It makes sense on some level, Blizzard was probably still a pretty huge deal and well respected when they were hired.
It probably strokes your ego a bit to get hired by a company like Blizzard.

I actually don't think Teldrassil being burnt down was bad in and of itself, Night Elves were my favorite in WoW too my first character back in WoW was a Night Elf Hunter ( yes very original lel ).
But I thought it was a cool and risky thing, I like when they do bold decisions that have a lasting impact.
The issue was just how it was handled but I don't think that the idea itself was bad.

It does upset some people I mean every time the Horde or Alliance takes a L people get mad about it out of faction loyalty too.
But I think that if you listen too much to that it holds you back from doing interesting things.
It cannot be helped. rockstar mentality exists in all corporations. It is a result of competition where naturally the best and smartest will be rockstars. The problem lies on how these rockstars uses their status though. And it seems a lot of the executive caught in the scandal at blizz used theirs for the wrong things.
