  • Well in that context yeah the only reason to get upset about this is if you have a problem with the mechanic itself, otherwise they should and would have started protesting a while ago.

    As for your question: Yes absolutely. Such is the consequence of freedom of speech: people will have opinions you dislike. This isn’t some serious irl matter, it’s about features in a video game so let them have whatever they want. In fact forcing inclusivity might be the least inclusive thing one can do. Sure voice your dislike if you see a group playing a game you don’t like. That is your right. But it is also their right to play that game (and voice their dislike at your voiced dislike).


  • Well the contents of this particular change aside I could see someone upset over the principle of it. I’m not familiar with old-school runescape but if the salespitch really was “no changes unless the community approves them in a poll” then this marks a breach of “contract” (I doubt them only ever adding stuff after polls was ever contractually agreed on) on the developers part. Now that door is open so what else are they going to change without a poll? Is this going to be a one off or will this now become a regular occurence where the developers go over the communities wishes?

    So, again, the politics of this particular change aside I can absolutely see why a player would be upset by this change, it’s not the change itself that is worrying but rather what that means for the future, if players were sold the idea of control this change robbed them of that control they were sold. But again I have no clue about old-school runescape so I don’t know if the community just took the status-quo as granted and never had any promises made to them that only polled changesmwould happen.


  • Not on the phone but I had to threaten the Bitdefender E-Mail rep with a lawsuit in order to get my money back.

    A few months into my 2 year subscription I changed my e-mail associated with my Bitdefender account. Thereafter all mail I got from them went to that new email, as it should. A short while after that I switched over to Linux and my “need” for an AntiVirus evaporated entirely between Linux’ workflow not really requiring one anyway and me learning how little AntiVirus Software offers over the default Windows Defender. Queue forward to the end of that 2 year subscription (whose auto-renewal I had disabled before leaving Windows exactly to prevent what happened anyway but alas I have no proof of that anymore) I notice a really weird charge while reviewing my credit card statement. A charge that by all accounts should not have been there and one I was not made aware of beforehand. Guess what, those fucks sent only the mail about the upcoming renewal to the old email account which I had no reason whatsoever to suspect would still receive mail from them. Curiously the mail about them cancelling the renewed charge after I went off on them was sent to the new email again…

    Initially the customer service said “oh well can’t do anything here’s a 50€ discount” until I lost my cool and threatened to sue them for theft because by all reasonable standards I could not have expected them to inform me on my old email about this upcoming charge.

    On that note my stance was reaffirmed: Between and AntiVirus and an actual Virus I’d pick the latter, at least those are upfront about their motives and intentions instead of pretending to provide you with a service.

    Da andere hier auch ihre Erfahrungen teilen hier ein Auszug meiner Erfahrungen:

    GLS:

    • Summe 2 Pakete, beide kamen unglaublich verdellt an, beides mal hat nur das Verpackmaterial des Herstellers das Produkt gerettet. (Edit: es handelte sich beides mal um recht teure Produkte (200€+))
    • Pakete kamen am angegeben Tag an, einmal allerdings mit falscher Zustellangabe (Zustellinfo sagte “Abgelegt” es wurde aber bei einem Nachbarn abgegeben)

    Hermes:

    • Ziemlich langsam aber den eigenen Angaben entsprechend pünktlich, ansonsten mit dem momentanen Fahrer eigentlich nichts auszusetzen.
    • Liefert oft sehr spät (18-20 Uhr)
    • Vorheriger Fahrer hat teilweise Pakete an der Einfahrt abgelegt (Straßenrand)
    • Pakete manchmal an leicht falschem Ablageort (oberhalb der Treppe anstatt Unterhalb), da es aber ein Einfamilienhaus ist kein größeres Problem

    UPS:

    • Liefert hier ziemlich selten, ähnlich wie bei Hermes eigentlich nur durch längere Lieferzeiten negativ auffallend
    • gleiches Problem mit dem Ablageort wie Hermes

    Amazon:

    • Andauernde Lieferverspätungen um mehrere Tage trotz Prime haben mich dazu bewegt nichts mehr bei Amazon zu bestellen und mein Prime Abo zu kündigen.

    DHL:

    • Angegebene Lieferzeit 1/2 Tage schneller als die Erstangabe ist der Regelfall, meistens sind Pakete am nächsten Tag nach Versand schon da.
    • Ablageort wird korrekt befolgt
    • Trotz Ablageort direkt vor der Haustür werden die Zustellungszettel in den Briefkasten gelegt. Einziger Lieferant der hier nach Vorschrift arbeitet.
    • Pluspunkt für Personen bei denen Relevant: Zoll Gebühren können vorab Online gezahlt werden, sofern DHL für den gesamten Transport verantwortlich ist.
