that are paying him for his "work". And of course he will
talk negativily about anything Rita or Silent(before) did, even if
it was a good thing. Ectar: I'm not defending anything, I'm clarifying a lie/total
misinformation. The content of the post was false and it
was presented to cause aggro within the community. Claiming
someone was fired for incompetence with zero evidence is straight
up slander and an attempt to ruin someone's reputation. I won't
stand for that and I won't have colleagues or ex colleagues have
their names dragged through the mud like that.
EmperorSafirius, on 14 July 2015 - 12:12 PM, said: Plus, in this case, it sounds like Ectar thinks he's more important
than Yuri Pasholok who talked about WG EU staff getting fired.. Ye,
Yuri can be a troll but I'll take his word over Ectar's any day of
the week.Ectar: When it comes to matters about the EU office and
specifically the EU community, yes I am more important that Mr
Pasholok and a hell of a lot more informed. You can take his
word over mine if you want but on this matter there is zero
evidence to back up the claims made on Status Report. Why? Because
it's false. It's made up. It's untrue.

one from 2 years ago that resulted in all contests being
halted and reviewed? Please if you're going to throw out
little comments like this, then show people your sources. Every
time someone talks about rigged contests it's always the issue with
Czechout and Silentstalker that had a very very public outcome.
If you have something new then please share it.
Otherwise please stop bringing up a 2 year old issue that resulted
in major changes.

for them / him only added fuel to my personal feelings towards
them. I couldn't care less whether their staff were fired or
if they left voluntarily, none of my business. I only care about
the end result and if it changes things for the better then so be
it. They're lacking in their service to us and something has got to
give. A little communication and honest to goodness dialogue with
the playerbase, and of course their willingness to listen to ideas
and feedback instead of refuting them with sarcasm and
indifference, will earn them a lot of respect. Roll on the
neg reps cause I disagreed. I have nothing personal against Ectar
and co, I do not disrespect the man, only the position; my
judgement is based solely on the level of service to us..and to
date it stinks.Ectar: I feel it's only fair to link to the specific post where I
used the term "time sink" so that players can understand the
context. It's this post here. I'd like players to read the full
message and understand why the term "time sink" was mentioned.
I didn't simply say "I don't have time to post here". I
was trying to explain that blanket/spam/multiple posting on
the forums just to have a presence does not add anything to the
community, especially when what I post in a thread is already
answered by players before me. Posting on the forums in an
official capacity is something that should only happen in hot
topics, important threads and where it's seriously needed. The
forums are primarily a place for players to talk to each other. It
shouldn't be looked at as a constant open channel to have any and
every question answered by a Wargaming Employee. Yes.
Posting more would be awesome. I'd love to have the time however I
only work so many hours in the week and I have to cover multiple
products. Whenever I have time between tasks I will
browse the forums, post where I can and take note of hot
topics. Just posting all day on a single forum isn't what
the job is about though. At the moment the activity on the EN
section is low because there is only myself and Brynd. We're
in the process of hiring 2 new Community Coordinators and they
should hopefully be here soon. WG presence will then
increase. Posting for the sake of posting is not a helpful
system when players are looking to us for answers. Replies
need to be measured and they need to add value to the topic.
I communicate openly and honestly whenever I can. An important
thing to understand is that I'll always give answers when
I have them. I can't however give answers I don't
have. I've stated multiple times that I won't spin and story
and I will never lie to players to cover something up. We listen to
idea's and feedback however it's important to note that idea's and
feedback are things to be considered, they are not things
guaranteed to happen. I will only ever reply to something with
sarcasm in a thread where that is obviously the tone and it's not a
serious one. If someone is going to smack talk me however all that
will happen is their post will be ignored. I don't put
people's ideas down but I will offer counter points to what someone
suggestions if there is a clear reason why it's not workable.

consider that little gem, which comes from Ectar.Ectar: I never said we have 16 vacancies.... See this is where it's
kinda important to read everything before making a comment.
This is the little gem that came from me - https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldofTanks/comments/3d5hbr/the_long_predicted_eu_purge_is_beginning_as_a/ct2af95
Block Quote Currently the EU Community team has the following vacancies: Polish Community Manager Czech Community Manager Both of the above vacancies are due to internal promotions to other roles. German Community Manager Czech Community Coordinator English Community Coordinator English Community Coordinator These 4 roles are due to employees leaving for other jobs. A grand total of 4 people have "left" and they left for whatever personal reason that is for them alone to reveal. Normally in the gaming industry people keep things like that to themselves as they want to focus on their new job/role. Rather than 16 there is only 6 current vacancies within EU Community with at least 2 of them due to new opportunities within the company as we continue to grow. http://wargaming.com/en/careers/vacancies/ - set the location
