The Jay Wilson who somewhat deliberately (or he is just clueless) destroyed everything that was good in D2 and released some sort of abomination called D3? That guy?

Hopefully all my 90s stop getting nerfed every 24 hours. Perhaps ill reactivate my account in 4 months if classes stop getting nerfed
Is that true he killed rogues and constantly showed them no love over warriors?
could it be that the reason he left was to go work on the Warcraft movie ?
I do wonder what this implies for the game going forward. The "ding dong the witch is dead, now the game can go back to what it was" people are very likely to be disappointed though.
I doubt he was canned, but perhaps it's more likely he was to be moved to a position of lesser (perhaps much lesser) responsibility. If that were to happen, I could easily see him deciding to leave for a company that would use him more effectively.
If I blame GC for anything, it's over-complexification of talents and rotations. You see them talking about an "ability squish" now; that's a tacit admission they may have gone too far. Compare WoW to some competing games with fewer buttons/keybinds.
Blaming GC for things outside his sphere of responsibility, like end game tuning, is not proper IMO.

"Do you want a game with no casuals so about 500 players?"
It will be fun when WoD haven't changed a bit and you tools realise that all the things you hate about the game was not the fault of GC alone.
If Seth MacFarlane would leave Family Guy I would be like "oh noes wtf", but for this I'm like "nice, let's try someone new". Is that a reflection on him?
Finaly. He should've never been working on wow now we need to get rid of other useless morons from dev team!
But GL to your next project which you're planning to ruin sayonara we dont miss you!
Woooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST NEWS IN YEARS... this should be on the cover of the next expansion. Bye bye mages time to suck it.
Where the hell did mages come from? He played a Holy Priest. lol
OT: I'm honestly kinda sad to see him go, and I've been thinking along the same lines of Osmeric and Last Starfighter.... I figure he left over something happening in the next bit. During Blizzcon he was VERY quiet, and avoided the spot light as much as possible, so I was wondering what was up.... I guess we know now.
I do wish him all the best in the future, he was a seriously passionate man, and I firmly believe he did quite a bit of good to WoW. Whoever takes over his position, will have exceptionally large shoes to fill.
"In life, I was raised to hate the undead. Trained to destroy them. When I became Forsaken, I hated myself most of all. But now I see it is the Alliance that fosters this malice. The human kingdoms shun their former brothers and sisters because we remind them what's lurking beneath the facade of flesh. It's time to end their cycle of hatred. The Alliance deserves to fall." - Lilian Voss
Hope it's not because off all the 11 years old flamming him for everything, even stuff he had no part in. Well hope you get a better and less stressful job GC and good luck.
Best News in years, maybe we finally get some class balance. Dont let the door hit you on the way out
