Working for Blizzard Entertainment - The Work

The Work

Working at Blizzard is alot like working at a call centre, except your typing to players not speaking on the phone. Its very team orientated and you have strict rules and quotas to uphold. Think of any time you submitted an ingame ticket to a GM, and basically think of you on the other side. Armed with self wrriten macros and your team to solve such issues.

Yes your GM character has the power of god ingame, I could literally have teleported anyone anywhere, gave any one any item, one shot any boss, go to Orgrimmar turn everyone to a chicken then instant kill everyone there. However,  you obviously dont do such things as you are paid to work not piss about .Of course anyone abusing powers in any manor would be swiftly removed from their seat by security and wont be returning.  Yes it has happened.


The People

Yes.. yee be warned.. Female Kind work at Blizzard... and more than you might think.. Infact there are alsorts of age groups to. You will find all shapes, sizes, races, countries, from the stylish to the badly dressed.
