Thanks for everything Ythisens. I know you tried your best, and for my part I appreciated it heavily. You and Tseric are always going to be the two best people I had the pleasure of knowing on these forums. Stay in touch on your characters if nothing else, and if you still play.
Probably one of the FINEST CMs we ever had and today, gets kicked from a company he cared so much about. Not only that, but from a COMMUNITY of passionate players like others here including me.
Ythisens was our last line of defense and hope, and now that line has been crossed releasing him from a position of trust and common sense.
You may maynot agree but as far as āimproving communicationsā as far as Ion making that statements, it went out the door along with Ythisens today, there will NEVER be anyone else who can fill the vacancy, void, shoes what ever you want to call it.
If Yth is reading this, I made comments in the past and your replies were snarky sure, but YOU SIR made our day in one way or another, Best of luck where ever you go.

This sucksā¦ probably one of the hardest things Iāve read on the forums in my over 10 years of playing WoW. Ythisens was the best CM this forum has ever had, in my opinion; he made such an impact in a short amount of time.
Lately, Iāve been struggling to find the motivation to continue playing WoW, and news like this doesnāt make it easier.
Good luck with everything, Ythisens. You should have no problem finding another position in the industry, and any company would be lucky to have you.

Metro is easily the most toxic, blinded-by-ego narcissist on the forums. Its not even really close any more.

Well thatās crap.
Heās probably out of here, but: Sorry you got the chop, Ythisens. Best of luck to you in every endeavor.
But -
donāt posters here keep ridiculing anyone who says Activision has any control over Blizzard?
Leviathon, I do hope you know which Acti-asses to kiss and which toes to carefully step around to keep your own job.

Although I agree he will be missed, business is business.
edit that before you get a banā¦
And the only business they care is about is selling mobile games to China
awā¦I just wanna give em a hug. It SUCKS to lose a dream job like that.
My Mom was heart broken when her first job at a hospital as a nurse didnāt last. Oh she didnāt get fired. The whole freaking hospital was closed down. She later found another hospital but it took awhile. And it broke my heart to see her in that long time between first hospital and 2nd other hospital
Typical behavior from our resident āMVP.ā If he isnāt paid id be shocked.
His attitude matches up nicely with Blizzards towards the community that PAYS TO PLAY ITS GAME!
Gross.

LOLā¦
You obviously play this gameā¦I would have to assume others.
If they donāt operate in the greenā¦wellā¦cuts are made.
You all are getting what you wantedā¦the death of Blizzard.
Canāt complain about losing one employee when you all could possibly term them allā¦LOL
Not what I wanted at all. I wanted to Blizz get back to being Blizz. That no longer seems possible.
Is this supposed to make a point at all?
In the business world, choices have to be made. I can only assume because he was a long time employee that his salary was highā¦why? To manage the forums? Easy cutā¦just saying.
ActivisionBlizzard had record profits for the past year (2018). They made cuts because the top execs/stockholders wanted more money. Nothing more, nothing less. There was no decline in profits at all.
Itās just a shame that honest to god good employees who loved their job were cut & itās sickening seeing people say āyou reap what you sowā. He was an amazing CM & his team has really improved the social atmosphere of WoW in the past few years. He. Legitimately. Cared.
I am not disputing whether or not he cared. I agree. I am just saying that stuff happens, decisions are made, and he got the axeā¦
That is how the world worksā¦you can cry all night about it, but in the end, nothing going to change it.
You do realize that cutting CM and QA employees points to a blatant disregard for the thoughts of your players right?
Yes its a business, cutting out your channels to customer feedback until you hear nothing is a sure fire way to end up with products no one wants. I would understand if the company were at risk of going bankrupt, but theyāre posting record profits.
It isnāt worth the trimming in expenses, not with a mountain of cash sitting like Blizzard has.
