want people bowing to their feet. And by the way. Do they sell those Rose colored glasses on the Market Place. I think I may need a pair myself.

Filing abuse reports in most cases is a total waste of time. Prime example. Shouting objects with repetitive spam, I have personally reported this thing 8 times in the last 2 weeks. Nothing done. Today it is still shouting and rendering about 1/2 of my sim unbearable. To reply to the IP info gathering being illegal in SL and RL... That is false. Every known website has that capability to include SL. Most of them do collect such information. Example. Search Car insurance for a couple of days then log into Facebook and observe some of the side bar ads you get. or better yet search Models or singles dating sites. Any thing you choose. That info is gathered from your IP and direct ads are sent to your face book.

There used to be a device that would IP ban alt accounts but due to LL's ultimate wisdom they decide to ban this device. They could not do their jobs in enforcing the TOS so they banned the object that performed this task for them. God forbid they are made to look bad. They claimed as a few others did that it was a privacy issue. Personally I think it was an issue of a few controlling the masses. It was kind of like the Hometowners didn't want the wal-marts to sneak in and make them conform to a higher standard of service or organization. That device revealed nothing more than banning mischievous alts hell bent on making a persons life miserable. Once again devaluing the game. You would think LL would have atleast took that technology and implored it into the parcels so parcel owners could have this ability to improve their quality of game play. We all know now it is not quality of game play LL is worried about. Or so it appears.

I have to say after reading a few comments. Things today are not near as smooth as they were when I first started in SL. As I too agree that many long time members have left SL. Many were personal close friends. Performance is key. Who wants to play a game they can not use inventory. Or their inventory only loads after 4 or 5 times of relogging and dumping cache. Next once they have inventory loaded and spending an hour to get it all intact they wonder off to buy something or build and then sim performance goes to crap. Especially on servers such as Blue Dog ( BlueSteel). This server is pathetic. You can predict on this server when your gonna crash if you spend enough time on it. It does seem to me however that more attention is being spent on toys such as the Facebook Twitter spin off. Come on LL. We have that already. Most of us here that are serious players came to SL cause we wanted more than a stupid motionless page. Who in their right friggin mind logs into SL to check their Twitterface account. Hmmmm? I can't wait till you waste valuable resources to get farmville here. Such needless things are a total drain on the system. Other examples of wasted resources. Bots.... No matter what they do. They are not real in any life. A total drain on resources. Newcomers to SL find a mall or club full of these and soon think they are here by themselves. All alone. How fun is that when you advertise its a 3d world to interact with others and built by others. I know I know. The bots do not produce traffic now.... ok and I have 400 beach Sims too all rented out. So many times I have seen things that benefited SL taken and removed. Things that actually helped you do your jobs. Like Griefer control.. None existent for the most part. Abuse reports are a waists of time, I personally have reported atleast 8 times a shouting object from the next sim over and that was 2 weeks and it is still spewing repetitive spam. One whole side of my sim is unbearable, try enforcing the TOS. That would improve quality of game play as well. To much time and resources are being used for crap that is useless. I spend about 6,000 USD a year on SL, in some people cases that is small Potatoes. For me it is huge. I employ a great number of people I own more than 15 different businesses in SL. Is it to much to ask for you to get back to the basics of what made this game attractive like simple things as inventory loading properly or lag reduction by removing excessive drains on the system such as ALL types of bots. Improving game stability and performance is what we need. Not gimmicks we can find somewhere else that we all didn't like in the first place? We need performance quality. Quality of game play (enforce TOS) and reduction of resources by things (bots) that we all know serve no purpose other than traffic building regardless of how you try to spin it.
