So Long, and Thanks for All the Spectral Fish

Also all these people talking about "HURR NOW WE CAN GET OUR OLD GAME BACK!!!!!!1111"

You do realise he has been with Blizzard since Feb 2008.

You also do realise this means he was around during most of TBC and ALL of Wrath.

So all the haters that think he was responsible for WoW's decline, he was there when the game was at its Peak.

[The Hero of Legend]

That's for everything Greg, you've put up with a lot and I highly respect you for that.

Good luck in your future job you will be missed.

Miss you, buddy.

[Super Kami Dende]

as community manager

He's always been a game designer since he started.

Hence why he was hired, he went from Lead Game designer at ensemble designing the Age of Empires series and moved to Blizzard to Game design on WoW.

[MasterHamster]

People celebrating his departure are in for a rude awakening as the overall direction of the game and it's design won't change anywhere near their preferred one

[Sanctify]

The man has answered a monstrous amount of tweets. For better or worse, you cant really argue that he had an active participation in molding WoW into what it is today.

[RickJamesLich]

He came, he saw, he made the game incredibly homogenized and boring. Farewell Ghostcrawler.

Another "If only they had done what I like this 10 year old game would never lose subscriptions" poster.
There is only one course of action for you. His position is open. Stop posting on this forum right now and get your application in to Blizzard right away. Make sure you provide them with all your proof on how your designs will bring back all the masses.
Seriously, not another post. Get going!

So good, so good. Well done. +1 Internets

[Maleagant]

Good luck on your future endeavors Greg Street nothing wrong with change.

The comments I'm seeing in this depress me.

It's like I'm on Youtube for christ's sake. Absolutely disgusting.

He did a fine job, better than ANY of you could do, and he did well in helping make the most popular MMO on the gaming market.

Yet all you people can do is attack him.

Like you could ever do better yourselves, ever. You'd just give buffs to your main class (just damage %s cause everything else would be too much work), and make a blank stupid face at everything else not knowing what the hell to do because it's too complex for you.

Myself included, but at least I'm not saying Ghostcrawler was bad, I actually think he was brilliant.

[Noomz]

Best of luck in whatever you're gonna do next, Greg!

Now it's time to see how wrong all the haters are.

[Honeyprime]

Wow, that came out of left field. Even though I didn't agree with everything you said or did you still did one hell of a job, especially communicating with this fanbase. Much luck to you Greg. I, for one, will miss you.

[ro9ue]

The most shocking part of all of this: he didn't play a Mage.

[Umbrokill]

I really liked Greg, sad to see him leave.
And holy shit, so many people ignorant on how the game is designed.

[inkberry]

No offense greg, but this might actually inspire me to come back to WoW. WoW after greg street was a completely different game. Wasn't nearly as good imo.

Good luck.

[Deleted]

I still collected lots of Pony's, GC. And nightsaber's. And dragons. And many other mounts. And I loved your fish swimming under the water that you wanted in the game, very relaxing.

All the best.

[Deleted]

QUICK! Get the VODKA!

No offense greg, but this might actually inspire me to come back to WoW. WoW after greg street was a completely different game. Wasn't nearly as good imo.

WoW being a different game as the years have gone on is a good thing. I can't imagine this game being like vanilla or BC year after year. That would get so ridiculously boring and repetitive. Blizzard is always trying to mix things up to keep the game fresh and different. Some things I've loved, some, not so much, but at least they're trying different things.

[TrollShaman]

oh wow I wonder how class balance will now unfold with someone to replace GC's job.
Regardless, I wish him all the best and appreciate his effort in balancing 11 classes and dealing with player QQ daily.
