Did he just compare WoW to sausages?

There are those who play tank classes, and those that tank.
The weapon is only as good as the person wielding it.
Free advice is often worth what you pay for it: nothing.

I'm surprised he has time to post these blogs while getting fitted for his invisible clothes.

I read the whole first part but skimmed the last and I think that his opening statement was out of context. As in, he didn't explain the context before making the statement or immediately after. Apparently forum posters were saying he "posts as if from on high" and he was poking fun at them.



Poking fun? He was openly baring his contempt for the plebes who didn't understand his brilliance the way he did.

I've been saying that to myself since

Oh yeah, that was my first take on it when I read it. Just saying though I think he meant sarcasm but utterly failed and his statement just came out rude, and aloof. Believe me, his attitude towards the players is very offensive in my opinion.

This reminds me of how cops get after they work the job for enough years. You know you are either a cop, a criminal, or an a$$hole to a police officer. Same thing for these devs. They have this idea that all players are just like the vocal, rude .0001% of the playerbase that posts comments on the OF.

And the sad part is, GC and the rest at blizzard are too arrogant to realize that they DESERVE the rudeness they are getting from the customers at this point.

I agree, the title of this proves how detached he is from the playerbase, whether he intended it to or not.

They really are oblivious to their own forums.



They delete nearly all negative threads and forum ban anyone who posts negatively on their threads, so what is there for them to see?

Developer1; We have a problem. No one wants to be a tank. Queue times for DPS is getting close to an hour. Many say that playing a tank is just not fun. Anyone have a solution?


Developer2; I have an idea. Let's making playing a tank even harder.


Developer1; Great idea! That should spark some interest.
