Q u o t e:
So the devs (or the CMs) aren't ready to admit there was no buff planned for this patch until the outcry huh? A little honesty can go a long way. Eh, on second thought keep up the vague statements and double speak. Truly endearing Blizzard in the eyes of the community.
Actually, this is about getting proper information and approvals to share that information. It is not about 'making stuff up' or anything else that some people seem to cling to.
Let me clarify something that other CMs have said in the past. We are not customer service. We are not obligated to answer questions.
Never once have I played up being 'girly' nor does any one person pay my salary. The company I work for pays my salary. If you all read the robe comment as anything other than what it was, that's your own personal inferences at work. Don't mistake me being nice for me not having the ability to defend myself should you self-righteously decide to attack me on a personal level. Don't speak of professionalism and then accuse me of some personality trait that I don't have and make it personal.
We will continue to work to get people information no matter how many posts you put up accusing us of not caring, not trying hard enough or any other slight you feel necessary to fling our way. We do this because we feel that it's far better to do what we can to share as much information as we can than to be silent.
If people take this as lashing out or any other thing, believe me it's not. I'm not angry, upset or hurt but I am making sure to clarify that I am not a doormat for people who choose to make rude comments or attack me or any of the rest of the team. For those that continue to be patient and supportive of our efforts, you are greatly appreciated.
