How long do CMs play their WoW character

Q u o t e:
A day? Always wanted to know.

There's no one answer we could give you. :) Some raid more than others, some PvP more than others, but all in all, we all take part in various aspects of the game when we can. Keep in mind, while we can log in during work, we are often doing so to test things, check changes, watch the general chat, or just because we're on a break. But, like anyone that works, our time is spent on work (which includes getting to spend time with you all!)

After work, we go home and spend time with our families/friends/significant others or hop on to join a guild raid etc. the same as anyone else. We obviously need to keep on top of what is happening in the game and I couldn't point out any member who doesn't have at least one max level character if not additional characters at max or nearing max level.

Q u o t e:
How do you live WoW at work all day and then be able to stomach it when you arent getting paid?

id be sick of it.

Like anything else, you take breaks now and then. But, the great part about working on a game you enjoy is that you mostly look forward to being able to go home and just play and experience the game with everyone else.

Q u o t e:
So when one of you guys are playing a gimped class, do you all cry out for buffs/nerfs?

you were all forced to reroll rets near the end of BC weren't you?

Our experiences definitely come into play with our characters, but we're also in a position where we can get a look at the big picture, give our input, share the input of players, and trust the judgement of the designers.

Q u o t e:


i doubt it i belive they cant log onto their GM accounts unless theyre at work prolly have some speacial authenticator or something

and i also heard they can be fired for doing things like that

We don't have GM powers on live realms. :) We play the same as anyone else.

Q u o t e:
Is there a pvp table in the lunchroom and a raider table in the lunchroom :)

Nope. Not really. We all pretty much just share what we did the night before, who got what new gear, who managed to down what boss, or whatever other things we encountered. It's great being in the lunch room and hearing conversations from other people. ;)

Q u o t e:
The real question is how many CM's and Devs are enjoying their pally DK something team right now on the tourney sever? Cause seriously if they we playing in it and not playing as a DK they would have nerfed rez ally already.

We're not eligible to take part in the Tournament. I will say the test period before intial release was a lot of fun though. ;)

Q u o t e:
Do you guys ever like, complain about how a bunch of shaman loot dropped when there was no shaman in the raid?

We are human after all. So if loot drops for a class that isn't in the group, we lament the same as anyone and hope that the next drop will be 'the one'.

Q u o t e:


I knew it! Blizzard is completely ignorant as to how OP and messed up pvp actually is. You really should go out and buy a account name it john doe sign up for arena tourney and watch as scrub DK's and paladins just ROFL stomp people left and right without even remotely trying. Or all nelf teams just do stupid stuff like insta vanish stuff.

Theres tons of stupid stuff that doesn't belong in pvp. Death grip takes away half of all usable game strategies. No it's not like a charge it's a lets pull the priest from the back of the group into my team and kill it in 3 secs without any chance of him escaping or living through it.

The Tournament is a pay for entry with prizes at the end, thus why we can't take part in that. Though we are perfectly able to take part in normal rated arenas (arena season in game) and Battlegrounds. We're very aware of what all is going on and we also keep an eye on the Tournament to see how things are going and playing out as well. :) We're not as ignorant as you would like to think we are.

That said though, constructive feedback is always welcome, but it shouldn't be placed in this thread.

Q u o t e:

Neth -*cough* boss, I cant come into work today, im really really sick!

Boss -Thats okay , you can have the day off.

Neth -Thanks boss.

Welcome to World of Warcraft!
[Nethaera] has come online.
[Guild] [Nethaera]: Alright whose up for some OS-3?
[Guild] [Morhaime]: What the hell!?

This is what happens when your life revolves around an MMO

Whoa... That never happens... ever. We're consummately-responsible individuals who are wholly driven to take player feedback and funnel it to where it needs to be. We never take days off for ourselves. We understand that our snackrafice is your gain.

Now, if you'll excuse me… Malygos has to die and I need epics.

Q u o t e:
the need to correct raid leaders on how very wrong their doing boss fights must be overwhelming when you want that last epic piece lol.

Sometimes, the urge to correct puggies is strong. Fortunately, mostly I or someone in my guild (except Zar) leads raids. =)

A few of us have a guild, but no we're not all in the same guild or on the same realm.
