The GM Buff SCANDAL of April 28, 2023

My friends, on this day, April 28th, 2023, I regretfully bring forward tragic news of yet another GM scandal. It was a dark and stormy night and promises of GM buffs were about, with controversy looming around the corner.

Players in PQs (namely Core Blaze) were seduced (no, not by Royal Guard) by the prospect of GM buffs. However, these players were deceived.

For someone who expected to get GM buffs on my 6 characters so I could solo Core Blaze without having to wash, being tricked by false GM promises was immensely disappointing, not to mention it completely disregarded the many other Core Blazers runners who were clearly expecting GM buffs.

You can imagine how moving 6 separate characters to the Core Blaze map is quite a bit more difficult and time consuming than simply pressing the FM button. The missed opportunity in leveling my characters from the time wasted for the Core Blaze attempt & not getting GM buffs on top of that is annoying.

I beseech staff to do the right thing and incorporate Core Blaze into their list of PQs to buff by default for the sake of consistency, to maintain the institutional integrity of staff, and for the good of the realm.

(also it goes without saying that I am demanding compensation for psychological injury and emotional distress)
