Ythisens, you WILL be missed

Golden Yak was all class and lots of fun to communicate with. Farewell to one of the best CMs of WoW history.

It would be ironic if some of the people who have found themselves with no income today were responsible for something you enjoyed in game or were going to enjoy in game.

Whatā€™s so gross about his hair? Itā€™s not like itā€™s dreadlocks :rofl:

Most guys would kill to have a head of hair like that, at least the ones that are going bald.

Farewell Ythisens

262

We might clash heads sometimes, but honestly I can appreciate that you and a few others I disagree with from time to time arenā€™t like that. I will admit it. Just imagine being that scornful and rude as to be estatic that someone is in pain and sad from losing a dream job. Itā€™s mind boggling.

So how long you guys think it will take for another blue to show up on these forums thatā€™s not Ythisens? 4 months? 5? 6? A year?

Place your bets.

264

Sending positive vibes to the people who were laid off. :fist:t6:

265

3 months!

Maybe 1 month?

266

Guess blue tracker will be stale from now.

267

Never. We wonā€™t have any blues left.

268

I didnā€™t always agree with what Ythisens said, but he talked, more than most CMā€™s out there and cared. This isnā€™t fair at all, Iā€™ll miss you :frowning: .

What a crazy time.

Ythisens - Capable, generally liked, does job. Somehow non-essential.

Lore - Almost completely absent from all social media except to plug his Twitch channel. Generally not liked. Job revolves entirely around not setting up streams properly, asking Ion easy questions, and talking about his shaman. ESSENTIAL.

Truthfully, the only people I know with hair like that: play in 80s tribute bands, or are beginning transition surgery.

I really hate to say it, but some times it comes down to seniority over skill. It depends on the company. And itā€™s a shame that Activision/blizzard chose based on seniority and not ability in this case.

It really sucks that Yth got cut, it really does. Layoffs are the absolute worst thing ever. Hopefully he finds new work soon.

Not very confident right now, despite this messageā€¦ Iā€™m glad theyā€™re getting taken care of. But this justā€¦ I donā€™t know. Doesnā€™t seem necessary. Iā€™m not claiming to know everything about a corporation. Far from it. I justā€¦ it seems soā€¦ not cool to do right now.

Fallynn, itā€™s so easy to forget that real human beings are behind the avatar. I know Iā€™ve been guilty of this and if Iā€™ve been unkind to you please accept my apology. This terrible news today has woke me up a bit. I cannot believe how cruel and heartless some of our fellow posters are. I know it can get really toxic here but I honestly expected more from people. More understanding, more compassion toward others and less selfishness about a freakin game we play. :crying_cat_face:

One of the coolest people Iā€™ve ever known had hair just like that. His nickname was twisted and that dude pulled chicks for days. Iā€™d rather hang around long hairs than hipsters any day of the week.

@Ythisens

It was our honor to have you serve as our CM and our voice. Good luck in your next Conquest.

Starla, I agree entirely. Iā€™ve likely gone a bit far in my cruelty as well (though not in this thread, the person I called out entirely needed to be). I expected more as well, Iā€™m glad most of us can come together as a community and feel sad as fellow human beings about the loss of someoneā€™s job, a job that they clearly loved. And yeah, we have to remember itā€™s just a game. Weā€™re all so passionate, which is a beautiful thing. But serious things like this need to be handled with care, and Iā€™m glad most of us are mature enough to handle it.
