Why has Bashiok not been put on a leash?!?

Isn't this the same genius who's comments nearly killed Diablo 3? From a marketing point of view alone, why would you let this self serving preacher downtalk to the players like we are retarded at the same time you are trying to sell pre-orders?

At least ghostcrawler shot straight from the hip. Don't say flying conflicts with the true nature of the intent of the game when we know the real reason is you don't want to spend the time and resources on stitching the landscape together to allow flying.

I have been playing this game for 10 straight years and for the first time I am wondering if my time with blizzard is coming to an end. Don't tell me how flying is cheating me of experiencing the game then go and sell instant 90's.

This guy clearly should not be allowed to speak to the general population unless three people check his message. Mostly the PR and marketing department.
