Matthew Rossi at WoW Insider: I love analogies, but sometimes they get used to the point where they cease to be useful. And I find the idea of comparing World of Warcraft to a cheeseburger you ordered to be one of those times. But this forum thread, started by forum poster Otsego (who is surprisingly not undead) compared the changes in the hunter class to ordering a cheeseburger and getting mayo on it (I hate mayo, by the way) and not being able to get the burger without the mayo. The thread ended up getting a lot of posts from players and Ghostcrawler alike, so I thought it worth some analysis. Seriously, I freaking hate mayonnaise. If this wasn’t a family site I would be filling this post with profanity and vulgarity right now about how bad mayo is.
Ghostcrawler’s first response to the thread interests me for a variety of reasons. The first reason is this quote:
I’ve actually used the restaurant analogy myself, because few restaurant patrons have the impression that they’re going to be able to go back into the kitchen, give the chefs pointers, rearrange the menu and so on just because they think highly of their own opinions on food.
Clearly he’s never gone out to dinner with me. . . . Read full article

/facepalm who said wow was a cheeseburger?
do you realize the point of the post was that GC had said they would not take character design input from fans?
OFC he 180ed that later.
Yes, as I understood your post, you didn’t use a cheeseburger as a metaphor for WoW; you used a cheeseburger with an undesired condiment as a metaphor for a hunter.
It was my understanding that the point of your post was that hunters in MoP will need to coordinate more cooldowns and keybind more active abilities than we have previously, and that the complexity of our optimal execution will be higher than that of other classes.
still the whole origional point was ashowing Blizzard and how they treat customer feedback, and what it would be like it another business did the same. Realy the hunter class dosent have much to do w/ the biger issue
