So glad to see MVP's with differing opinions. Also a big shout out to Metrohaha of Firetree. Guy is making the community better one post at a time.

Shout out to the new MVP's
Just wanted to chime in and note that we're very happy with how the program is going, both internally and externally, so far.

As a note of reinforcement, if you ever have feedback on specific MVPs (either positive or negative!), feel free to send an email to ornyx@blizzard.com. I'll be sure to read over what we get and use the feedback to steer the MVPs and the program as needed. :)

It would actually help if people knew what these guys were supposed to be doing.

I personally can't see the value of them popping into a thread to say they AFK in LFR.
They aren't "supposed" to be doing anything, I think that's something people need to move away from. The MVPs are players who we hope have a high amount of game-knowledge, good writing skills, a constructive mindset, etc. They are folks who are active across the whole WoW community as a trusted source of knowledge.

Many of them are leaders in certain aspects of the game, such as being heavily involved in class theory crafting, PvP, etc, and some of them already have actively lead the charge for feedback gathering in the pillars they are familiar with, which is great work.

The only thing we task them with is being generally active so we can make sure there's enough of their presence to go around such that posts where people need help don't go unanswered.

hey Ornyx is Nethaera still working for Blizzard? Haven't seen her post in ages.
Neth is still here! She hasn't done a lot on the forums in a few years, but she leads most of the editorial content for World of Warcraft such as blogs, etc. :)
