My friend was hacked while logged in

[nugglets]

And with this HACK being a eye sore so is all the Bots and RMTs solution simple

Easy to handle the issues . you get 8 employees per server 3 run a day shift 3 run a mid day early AM shift 2 run the graveyard shift

($36/hr x 16 hours = $576) + ($24/hr x 8 hours = $192) = $768 per server, per day.

$768 x 61 servers = $46848 per day total.

I think that pretty easily explains why your suggestion is never going to happen.

($36/hr x 16 hours = $576) + ($24/hr x 8 hours = $192) = $768 per server, per day.

$768 x 61 servers = $46848 per day total.

$46,848 / $13.99 Subscription Fee = 655403.52 players purchasing a months access every single day to fund this.

That's 19,662,105.6 active players every month.

I think that pretty easily explains why your suggestion is never going to happen.

lets do this 60 servers x 8 employees = 480 employees time 10$ an hour = 4,800$ times 8 hours a day = 38,400 times 365 days =14,016,000 (yearly) or 1,152,000 monthly

Take in Se player base of 750,000 times a base of 13.99 = 10,492,500 per month or 125,910,000 (yearly) subtract the two numbers equals 111,894,000 net.

Other factors to fund this SE makes other games that sell FF15 , Kingdom Hearts , FFXI (over 20mil a year still I would guess) Were talking company profit loss margin here it can be done

I'm sorry, but what kind of %&$ing jobs are you working? $10 an hour? So, if the job at SE STF doesn't work out, you can just work for Panera Bread!

The solution, of course, is to hire chinese STF members. You can hire them for 2$ an hour, all included and they can work from the same office as the gilsellers they fight. Yay efficiency!

Let me stop you right there.
Paying people $10 an hour does not mean it costs S-E $10 per hour to hire people.
Perhaps you should ask your employer sometimes what you are actually costing him besides your own sallary.

well we all know this . And not factoring in things like insurance , 401k / stock options bonuses still it is feasible to do. And 10$ per is a base make it 20$ and double the total at the end at 2,304,000 month just pay lets add in 3mil to cover insurance and things so were looking at 5,304,000 per month or 63,648,000 subtract the same base yearly income total ( just for this game ) of 125,910,000 - 63,648,000 still at 62,262,000 just for this game alone . take out another 30% for the Dev team and Yoshi SE banks close to 20mil again not even factoring in things like first time yearly sales of the game 30~60$ depending on version of the game you bought . and sales over time . Say this year 250,000 of 750,00 sales are V1 players who got the game for free . So 500k people who bought the game on ps3 witch was 40$ ( we will use the PS3 low end for the example ) total on JUST sales is 20mil per this year . Then after a good solid year you can roll down the cost by downsizing the operation and save money its really not that hard

While I do agree that the game SEVERELY needs ingame GMs, I... honestly don't have high expectations for SE's customer support dealings with NA/EU. From what I hear, you can post a problem on the Japanese forums and, if it's important, usually get a dev/gm/mod reply sooner than later.
