We've all heard it. Blue has tried to feed us this garbage for a while and some warriors actually believe this nonsense. Well, take a look at the priest forums for a good example why that statement is a total farce:

As some of you know, I run a Discipline/Holy priest myself and this bug affects me the same as anyone else. I would love to have it fixed sooner as well, but realize that there are many other issues that are being worked on at the same time and being fixed concurrent to these bugs. In the meantime I'll make due.
This thread is good example of a CM who has her pulse on the issues that concern the class she plays. Sure she doesn't promise anything but the community is reassured that someone is listening. So what's special about this exchange?
Why does this matter? Because CMs who play the class know how to identify important issues in the community and insure that it gets the proper attention. This is something Tseric never understood and why we feel no sympathy when he finally flamed out , blaming the community for his own failure. Take a look at some of his older posts in the warrior forums. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING even resembles the kind of meaningful feedback that Nethaera gives to her fellow priests in terms of tone, empathy, and knowledge of underlying issues.
It's time for Blizz to suck it up and hire class CMs. Right now we have CMs who are too afraid of coming into class forums they can't handle or who are foolish enough to think they know everything about something they don't play. Is it any wonder why we've become so cynical or why CMs feel "degraded" until they finally quit? It's time to suck it up and give up this "no class CM" experiment.
