GC, Your long deserved appreciation.

Ill start off by saying that since WOTLK came out I havent agreed with all of your decisions, and I probably felt that way because my class had been in such a sad state for so long, and being dominated by Overpowered combos was just too much to bear for the months that myself and many others had to endure it.

But you have done a great job balancing classes in 3.1

And honestly I want to say thank you for your new stance on the current state of arenas. Fast action towards balance is always appreciated. Immediately fixing the Priest/Rogue faceroll combo was a good start rather then letting them dominate for 5 months.

Thanks GC for the quick balance changes, im sure we can all expect more in the future when combos get out of hand.

:).

And yes I will change my guild name now.

We don't expect you to agree with all of our decisions, and we are happy to provide you a place to disagree with us, provided you do it in a civil fashion.

Even if you disagree with something specific, I hope it is obvious that our goal with many of these changes is to create a relatively balanced game, since balance is an important component of fun for so many of us. (Balance is not the impetus for every change we make however.)

I also want to point out that there are many designers working on WoW. I sometimes receive too much personal credit just because I post a lot. I know you don't necessarily know their names, but the guys who work on my team are the ones who deserve any appreciation for getting the game balance as close as it is. Which, I will add, is not perfect by any stretch, but is definitely trending in a good direction.
