While I can't say how the issue is on other servers (I'm playing on Wayfinder), but the response time to tickets in DDO is horrible it takes a GM an average of 10 hours to respond to a ticket.
Also I more and more get the impression that most of them don't even read the tickets, just post the standard : "Oh, you were offline, we can't help you" - message and close the ticket, which is a great way to get rid of customers and VIPs alike.
Is this only the case on Wayfinder or are GMs virtually nonexistent on other servers as well ?
