Wow you're stupid. There are three classes that can get rid of diseases, Paladins, Shamans, and Druids. Also, by haste, it means speed effects, like Sprint. (Actual post from the DK forum)
I can see how one might come to this assumption, primarily given his posting activity. However, that's not how things work -- specifically him being an "assigned liaison to the player-base". Designers are "assigned" to designing. The community team has always worked closely with the World of Warcraft design team. We tend to communicate the most with the senior and lead designers.
Ghostcrawler tries to chime in as much as possible to address concerns, confusion, answer questions, etc...
He is neither obligated or required to post ever....
However, he does so to help players better understand concepts, changes, philosophies etc... When I originally created his account during WotLK beta, the idea then was that when the expansion launched he'd stop being active -- but his posts had a strong and positive impact amongst players and "he just couldn't quit you" :P
Our team (community) began to work much closer with him in regards to external forum communication focused on game design -- where he'd bounce responses to threads off of us, and visa versa. Ghostcrawler of course isn't the only designer on the team that works to bring about better communication, but he's the subject of the thread. Tom Chilton for example communicates quite a bit on the forums, but it's usually through us, sometimes GC, etc...
One thing that makes our job much easier is how community oriented our design team is.
Many of us are grateful for it.
"I'll have to talk to the developers about this. I'm not sure to what extent they account for people progressing through content while "trashed" when they're designing it. :p "
where he'd bounce responses to threads off of us, and visa versa.
*vice versa
And despite a lot of the flak GC gets from the Arena community, I think the increased information flow is still greatly appreciated (even if people don't agree with it or senselssly nitpick irrelevant portions of it like I did to your post!). Same reason why I think Kalgan's posts in the early TBC days were so popular (even though he wasn't as prolific as GC is).

I suppose this means ignoring tickets if employees are in RAIDS I suppose.

The more gated the community, the more guarded the wallet. The best tips actually come from middle- and lower-class people who know what we go through.
Q u o t e: True story. I'm trying to work through the continents. Antarctica is going to be tough, but Palmer can be a little unruly, so maybe....
Just tell the first person you meet in the cantina down there that you're a wanted crab and that you have the death sentence on three continents, and you're gold.
And I'm sure it won't work out bad for you in any way whatsoever.

Q u o t e: Sometimes I wonder if I ought to encourage people who think doing something stupid is a good idea. The gene pool is in sore need of cleaning up.
