  1. Nope. Here's why: CGC will receive emails for every submission, "when am I getting my stuff back?" Anyone can make something more complex. It takes a touch of genius to simplify things.
  2. Patience, my friend. Patience. This isn't CGC's first rodeo. They know what they're doing when it comes to the processes of grading and encapsulating collectibles. I know that shifting TATs suck, but we don't have any recourse. All we can do is wait.
  3. I think that the emoji went over someone's head. After the first couple of episodes, this show has been somewhat entertaining, at least. I'm not sure how conveying disappointment is being conflated with "hatred". With a $225 million budget, and these great actors/actresses, the writing has been a colossal failure. Is Marvel immune to criticism, or something...?
  4. Paul made another comment on another thread that was a little more specific, but I can't recall which thread that was.
  5. The thing that gives me pause: Are all of the MCU shows going to be this much of a slog? It's tough to see good characters getting mistreated.
  6. I don't "hate" this show. It's just tons of time and money wasted. They built some momentum with Episode 5 and then it fell downhill, which is super disappointing. The show had a lot of potential, with great actors and actresses, and managed to botch it pretty bad.
  7. I understand what you're saying, but you can't fix stupid, no matter how hard you try. Just don't be surprised if you get moderated. Things are pretty tight around here, especially since so many people are just sitting at home with nothing better to do. There are plenty of eye-opening threads on the comic forums where people say ridiculous things and get steamrolled by logic. Always attack the point, not the person.
  8. I think that Mike just doesn't like the name-calling and using "stupid" and "dumb" - that may escalate situations. I wouldn't bother arguing about it, or you may get a warning. I think that it's best we try to stay on-topic and not comment about other users. Just ignore when they call you a troll or a shill. Your informative responses are more valuable than baseless accusations.
  9. The Flash's suit is too dark, though. I wish Aquaman had his awesome one here, too, but the JL one isn't bad. I said before that Cyborg looked good in what I assumed were Snyder scenes.
  10. Unrealistic expectations are not CGC's fault. There is no fine print that says, "TAT estimates are plus/minus 1 week". Complaining isn't going to change anything. CGC knows that they need to reduce TATs, they told us that, and they told us that they're expanding their workforce. Crying until you're blue in the face won't change anything. "...their isn't a good answer..." Actually, there is. There is a correct answer, which is literally the best answer.
  11. Now, for those who did not see Paul post in one of these clone threads, he already conveyed that CGC is working to expand their workforce to reduce TATs. That's not a "broken system".
  12. If relaying facts makes someone a "suck-up", then I'm the biggest one that there is. I love being factual instead of irrational. Anyone with a brain would read what he wrote above and his example about the, "car shop estimating a car being 50 dollars and it being 300 dollars", and immediately notice the false equivalence. Please educate yourself on what a "troll" and "baiting" are. Replying with factual information does not fall under the definition of either term.
  13. You use these words, but they do not mean what you think they mean. That's incorrect. Do you know what looks bad for the community as a whole? People creating 10 threads to complain about TATs when CGC has already publicly commented on the issue. The people responding to put out the fire are not a problem; All they're doing is being informative. Crying wolf also makes the community look immature. Their system is not broken. If you were paying attention to when Paul posted, you wouldn't be spreading this blatant misinformation. Those kinds of statements are what factual people like me have to debunk, for the greater good of the community.
  14. Comic Book Grading and Restoration Issues
  15. That's incorrect. Facts don't care about feelings. The fact that TATs go up by scale depending on tier submissions has nothing to do with anyone's impatient children. The information provided is factual and has no basis of opinion.
