...we had a remaining group of Support Tickets left over from that process that we have as of today fully investigated and resolved.

While it is great to finally see a comment on this matter, I consider the use of the word 'resolved' here to smell slightly of weasel. I think most people would take it that if a problem is 'resolved' then a solution has been found. This is not the case. Apparently you are employing the definition 'to make a firm decision about', which is certainly a valid definition in the dictionary, and is certainly what has been done by saying 'you will not be reimbursed, and that is that'.

I can understand that it may well be the case that any data supporting my petition, and those of the others here, has been lost in the incident, and that there is simply no hard evidence to support our claims. That's fair enough. These things happen. However, no-one has actually explained the reason behind this summary decision, and when you make a statement in this way without even apologising for the problem, you're implying that you simply don't believe us. Perhaps it's just me, but I don't take kindly to that. If that's not the case then simply say so, frankly and openly, so we can put this to rest.

I could not agree more.

Big Grats, Beef!

I remember...

...meeting Tilnak at the end of Beta in FF. By then he was already a legend. I don't know, but they said he started the first herding runs in Beta.

...herding Wolves and dumpster diving, Crazed and corner standing, Ninja ambushes, Kraken herding, Crey herding in Bricks, and herding everything in Axis America! Ahh, the droning loudspeaker's of the Axis. It would eventually get on your nerves, but kicking Axis butt never got old.

...when just zoning into Perez was a slide-show and you couldn't wait to stumble out of it.

...the Perez Park massacre's at the AP gate when a team retreated training mobs across those standing nearby "LFT".

...when the mission that spawned the Kronos Titan was in Perez and how he would annihilate all the lowbies that got too close. And the "Trouble-Alerts" going off in all the higher level SGs to gather and take him down pronto. It was kind of fun and immersive to go help out the low levels so they could get back to their fortune teller missions.

...at the end of Beta with the Rikti mother ships- just like Independence Day- flying over the zones at the end of Beta. And trying to get up onto the mothership hovering over Talos only to find the image was somewhere above the ceiling of the map.

...taking two days off work to take full advantage of the three day head start and hardly sleeping or leaving the house.

...hitting my tanking stride while tanking level 40 CoT for a group of 35ish team members along the riverwalk in Founder's. I was level 27. This was before the puple patch when powers didn't scale because of level difference.

...Perm-Unstoppable. And the two minute egg-timer I used to time when it would drop. Even with the timer sometimes the timing would be just a second of two off. I died so many more times by my own distraction and missing an unstoppable cycle than I ever have since. But talk about fun! I would sweat bullets sometimes over trying to keep my eye on that timer.

...when Regen was so good- too good, of course- that my scrapper could tank for an entire team of 50S and solo most AV's.

...trying to farm CoS mission for Phantasms to get the badge with some friends back when Unstoppable was stationary. Only their psychic cut through my INV tanker so badly. I tried to TP to the door to exit before biting it, only they got me before the animation finished. You could almost hear the laughter over my dying TP!

...street sweeping was the method of choice. TF were bugged and you often could not get the contacts to give you the next leg of the TF.

...often stopping by the enhancement store only to find a Tsoo Sorcerer or two inside. This happened a lot at the Mutant/Science stores in Talos and IP's Science store.

I remember...

...streetsweeping towards the end of beta in Skyway. Coming to the Talos zone in. We all decided to make an expedition there to see what we could find. It was one of the very last days of beta. Entering we were awestruck by the gigantic Rikti mothership hovering over Talos Island. We all flew up to try and land on it! Just awesome!

...Task Forces would give you one or two missions before the contact- and it was a regular citizen giving the one we tried- would just not give the next leg of the Task Force. So everyone would street sweep.

...taking whatever power looked good from the manual description. And making a lot of poor choices.

Can I get a Woot Woot for States and company!
