That late march ship date though

mike89914I dunno if the Carbons are leftovers or if they're having GMK do another production run. If it's another production run, I could see that factoring into the board's late March ship estimate (though I know not everyone will opt for Carbon).

SlashEmperorI'm guessing it's extras from the first run. It would make sense for massdrop to take advantage of the quantity for an order like that and get extras, since they're certain to sell out in another drop.

SlashEmperorMD descriptions aren't always the best, but they made it to mention " Deluxe Acrylic Aluminum Case (limited to 80 units)". But there's no mentioning of a limitation of Carbon. If they're going to have a new run for this drop only, it would be even more disrespectfull to the people asking at the GMK Carbon addon drop.

MakamiThe lack of stated limitation for Carbon kinda makes me think of a new run. Royal Alpha in Clueboard and Triumph Adler for RS68 is/was stated to have a limit.
Unless they just forgot to note a Carbon limit for this drop.

SlashEmperorWe're going to see, at the moment i'm considering to cancel my active drops and going to say goodbye for good. There's this saying, all good things come to an end, but this behaviour is so much against any community thoughts.
Fuck, i'm disgusted, and there's no way for me having business with a company behaving like that.

MakamiWhat are you disgusted about? I don't get it, and don't know if I'm not reading right?

ChuckDeeHe's saying that they may be potentially doing another Carbon run and have not posted a separate drop for Carbon. It doesn't make sense to do a run, but not provide a separate drop to all of the community members who have asked for it as well as those active in the Carbon add-on drop (who may not have the base set).
Either way they should let the community know they are not doing another Carbon run in this drop and it has a limit - or they should open a separate drop for a Carbon base set. If they don't its implying that in order to get the Carbon set you need to spend additional money to join this drop to get it.
I have faith in MD. Do the needful.

ChuckDeeHi Chuck,
going to answer later, no time right now.

techfreshThey've done it before (with the MiniVan drop) where they released the KB drop first, then a few days later, released the keyset drop.
I guess I don't get the disgust if you don't know their ultimate plan. I've always viewed MD as above board- they might make mistakes, but nothing on purpose, so I give them the benefit of the doubt. Asking seems OK- being disgusted, though? This soon in the game?

ChuckDeeSo it seems to be solved with the limitation of 25 sets, therefore endless discussion doesn't seem to be needed. To be disgusted or pleased whatever is just the expression of a feeling i have at a given moment. Nothing wrong for me with that, but i do wonder all the time that it isn't a problem at all to express positive thoughts/feelings, but being negative is bad or over the top.
It's the same strange common way to like each other, but not being able to dislike, negative impression/experience isn't wanted, we're living in a perfect world giving you only positive feedback. Worth nothing and doesn't reflect the truth.
Should be enough.

MakamiNegative feelings are one thing. Disgust, however, before there's even a chance for MD to respond? And phrasing the question in the form of an attack? You don't see anything wrong with that?

ChuckDeeKeep in mind, i'm German and wish in moments like this we could talk in my language. Even though my english is quiet good, my interpretation/thoughts and words might not get along 100% all the time.
Why do i have to wait for an answer, after all this years MD should know good enough about their business and community and the impact of bad, not complete descriptions. Mistakes and shit may happen, but MD lacks bad on this behalf, even though i've the feeling people working here are smart, don't know if there are limitations given at the backend or given possibilities to make appropriate product pages.
No, i'm fine with myself most of the time.
