I wish more CM's were like Tseric

It's upsetting that Tseric's departure indicates Blizzard's opinion of the forums differs from that encompassed in his last great post. The official forums are garbage, and I feel genuinely sorry for anyone forced to clean them up.

GG is all I have to say.

I gotta agree with Tseric.

"Until you see some bright-eyed player coming onto the forums wanting to know what they should spec as this class, and see them shat on and driven away by petty and selfish people who are simply leveraging for game buffs, you will not understand. "

/agree
/salute Tseric

I went on asking a silly Warlock question when I was young and noobish (not actually young, but still new to the game :D ) and got impossibly shot down because I was using my Voidwalker, rather than Succubus/Imp Drain Tanking.
"omgkn00b diaf kthxbai".

For all its worth, I Drain Tank NOW, but good lord, they are an angry bunch at the official forums.

Sorry Tseric. You were a good CM, from what I saw of you (although I didn't spend much time there).

Tseric was pretty cool, up until the last month or so.

A month does seem sort of telling doesnt it? I imagine he gave his notice, and at that point, was not interested in dealing with peoples bulls**t any more.

/w #8: you read my mind.

No doubt he got fired, he was a horrible CM who honestly did nothing but troll and create unrest with stupid statements like "with 18% to crit you can spam LBs for 5mns".

This has made me so happy, it means blizzard might actually care about its customers.

I was never much of a forum worm myself, but I will say one thing..that guy was cool. Should he ever read this post (which I doubt he will), I wish him the best of luck wherever he works next.

If it was for that ONE explosion, then Blizz is full of noobs in the Human Resources centre...
Good luck Tseric, and check in every once in a while with us !!

Blizzard drops the ball on Tseric: http://www.etherjammer.com/blog/?p=195

Blizzard had a real chance to build community here. They could very easily have said "you know, Tseric is right. The forums suck. Let's crack down on the trolls, the insults, and the general incivility and make these forums productive." Sure, they would have pissed off a bunch of people by doing it - but the people who would have been pissed off are the people causing the problems - the people Blizzard doesn’t want on their forums anyway. They wouldn’t have been losing anyone they wanted to keep around by changing their stance on the forums. And by cracking down and making the forums a useful tool, they would have established a positive reputation among their actual fans.

I guess in the end, it's best to just post generic, pre-written stuff rather than your own opinion. "We'll look into it." "Thanks for your feedback." "Maybe." and so on..

This is actually good for me as I was interested in applying for one of those positions but they didn't have an opening... until now.

Anyone know how much money those guys make?

BTW, Cat Shock would be an awesome shaman/druid spell.

buffshammy: "CAT SHOCK!"
buffshammy casts CAT SHOCK on yetanothernoob.
yetanoternoob: "GET 'EM OFF ME!!!"
yetanoternoob takes 23235 claw/rend damage.
yetantoernoob dies. spits out hairball.

I used to enjoy Tseric's presence on the forums, but he did indeed lose it. He became more interested in slagging idiots then in posting for the benefit of the greater community. I feel sympathy for the great deal of BS he was forced to deal with, but it was clear that he was suffering from a pretty severe case of burn out. I'm sure a lot of us who have had customer service jobs can relate--sometimes you just need to go.

Glad this d-bag is gone. Now they just need to get rid of eyonix and hire some competent people like they have over on the EU forums and we'd be all set.
