MY OPINION
Gabit took an idea from Gatecon....fans arranging get togethers for other fans and succeeded where Gatecon failed. Don't get me wrong, I applaud what Gatecon did. However I also personally got beyond tired of watching some staff members schmooze with the guests instead of doing their jobs, the disorganization, not malicious, just...disorganized. Then the perpetual and constant 'don't you dare have an issue with this, we're not pros, we're just fans, give us a break'....FOR ME, worked for a while but after a few years and the 'we're just fans' excuse kept getting trotted out when fubars like hundreds of fans missing their photo and auto ops because the person in the main room stopped announcing numbers and no one would listen to us when we tried to complain. Or hundreds of fans missing a chance for a set tour lotto because they decided to hold it somewhere else at the last moment or other such things that resulted in fans literally losing out, I got sick of that excuse. When the number of events you're hosting enters the double digits and you're still making rookie mistakes and getting personally upset when people dare to complain, something just ain't right.
You'd go to one of those events on the lookout for miscommunication and mentally prepared to have it end with you not getting what you'd been promised or to have things change at the last minute.
Gabit isn't always perfect. Mistakes get made. But they're just that, mistakes. And they do their best to make it right instead of hiding behind the 'we're just fans' sign. They treat people the way they want to be treated instead of - as I witnessed - some members of the gatecon staff spending time with the actors instead of doing their jobs.
With Gabit there is no stress. There is no 'overpromises'.
IN MY OPINION, Gabit learned from Gatecon's mistakes and stepped up with an air of professionalism and honesty that creates a general open and positive atmosphere. They're not just there to boost their own egos setting up a con to get fans an experience but - at the same time - getting fans to pay for things. They're there to do everything practically and humanly possible to treat attendees like they'd like to be treated.
Creation....they're there to run a business and make money. It's nothing personal. It's their job. It's something they do several times a year and it's assembly line. They can't do it any other way, not to do as many cons as they have done in the time spans they do them in. It's a business and they're in there to make a profit because it's their full time jobs.
With creation, you will usually get what you're promised....just might take hours and hours and hours. Unless of course you're willing to shell out tons of money. You get to have the best experience you can pay for.
