It has been an honor. But the time has come for me to adventure elsewhere within Azeroth, and tackle a different challenge... Cards! I'll see you soon, Hearthstone fans!

    When you lead a team you are responsible for everything and if you are a good leader you take responsibility for everything. That's how leadership works. Stay tuned for my lecture about how water is wet.

    Hardly anyone that posts here has played WoW in many years so you can just completely ignore what they have to say about it it. *shrug*

    Thank god. Guy didn't even own a mouse. I'm sure he'll be great at Hearthstone though, since that game is very casual friendly and no skill cap.

    I agree that he was very rude and I am glad to see him gone. I've never felt this way about any other dev in any game.

    Good. He wasnt up to the task. Made class design one of the most boring aspects of WoW.

    He will not be missed. He's responsible for much of the horrific state of specs and balance right now.

    Maybe he will ruin HS to dust!

    As someone who has worked in customer service for decades, I would have fired him a long time ago. I hope he does better in Hearthstone.
    Agreed.

    Worst part of it was on the wow twitter handle he would post non wow related things. Tablet pruner had no or little passion for WoW.

    Yes! Totally agree. It was apparent that for him, this was just a job. It didn't feel like a career that he was passionate about, and it showed in his communications.

    Ion is cleaning house of all the shitters.
    As long as he doesn't clean himself too, what's the point?

    The thing I hated the most about Celestalon was that he seemed to talk about everything but Warcraft, in regards to his twitter usage. I started following him on twitter cause he was a blizzard dev, however, all this guy ever talked about was other games or his blue-hair dying escapades. I actually also meet him irl at a blizzcon at the Hilton when everyone was getting drunk. I didn't say much to him cause my friend was talking to him and my friend actually put his arm around him. After the conversation he wiped off his shirt and re adjusted his shirt(with that smug expression on his face) and walked off. I didn't say anything to him but acknowledged his presence. My impression of this guy is he would not be who he is or be who he is now, outside the confines of the weird blizzard community. Hes like that weird guy that you maybe saw in high school that never fit in but always had that personality flare however soft-spoken. This isn't someone I would associate with in any scenario, idk, maybe I judge too hard, but bottom line, hes an arrogant asshole whose very appearance annoys me.
