Did someone quit?
Mass exodus.....or are they beefing up support



Naah I'm good

Could I do this job? Yes.
Do I want this job? Eh...

It's an unenviable position, and a thankless job, customer service. Not to say it can't be enjoyable and fulfilling and rewarding, but anyone in administration or community management, especially in videogames, is always going to have something to deal with.

[EDIT: Honestly, I might've actually applied had I not already started the process of getting my master's degree.]
