So this came to a shock to me as I was browsing the General Discussion section of the WoW Forums today. But it’s official<\/a>. Greg Street AKA ‘Ghostcrawler’ is leaving Blizzard Entertainment.
\nHis reason? To pursue a “great opportunity for something new and exciting”.
\nExactly when will he leave, he hasn’t stated. It could had already started.
\nHere’s another post directly from him making it 110% official.
\nFor ones that don’t know, Ghostcrawler is the one responsible for balancing classes in WoW with all the nerfing and buffing, and a lot of the annoyances and bullshit (like dailies), have come from him.<\/p>\n

Some people are happy. Other people are all “wow.. damn! He’s going to be missed.” Me? I got mixed reactions. I never asked him to be fired or anything like that. Most if not all people that are happy are PvPers and Raiders. Seeing how I’m not either of these, I really have no hate for him<\/em> (just Blizzard in general when things don’t go my way). I’m pretty much Neutral.<\/p>\n

The only thing I did<\/em> dislike about him, is what he said<\/a> about flying mounts (which I’ve already stated my feelings about). But I doubt his decision to leave had to do with that. It possibly had to do with the years of abuse from whiny teenagers that feel entitled to be elitists.<\/p>\n

Overall, I<\/em> wish him luck. He deserves a lot of respect for what he’s gone through to keep WoW as balanced as possible. So, good luck to you, Greg. I hope you find what you’re looking for. I’m sure BlizzCon won’t be the same without you, even though I only attended it in 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
