I am still always baffled by how wow is like the promised land of social and mental reasearching. Blizz must hire therapists to design the game. Ghostcrawler promised me a psychiatric evaluation. Should be any time now -- we got the pony.

My confusion was on the word "must."

So, did you read it like "it must be the case that what Blizz does is hire the rapists to design the game", or "it is imperative that Blizz hires the rapists to design the game"?

Blizzard has a team analysts working on this and you say they have therapists also? My word, I think they have a team of twice over professionals here, some kind of new combination, the world's first analrapists!

To be a good MMO producer you must be part mathematician, programmer, analyst, psychologist, philosopher, sociologist, artist, and writer.

Thanks, Alanid. I'll forever read therapists as 'The rapists' now.
