This discussion has little relevance to this forum.
To set the record straight, Tom is the game director of WoW. He is ultimately in charge of the development of the entire game. We work together very closely. Any change in philosophy in WoW is because the designers as a group thought it was a good idea. If anyone tried to push through a change that selfishly benefited their own class, the other designers would call us on it -- and rightly so.
