> Unfortuately, to say that the issue is explained and considered closed is incorrect. The information you have linked to is the same redundant run-around that everyone else has been given. All it says to me is “We don’t have an answer.”
The answer is they are not emailing anything anymore. Hence the locked thread. If the case was still open, 343 wouldn’t have locked that thread and people could still post in the thread.
Seriously, they may still be sending out codes to people, but with that thread locked, its doubtful they are sending codes to individuals who are making the topics.
> I, as well as many others, do meet the “Offical Statement’s Requirements” to receive the codes.
Good luck proving that to these forums. The thing about the internet is any website can be faked and authetnication and verification would need to be verified, by a trusted 3rd party with additional certificates to prove the information isn’t fake and you are who you say you are.
> My email is not invalid, I pre-ordered and have played everyday since Nov. 6th., I am well over 17 and in the US. Plus, I have never seen a single thing on XBox live about it. To simply say the issue lies solely with the players is just shifting blame. From the powers that be, who are failing to fulfill their promised duties, to the players. A very sad state of affairs, and bad business to boot.
Like I said originally, this system is not one which works out ideal for all players. However, the simple truth is there is just no way to verify or prove you are who you say you are and prove your eligibility. Not on these forums at least, but then again, your right, there is no official statement 343 has ceased emailing codes, so TECHNICALLY, it is still possible they are sending additional ones out.
Given the nature of how these topics are being locked and not opened again as well as the one OFFICIAL thread was locked by Rukizzel, a 343 employee, it is highly unlikely this is happening.
> The players are intelligent enough to know when someone is blowing smoke up their whazzoo, and this “Offical Statement” is most definitely smoke, Sir. Continuing to treat it as scripture on the issue is insulting to those that know they are in the right.
Sounds like a personal problem to me. I say that because there is no one on these forums or elsewhere which can help you on this. And no, 343 employees do not respond to public threads or discussions, this is why the moderators are volunteers and not employees.
> If this issue goes unresolved, all the people who have been disenfranchised by this debacle certainly won’t forget when the next 343i project comes to fruition.
I’m counting on it. I sincerley hope it wakes 343 up to how to handle these things in the future. Fact of the matter is, it absolutely sucks to know in your heart your right, but you can’t prove it without a reasonable doubt being raised.
> I do not wish to sound as if I am directing anger at you PhNx Hellfire. I direct it towards the powers that be failing in their customer service duties by claiming the issue is settled because they released an “Offical Statement” about it.
I don’t interpret this as anger yet, I’ve had angry comments fly before. This is discontent at best.
> If these threads weren’t being closed off, or folks were given real answers, there would not be new ones on the same topic popping up.
Good to see I’m not the only one who uses that logic… oh wait, just about everyone with this issue can agree on that. Funny how that has developed…
Again 343, this is why you need to hire a Public Relations Team to handle situations like this and AT LEAST get some answers onto the forums you frequently visit.
