Exact same response, but mine was from Gwen. I still call BULL! There is only one statement in that response that tells the truth:

Quote:
.....accounts can still be linked allowing families to still have multiple
accounts and pay for those accounts through one primary account......
This is it. They are telling us the truth here. If you want to link your accounts so that it is EASIER TO PAY for them, then that is what we (Disney) will allow you to do. Otherwise, there is ABSOLUTELY NO PURPOSE to having linked accounts.

I looked it up. July 10th was the date last year when I stopped paying monthly and went to an annual account. SOOOooo, unless something major happens, (This gets fixed!) July 10th is the date my account will go to basic. Since I am Mastering my 4th pirate tomorrow, that is 4 fully mastered pirates going into retirement.

I wonder how long they plan on keeping this up. I too sent an email to them in response to this. I'm not gonna post it like everyone else did, its pretty much the same exact thing, I just threw in a few thoughts towards their "reasons it was removed".

The suggestion for bans - Say I got my main pirate, Sven O'smythe banned, and that I have 3 accounts linked together. I log onto my linked account, then attempt to switch to my other ones, only to find out that my main one was dropped from the group.

What I pretty much meant by that (that wasn't the way I worded it either), any account that is banned should be dropped from the group of linked accounts, and not be added again until the ban is up, may sound dumb.. but look at their response to it -.-

For Test (again, not how I worded it) - Same as the banned accounts in a way, except a little differently. Heres another example, I have three linked, two were invited to test, one wasn't. I attempt to log into my uninvited one, it won't connect. But if I attempt to log into my invited ones, I can easily switch between the two (without the uninvited one showing up).


Well, thats pretty much the just of my emails to them. As I said above, I didn't bother to put much thought into it, doubt even if it was good it wouldn't be used.

For suggestion about the banning, how about banning the avatar that was used? And if they need to get rid of the pirate permanently, alert the parent's email, and delete the avatar that keeps getting suspensions. Pretty idiot-proof solution.

Rofl, true... well, at the rate we are going, we might see a lot of names. Then again, last time I had a few emails back and forth with Disney, it eventually got to be too much that they forgot to include a name - keep it up everyone!

Ughh! This one really breaks the straw for me!
I also e mailed them complaining and letting them know that I will not be renewing and got the same lame response.
I posted some "negative" comments on the grog blog under both updates and neither were posted...what a surprise.
Their so called update has done nothing but change the name of enemies.
We still have NO real new content.

Excellent job disney...

Don't worry, they will, and it will probably be the same e-mail as we all got from a guy named John this time .

This entire uproar reminds me of Disney's doing in media and movies. Disney is big in the media and is in part with 4-5 other companies who control all of media and an entire culture in end. They created all these laws out of desperation to get rid of the few people with enough nerve to record and pirate movies. Basically,

Doesn't this sound incredibly similar to what's happening here?

After-all, didn't they say they wanted to rid of this because of the select few desperate to escape bans and suspensions?
