I been wanting to know more about this topic for awhile now and just thought I would ask in the main WoW forums to get some professional answers.

How do you become a GM? Is there some kind of recruiting process? Does blizzard "hire" GM's?

If there is anything you could explain to me would be helpful.

Thanks!

i would relocate to work for blizz in a heartbeat.
i know the forum-master blues get to work from home. I wonder how that works? I wonder if you still have to be in Cali or texas?
i would love to stay up late and Mod the forums from home.


While we do work from home as necessary, we still work full-time at our headquarters in Irvine, Ca.

You're trying too hard.

Sucking up to forum moderators, while sporting a signature insulting the game you're applying for, no doubt does not help your chances.

Fyi,


I dunno, honestly you seem like you're trying too hard. Maybe that's just me.

Trolling requires effort?

Since when?


It's an odd form of social art. It's always required effort.
