He can be the most intelligent participant

This is what I remember of him. He was one of WOW TBC Gold the posters who persuaded me not to get involved and donate something to EJ - like a lurker and use other people's math to my advantage. Ion was real big on jumping down people's throats for daring to contradict himeven though he was obviously wrong. He had been a prick then and he's a prick today.
WoW's current state might be his attempt to fix all of the issues he had with early WoW as a raider, which caters to his particular expertise and tastes, which might just flat out not function in an existing game. It means he's molded it to what he wants, which entailed cutting off chunks and sewing on new ones to attempt to get it to match.
But in the instance of Pardo and Kaplan, they had been designing a fresh new game. They were able to bring each of their experiences out of EQ ahead and apply thembut they were not hacking apart an present game. Maybe if they had been hired to operate on EverQuest, it would have had similarly catastrophic results.
He can be the most intelligent participant but the most incompetent game director. They aren't mutually exclusive. I'm not saying he certainly is incompetent, but my impression from buy WOW Classic TBC Gold the interviews he did is that he don't know what the players need or he is always in a situation where he is at the stage of no return and wind up doubling down and defending the match layouts.
