Then when the problem isn't solved they get mad when you try to re-open the ticket instead of creating a new one.
I miss being able to talk to a real IT person, tell them my problem and them fixing it. Now it clear that IT performance is graded on their ability to close out tickets in a timely matter. So the incentive is just to close tickets instead of solve problems.
I am sure the issues you guys face from stupid users is just as gear grinding but all of the hoops now to get simple things done in the ticket system is grating.

I hate the IT ticket system as well, I would rather the user call me and I fix the problem right away. The problem is, sometimes it needs research and then I end up posting on CP instead and without a ticket system, 3 weeks later when the mafia game gets finished, people get a little annoyed because I totally forgot what they asked me about.
