Makes sense. Guy kinda always looks like he’s on a lot of adderall or something in interviews with the way he bobs his head up and down. Those eyes tell me, medicated.

LOL.
I’m the real iron. Less talk? MOAR RAID.
Lol he seriously needs to get with the program that people need more than extreme raiding and grinding to hold a sub. Despite what it looks like, people are starting to wake up to manipulative crap that games pull and they’re going to need to start allowing fun, or other kinds of fun if you genuinely think raiding is fun, if they’re going to get those precious subs back. The massive exodus drift of player subs during SL is big obvious evidence of thise.
Otherwise, microsoft is paying VERY close attention to Iron right now lmao.

I mean, right? Who wears that crap to an interview. Sheesh.
I’m sure he’s an intelligent and nice person, but as lead dev for WoW, that’s a whole lot of nope right there.
Semper Fi!

It’s leaders and champions of the people like Ion that help shape WoW to be the masterpiece and Cutting Edge Gaming that it is today. Dont let the ffxiv fangirls bully you op, they hate when anything good is said about blizzard~ we will wish them the best, because playing FFXIV is the only True Suffering and Horror so they desperately need our blessings 
Of course he is very intelligent but even the best of intentions can fall flat. He is entirely too focused on the one percent of gamers at the top end. Too much development time around mythic raiding is bad for the health of the game.

We are already 2, the news devs think with their money than with their heads, we don’t know what will happen in the future of the company’s games.
However, there is no longer any reason to be satisfied and support the company that unfortunately hides from the community if in fact its current video games are entertaining as it should be seen for its first decades, obviously someone would settle for saying, if it is not entertaining, no I buy it, but that’s not the problem when there is consumerism in developing the story through its RPG that is being lost a bit.
DF is wishing a lot, but only wishing, I don’t think negatively if it will be the same as what happened with 2 bad expansions after Legion, but the company failed a bit in a majority if it really promises if this expansion is going to be the best, and I have many examples because in his reveal expansion trailers he did not make the effort to recover the community that turned its back on him after 2 bad expansions.
But nonetheless it doesn’t matter, I’ve already decided, and WotLK: Classic would be my only hope to freely enjoy the game as I want.

I’ve seen him give some interviews focused more on the world than raiding. I think this one was obviously about raiding because of the interviewer.
snickers and wiggles toes
The ability of a Lawyer hinges on the knowledge, charisma and how prepared they are. That’s why Ion is a perfect fit for interviews, because he is used to this work before. This reminds me, wasn’t Hazzikostas the one who suggested Blizzard his former employee as Union-buster during the harassment-scandal?

“The Dark Ion moves us all.”
I’d say he’s a terrible fit for it.
Ion has always seemed reasonable, lawyerly, analytical, calm, etc. etc. Everything you’d want a game director to be.
The PROBLEM I’d suggest is that Ion has been there since WoD and it’s been train wreck after train wreck after train wreck with the one slim exception of Legion, and it’s gotten to the point where Blizzard is so badly off they’re not even viable as an independent co.
If for some reason the MSFT acquisition falls apart, Blizzard is done. Activision is half-done, might be salvageable, but not without a steep horrendous discount. ATVI is like a home seller these days desperately trying to keep their buyer on the hook because HARD TIMES ARE COMING.
