I am hoping GC is the one to read this thread before it is deleted, or I am forum banned for making it, whatever.
GC, as you are no doubt aware the playerbase is extremely fickle and there is absolutely no way to please everyone. There are a great many of us who see that you, as a developer with no real ties or duties to informing the playerbase of changes, potential happenings, future occurrences or giving us the insight into the designer's mindset, comes and tries to keep the peace by letting us know just wtf is going on from time to time.
We see you getting more and more frustrated. Frankly, it's reminiscent of Tseric. Anyone remember Tseric? Tseric was an awesome blue who would converse with the playerbase and from time to time (not nearly as frequently as GC however) speak to us on a personal level and give us insight to Blizzard's brainwaves.
Progressively Tseric grew more and more bitter and less friendly until he all but disappeared from the boards. He then came back and exploded one day and was never heard from again.
Keep your realistic view GC, remember that this game is populated by whiners and complainers and there are a great deal of us who see it for as it truly is and exactly what you're doing trying to keep us in the loop. Balance is just that, and it sure as !%#* isn't easy.
In b4 delete.
