PSA on How to properly communicate with GMs by Neno:

I have always viewed the GMs here as law enforcement agents. Even if you don't agree with them just say you do politely and move on. There have been tons of posts here since the server went live about how particular GMs are assholes blah blah. You won't win and you will just make things worse for yourself. They make the calls and if you don't like it you can either just forget about it and go do something to get rid of the stress or you can get tazed, bro.

I'm not saying don't get pissed but instead of trying to attack the GMs or convince them they are wrong just vent your frustrations to a friend or your guild. Just don't attack them either directly in game or publicly because it will never end well. If you feel like you were screwed over and want to talk to other staff members than use the petition forum. RNF really is not the best place to bring up your gripes with the staff because it will just cause you to be heckled by other posters and no one will take you seriously.

For example... last summer the entire raid force that I was part of was moved out of zone and told to not come back for the night. Did I think that was right? No. Was I pissed? Sure. However, I really like playing here so I just logged off for the night and came back the next day. Ever since than I have had many positive encounters with that particular GM.

Also if you do talk to a GM during or after an incident don't cuss them out. Just explain your side and do so in a formal manner. Using things like 'u' and 'ur' or any other type of short hand just makes you look kind of disrespectful and dumb. If English is your primary language than use it to the best of your ability. If it isn't your primary language than let them know that and try the best you can. If in the end after you explained yourself and they tell you "too bad" or "stop talking to me" just drop it and go do something else.
