it's funny how because someone disagrees it makes them a troll. I disagree with this post. It sounds like it was written by GC himself, everything down to the grammar and the self-important talk like ""The topics are infinitely complex, often times requiring high level education to understand completely; especially in such a huge system like WoW. ""
According to this article the people who are unhappy with the game have been playing for 5 years. I think that alone makes them qualified to comment on something as complex as balancing a video game. If you are not happy with the direction of the game, then I URGE you to make a post about it in the role forums. If GC is getting pissy because people disagree with certain changes, then maybe he should rethink those changes, or at least take into account why people are complaining. Brushing off criticism as 'trolling' is just Blizzards way of dealing with negative PR and silencing the "vocal minority".
If everyone was like Mr Tastix and putting GC on a holy pedestal then Blizzard would rob every customer blind if they were given the chance. They are a company (only reason they care about you is because you pay, you have a sentimental connection with GC, but I assure you he just wants to keep you playing so he keeps his bank account overflowing), and they are in bed with activision after all...Also, yes I am one of those conspiracy theorists that believe the game is purposely imbalanced to add another carrot to the stick so we all keep chasing the game, and paying the subscription fees.
Back on topic. Please change the author of this post from Adam Holisky to ghostcrawler. I know you probably got paid a nice sum for this PR stunt, but trying to fix problems with the game by silencing the people who criticize is not going to solve anything. It's just going to drive people away, and expose Blizzard for the type of company they are becoming. People are not happy with the way they are being treated as long time players, people are not happy with the direction of the game, and people are not happy with wow. This is the reality, and trying to marginalize it by "shaming them for having a different opinion" is SHAMEFUL.
