There is another thread about this already.

He`s a dick because he isnt the standard robot FAQ blue?
To be fair, Offical Forum posters are *sometimes" total clowns and spout a massive amount of garbage and abuse, its about time blue posters started speaking their mind.
I would love posts to go like this...
Random Dude: BLIZZ, MY ACCOUNT IS HACKZORZ, ITS YOUR FAULT YOUR SECURITY IS BAD, FIX IT NOW PLOX, I PAY FOR THIS SERVICE, YOU ARE SO BAAAD LOLZ
Blue: Fuck you, Since you feel our service is bad, I have taken the liberty of deleting your account you sad excuse for a human. Now toddle off back to playschool.
Now thats the reponses we need to see!
Agreed, the reply was unprofessional.
The dude who posted might have deserved it, but that doesn't matter since CMs are paid to be professional PR spokespeople and not descend to the level that the customers on the official boards or MMO-c allow ourselves to descend to sometimes.
But I'm afraid you won't find many people on this forum who agree with that sentiment. I remember a big thread on this general issue a couple of months ago and the general consensus was: "Blizzard and the CMs are totally right, if you open your mouth in self-entitled criticism prepare to be smacked down, professionalism or not".
I disagree, but then again, I'm one person and I believe in being a consummate professional, especially if it's the kind of job that CMs have - stressful, but voluntary, well-payed and in an industry most probably dreamed of working in.
- Looks like they took him to some bolt hole in the Wounded Coast.
- I wonder if it's near the Injured Cliffs? Or the Limping Hills? Massive-Head-Trauma-Bay? No? Just me? *sigh* Forget I said anything.
Wait, you're complaining about what he said and not the douche bag that made the topic?
Any video or SS for proof you were actually in there?
Operations were only tested on Friends and Family servers, that is a VERY limited amount of people.
Kind of hard to believe a random new poster on MMO-C happenst to be one of them, at least until that person presents at least little bit of evidence.

He wasn't rude, brash, or outgoing in insulting the poster. He was polite and on level with the regular people who play this game. What people don't realize is that blizz employees are people too.
Personally I think the whiny children that complain to blizz that things are too hard or too easy need to take a reality check and see that for nearly the first time in WoW, more than 5-10% of players can experience ALL content.
That is, in my opinion, one of the biggest successes WoW has ever had.
When dealing with materialistic and entitling children, especially as a forum moderator, sometimes being a bit snarky is a good thing, seeing what they deal with every day and the attitude of posters.
For the longest time I remember people QQ'ing that mods and admins were too robotic and polite, for years, and wouldn't deliver down to earth answers.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the age of enlightenment.

No, it's exactly how they should reply to that kind of garbage.
