Johnny Cash, Blizzard’s lead quest designer for WoW not the dead musical legend, has left the company.
One of the few remaining “good people”, Cash was known as a champion of diversity and is viewed favorably by the community. Quests, and questing has remained one of the bright spots in the game, with Cash having crafted some of the more popular quest chains since his elevation to lead during Warlords (with quest design being one of the only good things in that Xpac), and oversaw the class order hall quests in Legion. He’s also the one who designed the pet battle system, which despite its janky launch ended up being a very popular feature.
His departure marks another major talent loss for the flagging company.
