What gets me, is, who said it was the developers that went in the game in the first place? POTCO didn't tell us, they just said GMs would be in the game for events. All they really are, are other staff members. If they are in fact developers, they're more than likely to be the two interns that don't get paid.
I don't think Disney's dumb enough to keep their developers from working on the game to sit around and entertain customers. It'd make a lot more sense for them to work while OTHER people go in the game, that way they get a lot less complaints because people are too worried about going to a certain event.
The updates are good, but I have serious doubts of whether or not the second story quest is ready. But if it isn't here by the end of the year, I'm sure Disney is going to get a flood of complaints.

Well MacIronhawk,
I do believe, from what I’ve read, although not a founder, you've been with this game for some time. With that said, we can both see these updates declared in this thread I believe are most likely clear evidence of progressions of advancements, most agree with this and believe good things are definitely ahead, like the main topics here.
When I read Pirates Online Staff members making promotional or accolade comments, they refer to themselves as a Team, not divisions.
How do you know that the developers do not come into the game and interact with us? We know the fact that it is "Staff members" behind GM's in operation, but why can't it be a developer, a engineer, a artist or any Cast member who is with the Pirates Online Staff?
For all we know, Bob Iger is Captain Walter and Tom Staggs is GM Xavier Hench,
who can say for sure?? (two top Disney executives names used with the utmost respect - btw.) - sounds a bit like your aiming blindfolded my friend when you say such.
As far as "Disney being smart enough to keep their developers working on the game and not taking a break and interact with the guests", I would say, Mate, this is what the game is all about, interacting and redirecting to better meet the needs of the goal. It would appear a developer spends 98% of their time working on installing codes and the brief moment of interacting with RL people is probably a very welcome and deserved moment wouldn't you say? (seems very fair to me)
I am glad many POTCO Guest are not wielders of the Disney disciplinary hand, lol, it might possibly look like very harsh taskmasters. I hope Disney promotes a fun and productive working environment to their employees.
How long do the GM's usually come online Mate? Usually for short periods of time, a hour or two at the most unless it's a weekend and then they are most likely on the time they are sacrificing from their families or own social lives to see something they are compassionate about (anyone can see their compassion in their promotional staff videos from the Online Web site)
It's not like they all come on at the same time and usually it's on weekends wouldn't you agree?
That would tell me, they are selflessly offering their services of oversight and GM duties above and beyond normal work hours. Who are you or I to tell Disney Cast members when they can take a break to log on and interact with the members of the Game they all work as a team to produce? Perhaps they are taking a lunch hour break and coming online or working overtime to make room for events?
The public simply does not know for sure nor is it their place to be in the know.
I for one think Disney Executives probably enjoys seeing their employees interact and socialize with the guests.
Wouldn't we all agree that is exactly what Walt Disney was all about?
Thanks for hearing me out Mac and others, I respectfully feel this conversation does correlate to the update and I appreciate the interaction from Mac and the other Pirates as well.
respectfully submitted.
