Feb 9 2011We Didn't Have That When I Was A Kid!: WoW In-Game Support Helps With Homework Now?
This is allegedly an actual screenshot from a kid who sent the World of Warcraft in-game customer support a calculus problem he needed to finish before he could get his game on (but you were already playing!), and the response he received. Now I failed the everliving shit out of Calculus so I don't know if the answer is right or not, but I do know at least dude here has a scapegoat if he has to write his answer on the chalkboard in front of the whole class.
Teacher: What do you mean 'this is all World of Warcraft Customer Support's fault'? Are you insinuating you didn't work the problem yourself?
Student: Oh she-she. PENIS OUR TEACHER DREW A PENIS ON MY LAST TEST!
Teacher: Excuse me?! That was a 100.
Student: IT WAS A SLOPPY COCK AND BALLS AND YOU KNOW IT!

Thanks to WillC, who once contacted The Sims customer service to differentiate between "your" and "you're" but they left the chat room. PROBABLY TO GO PREY ON TWEENS.

Basic MSPAINT edits make it on to Geekologie now?

It could be a fake but last night a friend opened a ticket to talk to a GM and after having their issue resolved the GM asked if there was anything else they could do. My friend wrote, "Yeah, you could tell me a joke." The GM proceeded to share a slew of corny jokes for the next 10 minutes.
Must be a nice break from dealing with the complainers.

@5 Just from you telling us that, i could actually see that screenshot being real, i can't imagine how many people talk to GM's on there.

The other day this guy walks up to me and says "I'm a wigwam, I'm a tepee, I'm a wigwam, I'm a tepee!!!" so I said "Woah buddy, calm down. You're too tense (two tents)"

I wonder if they'll fall for the classic knock-knock joke?
"Knock Knock"

Oh so this made it onto geekologie too?
I play WoW 24/7.
I can tell you from personal experience that GM's need breaks from dealing with 12 year olds.
I've had some good chats with them.
Not surprised that someone helped out with HW too.
Gotta love Blizzard.

Someone who has studies calculus should check the math on this and let us all know if it's right.

thats fake, GM'S doesnt answer like that and even if it was like that, they dont answer the important stuff so i should they answer that.

Fake. Just google the question. It was asked (and answered) on Yahoo Answers two months ago.

the GM must be a student... who the hell can remember that crap years down the road, lmao

Sorry guys definitely fake blizzards gm responses are either in game whispers or responses via mail. The only form that resembles that is where you actually put in a gm ticket. I have seen gms adjust their generic blizzard intro/exit macros to make the experience unique.

Dear geeks:
Matrices. If I multiply two three by three matrices, Ax=B, and I want to solve for x, I would just find the inverse of A and do all of those shenanigans. However, if I multiply a 3x4 matrix by a 4x3 one, how would I solve for x if I only have A and B? Because...if I can multiply them, I can "divide" them too, right?

I remember one time I cast slow fall and jumped off the front of a zeppelin. Wound up merged to the front of the thing for some reason. I opened a ticket to explain my problem and the GM made fun of me.

@Steve
They can reply to you in the way the screenshot shows just fine. It's what you get when you click on the flashing "You have received a reply to your petition" on the top, iirc.

It's a very popular flight simulation game. Go read the report once, then take care. :) If I buy the game by clicking on my name!
