There, JW himself saying that was his comment. What more proof does Diablofans need?
(Use Google Chrome, or translate the last question)
As to why JW and other Devs making these comments is important: if his philosophy is so out of line with the original ceeator's that he's brought to insulting and being dismissive of him, that means he doesn't want D3 to be anything like D2. Many people (like myself) bought D3 thinking it was going to be like D2. The feature that made it too good to pass up for me was the addition of 5 more skill slots. That, in my mind added a lot of depth. Other than that, I'm guilty of not doing much research. I gave the developers the benefit of the doubt. But alas, I felt slighted.
I agree that the reaction by the community to his comments is a little over the top, however, I just feel like what the D3 Devs put on the forums and what their REAL thoughts (like the ones on FB) are totally different. How can I trust what the developers say (like their philosophy with the game's direction) on the D3 forums is the truth, and not just some neutered version of their real thoughts? I thought they were professionals that indeed cared what other people said and integrated their criticism into their own thought process, but In reality, they are just as sarcastic, snarky and vulgar as the community that lambasts them.
I don't know, maybe I'm just ranting, but that's what I think. Hopefully people try to at least understand where I'm coming from, and don't think that I'm simply flaming JW and the developers, because I'm not. I think JW and other developers have done a great job with WoW, and JW and these developers have done many things correctly with D3, like creating a better combat system, better follower system, better incentive to explore areas to kill elites instead of skipping them entirely and farming boss all day, among other things.
In the end, D3 may become a much better game, and I hope it does, but as of right now, I do not believe it is up to par because it has strayed far from Diablo's original creators vision of the game. Thank you for your time.
The the comment is gone, which may look suspicious until you think about it. You can literally make another account, name it Jay Wilson and have the exact same picture and say what you want. Also if you notice in the likes, a lot of them are liked by "Jay Wilson Eats Toomuch" Which was probably the troll that had his name as Jay Wilson.
It's pretty common. Usually I see it in the form of...
Person A: I love puppies
Person B: ^ is a moron
Person C: ^ Is a dumbass
Then person B removes his comment. and it looks like person C just called person A a dumbass. In any event I highly doubt it's true, and not "oh well you're a moderator you have to say that." No. I could say yeah he's a diick and jump the bandwagon but it seems pretty clear to me someone was trolling, and it was successful.
Also notice how "Jay Wilson Eats TooMuch" has no friends, is a new account, and is now trying to "point out what happened" after he liked the comment "Jay Wilson" supposedly left. So he was so against what was said he liked the comments?
Edit: The amount of people willing to just believe this without looking more is astonishing. You think Jay would actually post something like that? He'd be fired almost immediately.
Christ, it's NOT a fake! Before he deleted the comment, I clicked on his name and it took me to http://www.facebook.com/Angerbot I know it seems implausible, but he really did post it. Why would it be deleted if it were a troll?? That makes no logical sense! On the contrary, the troll would keep it there to enflame his intended targets.
It even has the same FB picture, is FRIENDS with Chris Haga, has a bunch of other developers on the post. Unless you are telling me those are ALL fakes made years ago just so an occasion like this can arise. Occam's Razor suggest the simplest explanation is often the correct one. In this case, this is the real deal.
I don;t know what to say. It's quite appaling for JW to say that, tbh.
Also, this isn't fake. JW's account has been active since 2007. Has a bunch of pictures from across the years, and has many of him. He also commented on another developers (Chris Haga) wall, which you can do only if you are friends with them.

Just saying this incase they delete that post, or if Chris Haga makes his Facebook private.
I wonder what the backlash of his actions will be.
EDIT: And YEP, Jay Wilson just deleted his comment. What a coward!
EDIT 2: Here's a link to the actual conversation.
