Tolero would be the top then? pegged by an owlbear! hurts so goooood.
Top of the CMs maybe, but still bottom of the run. The Devs wield far too much power at that company.
The idea that the person who invents something (whether a dungeon, a class, a race, an enhancement tree, destiny, loot, or whatever) is the same person who then fleshes it out, is the same person who works with the coders, is the same person who seeks feedback both internally and through the player base (whether ML, Lamania, or the new council), and is the same person who then is expected to make adjustments to their baby.
They are far too heavily invested in their ideas and are seeking to put their personal stamp on the game and are not willing to let others sway them.
And it takes an incredible level of outrage before a producer will step in and overrule them. And when they do get involved, it is never pretty.
