The only person I blame for the class balance issues was Mackey. Well and I guess whoever put him in charge of class balance and left him there. They can have a blame nugget too. Delicious fried blame.

EA fixed bugs? EA balanced classes? EA freed the Jews? EA “polished your knob?” EA makes the trees grow?

…

EA sells football games. No more. No less.

Well, ultimately, if there are any accusations in the pre-and post EA era, it really should be directed at me . . .

So, I’ll take the blame for not fixing the bugs and balancing the classes before EA . . .

And I’ll give the credit to the team for fixing the bugs and balancing the classes after EA . . .

Actually come to think of it, I blame John Austin.

Everything can’t be Scott’s fault, because actually, everything is MY fault. So there.

Scott and Walt, evil overlords of halting improvements to MMOGs since 1999.

I hope you feel shame, you bastards.

Someone forgot to polish his tinfoil hat today… programmers don’t make executive decisions on game design or production direction. Designers and managers do that. Hi 2 u. Lern about software engineering 4 teh win.

We all know what you did so I’ll just repost this and let you decide where you fit in: “EA came in and then all of a sudden bugs were fixed and classes balanced in a matter of months.”
