Yeah but at some point being an advisor / having a board seat is kind of being out of the loop while retaining a salary, right ? Though I agree with your point about being loaded and having to deal with the day to day stuff, especially if those guys are doing it for decades. I imagine those jobs...
How does that work ? Like for Metzen, at some point are those guys really like "I have a dream job oh wait fuck it I'm too rich let's retire" or are they being pushed out ?
I hope you guys loved Ashran, because Holinka is back : Blizzard finally trying to fix Class design? Holinka back on team as "Lead Combat Designer". : wow
I laughed at them when they announced they want to revive world PvP. It's somehow working really great, especially the "steal yo mob" mechanism where you can jump on a group of players fighting some WQ rare mob at 10% hp, wipe them and get the kill while depriving them of it.
I've just tried it and it doesn't work : with full gear I'm at 336ilvl, with both rings stored in bank I'm still at 336 on the character sheet. Also with or without rings the mobs health stay the same (49870hp for a north Tiragarde fox) and damage is obviously way higher with rings equipped.
