Did more than anyone else to take Vanguard from bad to worse, mutilating the original game design. Is fat, is a dick, hates PvP. You'd be far-fetched to find a dev the classic EQ crowd dislikes more.

Tons of terrible decisions in Vanguard. Terrible attitude towards his customers. The entire VG community hates him. Personally I can't stand him, he's a total asshole, and his design decisions are fucking horrendous.
I don't need any of that. My Panties of piety automagically block all Pervs from sending me tells thinking I want to cyber with them.
Is there anything good that can be said about this guy? Because from day one this has been the mantra ^
Nothing that would excuse his behavior. Him being the "Director of Development" is without a doubt costing them backers. Likely a shit load of them.
So you only care what Brad has to say and you complain that we are one sided ...

Sillius failed on a ton of patches and content, when they did come months on end later they were broken or nothing worked. Personally for me I dislike the fact they ignored insane crafting exploits in Vanguard that could have at least had those features taken out. They just let massive exploiting continue and let VGs economy tank. Lenny Gullo = Tiraslee as well who designed the original VG raid zone APW. He was the raid lead on VG. APW was meh but I think the dude was a construction worker before Vanguard so coming from construction to raid design he did ok I guess.
Ikik on other hand is awesome. He implemeneted great group content in VG. Content that included named spawns in camps that had PH's with loot that was BiS and very rare, better than even some raid loot which was crazy. The nameds also dropped pieces to summon a raid boss so even if you got crap you at least got an augment or piece of a raid boss spawn item. Ikik designed a bunch of raids as well and was a great dev to raid test with. He listened to feedback and let us watch other guilds raid test which isnt normal at all, but it let us as a group of raid testing guilds come together and discuss ideas and the encounters which was great. Personally once I saw him on the video I pledged, he alone gives me hope.

They will be taking down the original KS video. I rewatched it, its even worse than I remember it. I hope someone downloaded that for future lols.

Silius was the man behind the level cap increase which was VG's worst content update it ever had. It forced people to grind mobs in the shittiest zone ever (Shores of Darkness) after he nerfed the xp on all standard lvl 50 content (Nusibe, Old Targ, Rahz Inkur, etc.) Our guild resorted to killing guards over and over just to avoid SoD, but he nerfed that eventually too. The guy was just incompetent when it came to creating new content, this is why most VG players hated him.
