I never wanted to raid or do any of that stuff. I leveled to 70, doing instances along the way to get better gear. Now I'm at the point where to get better gear than what I have I either have to a) grind badges b) get PUG to do heroics lasting 3-5 hours and *maybe* get a drop I can use c) grind PVP d) grind dailies. I love doing the quests, but none of the quests will give me any gear upgrades any more. The dailies were fun initially, but seriously they get old fast. I just canceled my account.

Yahoo Shakes Things Up 73

Posted by CmdrTaco on Wednesday December 06, 2006 @10:02AM from the they-aren't-the-only-ones dept.

PreacherTom writes "Growing strife inside Yahoo! has erupted into a sweeping management and organizational shakeup. CEO Terry Semel announced yesterday that the company will be reordered into three groups: one to focus on advertisers and publishers, another to focus on Yahoo!'s base of over 500 million users, and a third on technology and development. While Semel denies layoffs are in the future, there will be replacements in the upper echelon for the world's most popular website. The changes, the most extensive at Yahoo in more than five years, cap months of speculation about how it would respond to slowing sales growth, a slumping stock price, and a steady stream of executive departures in the past year."

Yahoo! VP Calls For a Shakeup 174

Posted by kdawson on Saturday November 18, 2006 @06:41PM from the peanut-butter-manifesto dept.

prostoalex writes, "Yahoo!'s Senior VP Brad Garlinghouse sent out a company-wide memo calling for layoffs of 15-20% of Yahoo! staff and reversal of priorities to concentrate on major issues facing the company. (The Wall Street Journal posted a copy of the memo.) MarketWatch quotes Garlinghouse: 'I've heard our strategy described as spreading peanut butter across the myriad opportunities that continue to evolve in the online world. The result: a thin layer of investment spread across everything we do and thus we focus on nothing in particular. I hate peanut butter. We all should.'"
