At this point I don’t even know what is worse, game dev not playing game at all or actively parcitipating in boosting and openly promoting it on twitter
You could always stop paying.
But meh. Too obvious.
You may now reply with your reason why you just can’t…let… go.
i’m fairly certain a chef tastes his food before he serves it.
She is not a chef, she works in the manufactury. But even tasting and eating are the different things.
Its safe to assume that ever since the lawsuit mess started that his hands are more than full. And i say that as someone that severely dislikes Ion and constantly mocks him.
Ybarra is already playing the game just a couple hours every few days and hes a main M+er so he always has content to play while being one of the Presidents of Blizzard. Ion is still way more the face of WoW than Ybarra is (and will remain to be so until he steps down or gets replaced) with his Character being publicly known since his TBC days.
So when we lawsuit started its more than safe to assume that he was spammed on every character known to the playerbase while also being more than busy irl given hes the head of the WoW team (where most of the lawsuit is focused on). Theres the possibility that hes playing on another toon that isnt transmitting data and as such cant be tracked or on a another account entirely. And that only if we assume that hes still finding the time or peace to do so.
However even if he would still play it wouldnt change much as hes a notorious raid logger that doesnt participate in anything but raids and even there hes ignoring most of the stuff that is “required” (emphasis on the quotation marks) like M+ for weekly gear.
Boosting isnt prohibited. Never was. Never will. His guild is a raiding guild at a reasonable world rank so them boosting is absolutely nothing out of the ordinary even if its just to cover the guild bank for the tier or in this case the next tier next consumables for M+.
I used to buy pizza from Domino’s a lot. I now fear it was a particular one 
If I start getting an urge to ruin people’s mythic runs, I’ve been infected.

I don’t care about boosting being prohibited or not, but it is viewed as a negative. People skipping gameplay and getting rewards they do not deserve is not something a main wow dev is supposed to be promoting.

It’s the same for people that buy mounts for 10 M gold off the BMAH.
You get angry at those as well? Those players should have “been there” instead of skipping the content right?

By you. And on the other hand viewed as positive by guilds that can cover their expenses that way. Or players using the gold for more expensive cosmetics etc etc etc.
Its as old as this game. But it all boils down to special snowflake syndrome from what i can see here.
“Deserve” is a weird one anyway, how on earth do you determine what one “deserves” given most of the loot in this game is awarded on a dice roll lol.
Like, you can do more content than someone else and get less loot. Deserts pretty much flies out the window when you consider this.
As said in other thread, this is trade. ALl trade is basically shortcutting effort using money. I want a car? I buy one. It sure beats having to learn to build one from scratch you know? Does me not being willing to learn to do this mean I don’t “deserve” a car?
Deserve doesn’t even come into it.
I mean, people will always find reasons to be jealous of others:
“I deserved that loot but they awarded it to X,Y,Z despite me being better only cause they are friends with the Officers”
" I got left out of the raid cause they wanted to bring that other trash player instead of me i deserved that spot more"
And so on…
So really not surprising that there are people out there that are jealous and feel invalidated because someone else is getting boosted.
After all it is always easier to put the blame on others/find excuses that actually work for something you want.

Why does it matter if she plays the game or not ? She is the co-leader of Blizzard not WoW.

Even when he was apparently logging in… people said he was only a raid logger. On top of that their area of expertise is reportedly only thinking up raid encounters.
I don’t understand why they got so high up.
True but I’m also highly dismayed by how quickly this community turned their backs on J. Allen Brack when it was expedient to do so, after all he did for them over the years. It shows zero gratefulness on their part. I can’t imagine the level of abandonment he must feel, and I think it’s time for the community to do their part to turn this situation around.

You think you do, but you don’t.
The companies i’ve encountered which wanted you to think of your colleagues as family and perpetuated said family culture by various means were from my experience… companies which want to look good to outsiders, but also make their employees work harder and for more hours than they should contractually. It’s all fake family care, behind it is the usual cold business mentality.
When it came to cutting people off, they’d do it in a heartbeat, no remorse. Relative that died? Not our problem, take another day off and you’re gone. Want to keep your current role? Too bad, you either take this role we want you in or you’re gone.
They did that last thing to a female colleague of mine and put her into a new contract. When they stopped dealing with the 3rd party company that new role was associated for - they cut her loose and never even offered her another role in the company.
