Dear people at Paizo,

I know it is a hard time currently for you. I notice it in the panels, in your post the forum or on social media. So I just want to say thank you to all of you!

Thank you for making such a wonderful world! Thank you for making such rich products! Thank you for RPG systems! Thank you for your push to Openness and Inclusiveness! Thank you for the personal and great Customer Service!

While I am not happy with everything, this is because I fear for you. I fear that there is mistreatment of you, the people creating such a wonderful base for all of our hobby. But I do not want you to be unhappy because of my fears or the push of the community. And I think this all is taking a toll on you.

So please let me tell you: Thank you and I love you!

Cheers,
Keras

First, I wish both Sara Marie and Diego all the best. Hopefully you'll find a new job soon.

Second, I wish the remaining Members of the Customer Service all the best too.

Is being on a central European timezone make it hard (or near impossible) to participate to these activities?

From the discord server as of today:

What are the time slots for PaizoCon?

Events will be Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday during the following time slots (all PDT, GMT -7)
0700 - 1200
1300 - 1800
1900 - 2400

Which leads to

ok, then the timeslots for Europe then are (CEST - UTC+2):

1600 - 2100
2200 - 0300
0400 - 0900

Unfortunately this makes it in my opinion hard to participate more than once per day, if not (as in my case) impossible if you miss the first slot. Reasoning for this is in huge part the Paizo staff availability, which is required

To handle issues that are beyond the OC's handling (behavior, monetary, escalation of issues with the HQ staff, etc)

Cleric Healing is absolutely OP versus everybody else. We had a Bard, Angelic Bloodline Sorcerer and an Alchemist. They all felt like idiots when they compared their healing to the Clerics spell point healing, before even talking about his spells! After seeing how harsh battles are, my clear recommendation is to buff other classes healing. You need it. If you want to get away from mandatory clerics, you need to give meaningful options to these other classes to make up for it.

As the Bard I absolutely agree with this view. Small Correction, the cleric did not even used his spell points, as the main healing comes from channel energy which does not cost anything.

thanks for confirming what I assumed :)
