Meet our benefactor (developer)
I just got back from LA, where I managed to meet up with the very cool (developer) guy who has been lurking around our forums and making all the new skin and rare changes. He's been going beyond the call of duty of ensure we get as many new looks as possible before Cata release (and some more even after release). As I've mentioned before, he's been in contact with Mania and me for a short while now. While many of my findings on the beta have been luck / hours of searching, quite a few recent ones have been because I've been able to give him suggestions directly and he's let me know when they've been added, which has helped me a lot
Anyway, he very generously gave me a tour of Blizzard HQ. For anyone who is interested, and with his permission, I thought I'd post a photo. Unfortunately I'm in the photo as well, sorry. And also it's a bit blurry in the dim light He's the cute blond one in the bowling shirt on the left. I'm the dorky one in the t-shirt on the right:
AND, ladies, he's handsome, funny and a WoW developer. I'm not sure of his star sign or favourite drink, but need I say more?! And he can't defend himself from this and still remain anonymous. Hah ;D
And since I was geeking out at Blizzard HQ, I had to get a pic of me at the famous orc statue:

Re: Meet our benefactor (developer)
You guys - Mania, Mr. Blizzard Developer Guy, and you Wain - have done amazing work. Back when I first rolled a hunter (my first proper toon on my own account, and still my main) I had this vision of a hunter as someone who bonded with whatever beast she came across. Although it didn't stop me from playing her (and loving it) I was definitely disappointed to see the limitations put on the hunter-beast relationship. You three have brought the class very much in line with that vision. Thank you very, very much. <3
Much gratitude to Spiritbinder for the signature and Vephriel for the avatar! <3

I wonder, is he an animal lover in real life? So much dedication to our cause!
Also, I love both your shirts... Is yours a Tim Burton or is it just really similar >.<

Good to see that we have the ear of the PTB at Blizzard!
Wain, Mania and Mysterious Helper - Awesome job! You're making it hard for me not to make another three Hunters!

I'll have to disagree on the first part, he looks hot with the stubble. But yeah, Wain is smoking!Antares wrote:Guy on the right is way more sexy. The Dev needs to shave!
