Out with most of the Old Guard!!! Except Metzen, I hope the man gets to retire quietly and enjoy the world he helped build.
I’m hoping the Managers and bean-counters at blizz let the current crew do what they want to do - I’ve loved everything since they flushed all the og crew out.

Getting old sucks. I don’t really care about getting old myself. It’s just seeing older family members and friends pass is torture.
