I haven't tried to play on the Tournament Test Realm (TTR) just yet, but they advertise that it's intended for Blizzard employees to fight against the people in arenas. However, looking at the screenshots, I see everyone in S2 equipment except for Blizzard employees. (here's an example of one of those screenshots http://i135.photobucket.com/albums/q146/pitspoon/WoWScrnShot_031208_184127.jpg )

So... basically, from the screenshots, I gather that you are intentionally giving your employees a slight PVP advantage by giving them equipment that's a whole season ahead of everyone else?

He didn't share any of the gear. :( I had the same things everyone else had access to.

Fasten your seatbelts, keep your hands and feet inside the forums at all times. Remain in the forum until it comes to a final stop at the unloading point. Thank you, and enjoy the ride!

You do realize that their ability to change their character model probably extends to item models as well...

Even with season 3 gear, Verrith and I lost two of the nine 2v2 games we played. : )

Q u o t e:


So Timbal had all the S3 stuff, while you and the other Blizzard employees didn't get any?

/boggle

Before Drysc got generous about giving out mounts (thanks!) I saw him shopping at the enchantment vendor like everyone else.

Um, usually if an employee tries to take a discount they get arrested.

Q u o t e:
Lies.

Drysc was a warrior in unenchanted, ungemmed S3 with unenchanted warglaives, in tree form.

He was like that until he logged.

Edit:
Who were you, neth? I didn't see you, but there were a bunch I didn't recognize.

You are correct...

when he was on Horde side. ; )

You've never worked, have you?

J/k, there must be a misunderstanding, most employers offer a discount on product/service to employees as a perk. What did you think he meant?
