[quote name='Goozex']Hey everyone!
Gotta run real fast so just some quick answers...will review if I missed anything...
First though, met Mahzilla yesterday in San Francisco -- only CAG to come out -- a few other friends...but overall not the best showing.
Mahzilla is not only a great guy in person, he's become a great asset to Goozex on the CAG forums especially for helping out when I'm away. He walked away with Double Agent for 360 and Metal Slug for Wii, some magazines and other small prizes.
ok the quick answers:
Mr Unoriginal -- there is no recommendation other than if you get the 3 day notice to leave feedback and you haven't received the game then you should start to think about it. Of course it all depends on your personal preference.
Two important points about feedback -- we can always reverse negative or give negative if the system closes. Just send us a note to feedback @ Goozex...
I spoke with Mahzilla about the queue system and since i've got to run, maybe he can chime in on that real quick for me...otherwise I'll tackle that when I have a chance
gpupp -- no eta since we've been in CA. We'll have a status next week when we return to DC. To my understanding, Muze is working on updating their db.
talk to everyone soon![/quote]
Had a great time meeting the goozex people too! We talked for about 2.5 hours on games, running the website, and general life experiences. Fun conversations!
Anyways, as for queues, revealing your spot may be misleading to the user. For example, being the #1 spot in a queue does not guarantee that you'll receive that game right away. People assume that since they're #1, they'll receieve the game very soon, but it may actually be weeks or months before a seller decides to put the game up for trade. Introducing netflix's style of "short wait, long wait, soon" also has the same problem of being misleading as well. I pretty much agree with Goozex's decision not to include queues since they will introduce more problems than necessary to the average user.
All is not lost though, they're trying to come up with some ideas and for a team of three, they've done a great job helping the users and including them when building the site!
