Does seem kinda strange you don't introduce the new community manager to the community right away does it not? One can hope its a CM that will reach out to the community and ask what needs priority. Instead of overseers and season 8 familiars being sold as content and showed down our throats. I am afraid the next CM will be nothing but a forum/discord cleaner like the previous two before Dreamweaver.
We'll have a new Darkpaw/EQs dedicated CM as soon as possible. For now, I'm here and there and everywhere. He was pretty messy, wasn't he?
From what people have said, on and off the forums, I don't have great hopes for a new CM as good as Dreamweaver. He was a rare bird in the gaming community.
Whoever they hire, they can't really afford to find somebody that's not as good as Dreamweaver was. I firmly believe that one of the biggest fails for SOE/DPG was their overzealous CMs and being far too quick to simply ban and silence dissension or negative feedback about the game.
