READ: This is a thread about favorite Ghostcrawler Memories. There is already a post that you can leave your complaints about him on. Please post constructively.
If you haven't heard, Ghostcrawler is leaivng Blizzard. Whatever opinion you have on him, just remember that he dealt with a LOT of crap on the forums, and communicated more constructively and calmly than anyone before. What is everyone's favorite memories of Mr. Greg Street?
I, for one, will miss him immensely. He has been the bridge between Blizzard and us fans for so long now, and he did an amazing job at it.
I have always been very impressed with how he deals with trolls and angry players. He also was never afraid to admit when he (and Blizzard) was wrong in various places. The WoW community, the vocal forum goers at least, has always been very loud and opinionated, and he very rarely (I've never seen it and I follow all his stuff) would make a snarky comment, and always gave a lot of thought to everything that was said to him, even if it was coming from an angry hunter or mage from an imagined nerf.
So thank you, Greg, you have helped build a much stronger game and have set the standard for communication between fans and developers. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
Here's hoping the next guy can match Ghostcrawlers awesomeness.

For 2 years, I've had a question burning in me. I've tried many times to get it answered, to no avail. There's been twitter Q&As, Facebook Q&As, and general forum Q&As. And now this AMA reddit thing.
All of these I have posted my question on. Other than that, I have posted my question on the forums before. It is not a hard question to answer. Whenever I ask it, I ask it relatively politely without resorting to anger or name-calling. Yet extremely often on this forum I see QQers and whiners responded to by devs for no apparant reason. I posted this on the AMA: TLDR - Give us a title for having 40 titles, like you do with mounts, pets, and tabards! And as expected, I got no answer. I believe the AMA is over now, yes? It's been 90 minutes, so I'm going to make an assumption there. Getting angry and yelling and telling Blizzard how much they suck and that they don't care and all those things that QQers say isn't really my style... but seriously, it gets answers when well thought out posts don't. I know I am QQing here, but if you know the posts I am talking about you know the difference. I really don't want to resort to it, but really, why is this question always ignored? If they don't have an answer, at least acknowledge, say something like "While we understand what you want from this, we don't feel that titles blah blah blah." At least I, and others like myself, will know that this has been considered. I really don't know what else to say, I've been so faithful and so attentive, I just want this answered... |
