For a site I've been following for some time I'm disappointed with the tone of this article as it's pointing out positive changes without addressing the negative impacts of this patch.
For raiding hunters, this patch is a pretty significant nerf (probably deserved as we were beating other classes in dps by a couple hundred when equivalently geared).
The article would have been more well recieved had you pointed out how this patch it actually impacted each type of hunter (pvp, pve solo and pve raid) and explained some of the rationale behind it. Following other sites, Blizzard was particularly clear in stating that hunter DPS in raids is exceptional and they intended to nerf it. Yet, there's barely a sentence for this.
Similarly you skipped entirely the changes to normal and exotic pets that will impact a large (possibly the largest portion) of the hunter playerbase.
To that end, this article failed to explain the true ramifications of the 3.0.3 patch.
To 16: *Rant on* The funny thing about PhD's is the average IQ of a doctor is only 115 because they are the only people stupid enough to continue going to school but intelligent enough to be able to. That, and you're willingness to work 12 hour days just reeks of misinformation and uneducated opinions. *Rant off*
Actual Content in regards to the topic: Do any of you really think that the CEO of a company would ever admit what the real reason is if they are keeping it under lock and key?
Personally I would just deny everything if I was him, as there is no legal obligation for me to tell the truth on the forums but there is likely a legal obligation to keep the reason for leaving microsoft undisclosed.
