So I talked to Rivaer for over an hour and a half this evening. (Notice I said 'to' and not with'... lul.) When I got back from work, he was near my main char in town, so I went over and started blabbing on about how the GM's are just a publicity stunt and whatnot. There was a rather large group of non-english speaking people there at this point, so no one could really get his attention. Heck, people wouldn't even stand in a line to get screenshots with him - it was just a big bunch of people. About at this point, I jokingly suggested to old guildmates that I was going to connect multiple chars and set up a stall message to get his attention.
So I did this, and by this point he moved from dw to sk, which was a rather large pain, since I had to move several chars' stalls to get his attention. People were still crowding around... someone even spawned a behemoth on top of him

^ I got one of him actually in my stall. This was after probably 15 minutes of me talking not even knowing if he was still around. Basically I was asking questions about why things weren't being done to fix various problems within the game, and saying how -- well you get the idea, I was basically ranting. He commented that he liked my stalls, and went into my stall on my main char per my request

^ He even said that he got my suggestions and would do something to fix the problems in the game. By this point, I was ecstatic since I wasn't sure if he would even respond to anything I was saying

^ He responded by basically calling me a hypocrite for what I was doing at that point (having *counts* ELEVEN OF MY OWN CHARS connected simultaneously.) You can think whatever you want about me at this point, I don't care. I'm not trying to be some sort of hero or anything, I just knew doing this would catch his attention and get at least some sort of message across.
One of the last things he said to me is in that last SS. He basically eluded to him not being able to do anything about stopping me from doing what I was doing! Saying I should just not bot or just delete the chars... Some of my hope died at that point. I'm still puzzled as to what JM is doing with this new GM team. If they are legitimately trying to make the game better by fixing a few problems like botting/multiclienting, GOOD! ID LOVE TO SEE THAT! Honestly. The game would be more fun that way, even if I have to start from scratch with a new char. But his statement made it seem like they aren't going to do anything. Why would he leave the decision whether to bot or not up to me? It makes no sense.
After that, I blatantly said that he should ban all of my characters, but got no response.

Not sure why I thought it was worth this account to post this, but here it is. I'd love to respond to anyone's comments on the events, but I'm afraid I wont be afforded that opportunity. Actually... note the name of my main account in the pictures. Google it.
Bot support they said.
