^^ This emote is all it takes to convince people youâre saving wow? Thatâs literally the only part of Ybarraâs tweet that was his. He was just sharing a post from IV.
Also, Iâve used that emote in posts so many times, and yet⌠no one is calling me wowâs saviorâŚ? 
Bah!
Settle down over there
Itâll be ok
Weâve done set bonuses for years in the past and it was ok
So you mean he actually plays the game at a high level ?
Sounds like the type of guy you want in charge.
âi wanted executives who play the game, but only if they play it the exact same way i doâ
Meaning they DONâT play it, but do complain on the forums a lot. 
I own lots of guns, you donât see me shooting up any business or school. Odd how that logic works of yours.
Thereâs 5 slots, 1 of which isnât a Tier slot.
Sounds logical until you realize Ion Hazzikostas was considered a top tier raider before coming aboard and eventually becoming the Game Lead.
The Team president might not have a say about what plays and strategies are used on the Field, but he sure can fire the coach.
Ion didnât even mog his gear. Didnât do keys, didnât do anything but raid log. And now it seems Ion even quit his own game.
Mike actually plays the game.
ive already had to respond to a couple of these already. i want to respect your reply by responding but dont feel like typing it out again. if its not too much trouble, could you scroll up and see my other responses?
lol. sry for being lazy.
YeahâŚIâm talking about a time before Transmogging was even in the game.
Yeah, but since Classic launched, we can see how bad the game was back then, instead of relying on rose colored glasses, so frankly that doesnât say much about him if thatâs the game he likes.
Mike Ybarra will make WOW great again
-Dendritus mashes her X button with furious distrust.-
This is one of the worst arguments Iâve ever seen lol. What are you even talking about?
The easiest and most efficient way for high level players to make gold is to sell boosts plain and simple. Like I said if you could do it you would.
Iâve read them, Iâm still not convinced why youâre mad at the guy.
Selling carries has nothing to do with tokens. Players who do it (Iâve done it myself a few times) donât do it to âsell tokensâ, we just do it for the gold. I mean some people will never do a +15 key on their own or never touch Mythic raiding, but they have money and they want the mount/gear.
Weâre super nice to them on voice and in chat, we treat them like royalty, we funnel them every drop. For us : itâs just doing the content with a slight handicap.
I donât get why you think this is all a ploy for financials, Mike isnât selling carries to help token sells just like I wasnât doing carries to help token sales. Itâs just because we can, itâs free gold.
And yet you donât see how youâre destroying your own argument here. Itâs literally the same point youâre trying to make with âYbarra good!â. Ion played the game too, and obviously wasnât good for the direction of the game.
I just assume a lot of carry buyers buy tokens to fund their carry purchases.
Iâm not mad at the guy.
Iâm just giving my thoughts on the kind of direction he might put the company on.
Only to be replaced by something more sinister 
The fact he likes the good content (Mythic+, raiding) and dislikes the bad systems like Shards of Domination, in line with what most of WoW players want more of and less of ?
Sounds like heâs way more in touch than Ion ever was.
No, in fact, Ion never actually played the game. He raided in the game, but he didnât seem to play it much.
See him as a player instead of an exec then maybe ? Think why heâs boosting, and realise that itâs not just Blizzard employees who sell carries, itâs a massive amount of high end players. Obviously itâs not about tokens to those who do it.
I mean, thatâs why I even brought it up. He does Carrieâs. Heâs also responsible for making the company money. Tokens and Carrieâs go hand in hand.
Until proven by his actions, Iâll assume he will push the game in a direction that increases boosting and token sales.
Thereâs nothing about the guy that screams ânow this guy definitely wonât make token sales a priority. Instead heâll make a good game and increase subscription salesâ.
Itâs all assuming.
