Call them game historians or "shadowy figures who pore over leather-bound volumes deep in the bowels of their workplaces." Whatever the case, they keep creativity on track.
Oh hey! I raided with him and his wife in Shadowlands. He was the guy that hyped up the patch for Korthia, especially the lore, and then when it didn't even remotely deliver he conveniently went missing while his wife kept trying to ride his coattails to seem cool to everyone else in the guild.
Strange, because I remember having in depth conversations with Sean while doing Korthia content about what the game holds, and who wasn't in the guild at that time? Well it was certainly you Mr. Todd. You left the raid team faster than my dad when he went to get milk from the grocery store, so you don't really have a leg to stand on when complaining about people.
You also seem to misunderstand what people who have real jobs do, likely because you never had one since you're only 16, but people can only affect what they work with. Sean doesn't work on Story writing, he works on Lore. You know the background info that helps build the world of the game you can't seem to play properly. He doesn't drive the direction the game moves, but helps give more background to the life of the game we don't see.
I would tell you to go crawl back under the mushroom you came from, but that would be an insult to fungus.
Man you're right, I should totally call my handler, kinda like you called your sugar daddy to come defend you too.
However if you had stayed around to play the game for any real depth of time you would realize that Korthia did have a shit ton of lore, sorry your pea sized brain didn't exactly help you to understand that. Just because something wasn't up to your ivory tower standards of what you thought it should be doesn't mean it wasn't good.
I think you're misunderstanding the difference between "coming to defend" and "joining in to laugh at".
I'm not sure what you're getting from trying to blindly defend a company that's produced subpar content I've consistently given a chance to for years despite owning the largest MMORPG in existence with mistakes you'd expect from a single game start-up company either, but uh, go off king and don't forget to zip em' up when you're done I suppose.
Hey Ves, post under your name next time bud. Not shocked that you're posting in coward mode though since years later you're still paranoid that I'm going to destroy the guild that you already nuked yourself, lol.
Wait is this Sauf? The guy who joined a guild to be better than us, then got kicked out, then made a guild to raid with and that fizzled out to while the guild he was booted from is still going strong? Man I would hate to be you.
I'm not Ves, so swing a miss on that one. Guess I shouldn't be surprised, the guy who failed the bar exam after spending so much time studying for it is an idiot.
Oh my bad, it's Ophy. Remember when your kids pooped in the closet because you were too busy dropping half of your paycheck on Korean e-girls on Twitch to pay attention to them? Lol
Oh yikes was that what you think happened? Man no wonder you failed the bar can't even remember simple little events that were talked about with you. Doesn't really surprise me, failure in life just like in the game, was fun catching up with you two turds, you can go back to sucking each other off though. Or maybe its just Todd that sucks you off. To each their own as they say.
Homophobia's not a good look, I know you struggle to be a good role model to your children (or be anything to your children, really) but this sort of anger isn't good. We're not the reason you keep getting dropped from key groups because people don't want to play with you my friend. Look inwards.
Dude, I love this for you. Imagine never taking the opportunity to speak to someone who could do something about your grievances in a video game and then bringing his disabled wife into the conversation as if it has anything to do with why you disliked a patch. Yikes. I barely remember you. I had to ask who you were. Gonna start off with the "my opinions are my own speech. This convo represents me only and not ABK".... You seem to have a memory problem. I really debated on how to respond to this because I respect everyone's right to an opinion, even if said opinion is that they don't care for me. I'm not everyone's cup of tea, that's fine. Let's just go with the facts, eh?
1. Sean didn't raid with us, so straight out of the gate you're already making up your own timeline. Was that an intentional ironic drag on Blizzard main storyline deviation or are you really that caught up in your head canon? Sean hasn't raided in a push guild since our days in an employee friends and family guild back in Legion. He prefers casual play because he spreads himself across the whole ABK lineup, not to mention all the other games he plays for fun. You have to get your basic starter facts right or it doesn't give the rest of your comments much weight.
2. Yes, Sean hyped up Korthia. He also hyped up every patch, expansion, and other IP he's worked on in the last 17 years because he loves his job. He's like a kid in a candy store any time someone is interested in the Lore of any of Blizzard's games. That's why he was happy to have Lore chats with the guild. You had unprecedented access to a Loremaster and despite being encouraged to, you never sent him a single message in game or on discord. "Went missing" is hilarious. Sarcasm inc: Yes, he was totally nowhere to be found while actively working on the multiple games Diablo was putting out at the time. It's called "responsibility". He'd have been glad to explain it to you (since you seem to have missed the multiple conversations we had about it in guild and on discord) except, again, you never bothered to reach out. He was also online doing his dailies nearly every day. At this point you'd have turned avoiding him into an Olympic sport.
3. You seem to not have a working idea on how his job works. Something I definitely corrected a thousand times. I'll dumb it down for you, again, even though I risk trying to sound cool. The dev teams create the story. They have writers who write the in game stuff. Lore is part of a different team called Story and Franchise development. It houses authors, editors etc etc. The Lore team is a consultant role. The dev teams, artists, authors etc consult the Lore team for two purposes. One is "did I get this right? Am I breaking any Lore ruling or did I put the wrong amount of fingers, eye color, weapon, age, ear position" and so forth. The second is "This is our direction for this next creation, I need suggestions on how to get from there to here", or, :I need a super cool weapon but one that hasn't been used" or "We're going to break this previous Lore ruling to write the next expansion, we're gonna die on this hill". His job is to then say "ok here's 5 ways you could feasibly justify it let me know what you choose to move forward with". The Lore team doesn't create or they'd be on a dev team. You can look up any of his interviews on the subject if you're really interested but it sounds more like you just want to complain. As I recall, you were a minor, so I understand that whining comes naturally to you, but it's not a good look once you reach adulthood and I think you must be 18 by now so I hope you're able to course correct.
4. This last one is personal. I don't give a rat's ass if you like me or not. I do however, prefer that you dislike me factually. The riding his coattails to look cool comment legit made me giggle. No one who had ever interacted with me would ever say I looked cool or tried to because I'm an extremely silly, ridiculous person who is devoted to doing just about anything for a laugh unless you mess with me or someone I love. I'm not worried about looking cool then either though. The guild was full of highly sarcastic personalities with an unparalleled dedication to roasting one another. You didn't vibe with it and left.
I didn't look cool to anyone in the guild. They were my last attempt to trying to get CE again and M+s that were 20+ before my hands stopped working. I'm disabled, I have 70%+ permanent damage in every joint in my body. My hands were the worst. Helping me play to the best of my ability and problem solving how to work around my damage was at times slow and frustrating. It was also stressful, especially on prog nights. Aside from myself, no one was more frustrated than Ophy. He didn't care for me in general, either, and the fact that he's the one in here defending my husband and I speaks VOLUMES to the overall childish and petty way you've gone about expressing your distaste for the expansion. The funny thing is, I was a healer and you were dps and healing wasn't the reason we didn't complete mythic, dps was. Despite my many challenges, I wasn't the issue.
Coattails, lol. Sean will be the first one to tell you our origin story involves him being a lowly level 14 paladin while I had 2 max level characters and was working on my 3rd in vanilla. Our first day as an official couple was his first day at work. He's happy to tell anyone I've carried him like a backpack through every expansion. I'd also only ever been interested in heroic level and having fun. In BFA, I was diagnosed and told I had maybe a decade until I was wheelchair bound. A good set of friends inspired me to see just how far I could go so I wouldn't have any regrets once my hands were too stiff and locked to even move the mouse. I made CE raider, my highest was a 24 M+ dungeon and I made top 1% of healing priests worldwide when holy was one of the worst M+ specs. I don't need to be cool. I don't need to be elite either. What I needed was peace of mind and a sense of accomplishment. WL tried really hard to give that to me. I'd appreciate if you didn't involve that experience in your overdue vindictive, personal attack over an expansion you didn't care for. K? Thx.

"especially the lore"
"doesn't work on the Story writing, he works on Lore."
Come on dude I know you're from the same guild we're referencing but at least call for your handler to come help you sound out the words or something.
Man you're right, I should totally call my handler, kinda like you called your sugar daddy to come defend you too.
However if you had stayed around to play the game for any real depth of time you would realize that Korthia did have a shit ton of lore, sorry your pea sized brain didn't exactly help you to understand that.

So warlords of Draenor is his fault, got it
