Tseric Tseric was a Blizz ard employee and Community Manager for the US " World of Warcraft " forums . Other Blizzard employees on Tseric . Drokthul - " Tseric is a genuinely good person , and has an amazing command of the English language . There have been times when I have turned to him rather than going to dictionary . com or other such sites to find definitions . " A memorable end . On May 13th 2007 , after a series of postings in the Shaman class forums , Tseric posted the following about his job , the challenges he deals with and his relationship with the community . The thread was deleted shortly after . A full archive of all his responses can be found on BlueTracker . A couple of posts in particular were held to be particularly insightful : When you can understand how a group of belligerent and angry posters can drive away people from this game with an uncrafted and improvisational campaign of misery and spin - doctoring , then perhaps , you can understand the decisions I make . Until you face mobs of psychology , you will not see my side . 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 . You will not understand until you have to see it daily , for years . . . Until you understand that many people will trod over you to get where they ' re going , or to get what they want . Until you understand that so many people will agree , completely , 100 % with a loud , vulgar and assertive individual , not because he is right , but because he is making a stand against " the Man " ; to take no critical thought in what they say , but simply to hop on board . Until you actually try to acknowledge those who do not speak on the forums , for whatever reason they have , you will not understand . If you think an archaic business formula like " the customer is always right " works , you fail to understand customers , not a customer . It is a collective . No one person , even myself , is truly above the whole . I simply have the unfortunate quality of being easily singled out . Can ' t help it . Posting impassionately , they say you don ' t care . Posting nothing , they say you ignore . Posting with passion , you incite trolls . Posting fluff , you say nonsense . Post with what facts you have , they whittle down with rationale . There is no win . There is only slow degradation . Take note . It is the first and only time you ' ll see someone in my position make that position . You can be me when I ' m gone . Final post . Tseric ' s last documented post was at 02 : 30 : 57 AM PDT on May 13th 2007 . His post was in response to a Skinning a bear - like thread , in which the original poster stated the following : Killing a Tseric should aggro every Tserics in a 40 yd radius . It makes sense , you are actually killing their best friend . Tseric ' s response to this thread , which would become his final post as a CM on the World of Warcraft official forums , was as follows : I ' m sure you all think you ' re hilarious in your own space / mind . Get off my internet . kthx Coreiel later modified her signature to read : " Flaming a blue should aggro every blues . It makes sense " Coreiel left Blizzard shortly afterwards . Eyonix ' s announcement . On May 17th 2007 ( the following Thursday ) , in response to a thread about a new CM job opportunity , Eyonix revealed that Tseric had indeed moved on to different things . No further information was given : Tseric is now pursuing other opportunities and we wish him the best in his future endeavors . It is not known exactly when Tseric put in his resignation or if it was planned ; however , due to the fact that his final response appeared bitter in nature and was early on a Sunday morning , it is likely that he posted it while outside the office and resigned the following Monday . Some people speculate that Tseric was fired - this rumor likely stems from the fact that the thread about his job challenges was deleted . Either way , many people agree that regardless of who made the decision , it was most likely made in the five day time span between his final post and Eyonix ' s announcement . Community response . Player response to Tseric ' s departure was mixed , responses spreading across various internet sites . On WOW Insider , several bloggers defended Tseric as an " excellent CM " , while others praised him for his " resolve and strength of character " and criticized forum posters for " mercilessly taunting him " . Others believed he was out of line , and could have shown more professionalism . On the official forums , Tseric ' s departure sparked debate scattered across multiple forum sub - sections ( including the General section , class forums , and various realm forums ) . Tseric update . In early March of 2008 , Drysc entered a thread titled " If you could ask a CM anything . . . " on the General Forum and began answering a wide variety of questions with , seemingly , as high a degree of candor as he felt comfortable with . Zalud from the realm Moon Guard asked a series of questions the fifth of which simply asked , " Tseric . Quit or fired ? " Drysc , in his response to this particular question responded , " If I answer you might ask the same thing of me tomorrow . " Either way , it seems clear that too much discussion over Tseric ' s departure is taboo .
