What annoys me about being an Xbox.com MVP
It isnt the fact that I am an Xbox MVP, that I hate. NOOOOO
Way. The product is so cool, the team that I moderator with (most
are also MVPs) are amazing, my MVP lead is the freakin BEST YOU CAN
GET, and the Xbox Product team is probably the best team you can work
with at Microsoft. Down to earth people, who are funny, but when
the time comes, they are helpful and do their job (provide us with info
:))
What I hate, is the LACK of respect the the Xbox MVPs get. I am
part of the beta for a program (Great job team!, but, I am not sure I
can say just yet...I think I can, but wont take a chance), and I am in
the beta newsgroup. The discussion game up for Xbox360 gamercard
support in the program. Seeing that, I was all for it. I
posted saying it would be a great feature (especially to add on top of
the contact card). I stated "Some of the other Xbox MVPs, and
myself....". So, someone replies with "You are an Xbox MVP, must
have been hard to get :P) Yea, it was. The amount of
knowledge and time I put in helping the community, got me the
recognition. I didnt do it for the award, the award was just the
bonus.
I dont even know if this dude is an MVP. He is testing some software, but doesnt mention he is an MVP.
Oh and also forgot, when the MVP summit rolled around, the BIG thing
was the Xbox360, and many many many MVPs (not with the division) wanted
to get in. They want all the benefits, but some just think it is
a JOKE to be an XBox MVP. ugh
