My own GM encounter.

After having sat in another less-than-successful experience points party, I happened upon the subject of GMs in my linkshell chat. I got thinking about how I never get to see any GMs anymore when I get stuck, now that return has no anima cost. I then had the idea to send the GMs a nice little letter...

Someone in linkshell chat then mentioned that it is night time over at Square Enix HQ, so it seemed unlikely that I'd receive a response soon. I decided to leave my fishing spot and return to Ul'dah to do some crafting, and halfway through the first craft, I noticed the flashing GM call icon in the top-right corner.

"How unexpected!" I thought, as I hastily finished (botched) my synth. I rushed through the menu, eager to see what their response to my letter was. As I opened the response, I was both uncontainably jubilant and utterly disappointed.

Your message must have been intercepted by the copy-paste dragon of Mt. Lunchbreak.

GASP! they dont actually read anything we submit just give an automated message!! lol

EDIT: or Agent Paul is just busy with other things :) LOLOLOLOL

Haha, love automated messages, someone should send a call asking to marry a GM, see what they get back.

Oh dear, it appears I wrote "interested" instead of "interesting". Now I see why I didn't get an actual response.

if you give him lots of space he'll miss your pretty face :D

I've tried stuff like this also; t'is sad that they don't respond like they did in FFXI.

aww, I was hoping to see the GM respond in a troll like fashion :(

I don't think that was an automated response simply because you didn't receive the reply right away. I imagine someone did read your GM call, but was required to reply with one of many pre-written paragraphs.

And besides... [GM]Dave isn't on XIV as far as I know. If he were, you'd probably not have that level 50 fisher any longer.

could it be...:
GM: /read → /dramatic music → /lens zoom in → /depth of field ON → /heart melt
GM: "No.. I can't have an affair with players... that's strictly against SE policy" /turn back with tears
GM's evil step mother walked in and read the letter. (I don't know why step mother show up...)
Evil step mother: "NO! you are supposed married to the Bayohne tomorrow! Arrrgh~~"
Evil pirate step mother /tear GM call.

and I think /joke on if they can't cheer us up, they are going to hunt us down /joke off since they are looking for someone with robust hunting ability!

To be fair, if aGM had actually corresponded with you in such a familiar way, and u posted it here, can u even begin to imagine the sh*t storm if in-game GM calls and msgs they would have to deal with? Can't say I blame em for sticking with the canned response.
