I'll be honest, I'm having a hard time imagining Rich in a suit. He'd be miserable. When I was there, the closest to someone being in a suit was my old leather sport coat.

"The suits" is part of gamer fantasy lore that somewhere in the studio, there is someone preventing the developers from doing what a player thinks should be done. "The investors" are also part of gamer fantasy lore; these are the secret illuminati who either choke off development funds or are blissfully unaware of the havoc wrought by "the suits".
Gamers have entire pantheon of various deities of benevolence and malevolence. It's rather amusing.

1. First, you gotta have a cool username, like, oh I dunno, @Saucy_Jack.
2. Next, you gotta tag someone in a position of power over community issues, like, say, @ZOS_GinaBruno, so they're aware of your desire to become a community ambassador.
3. Next, you have to show you're active within the community, by running grandiose events - maybe something like weeks-long ESO-themed popularity contests.
4. Then, you gotta ask really nicely, like, suuuper nicely. Something like "pretty pretty pretty pretty pretty please oh great and wise @ZOS_GinaBruno you are wonderful and a champion among mere mortals."
5. THEN, you gotta refresh the forums every 5 seconds like a maniac wait patiently to see if your title on the left side has changed.
At least, I *THINK* that's how it works.

They (ZOS) were taking applications for a while but it looks like they have already filled their current team. If you really want to get in there, you might want to contact Gina directly ...
PS: Not trying to be an ass, but if you are "a fairly active community member" how did you miss the whole Community Ambassador ***?
