From the gamer's into leading designer of Blizzard

A small story about one player who became a famous game designer, because he was meticulous mathematician.

Once again we would like to dispel a myth of the unserious nature of the gaming industry and about players as persons which are trapped in childhood and are unable to live normal adult life. Games can induce players to conduct serious researches and meticulous analysis of multifactorial processes. Do you still think gaming experience cannot be useful anywhere else?

Ion Hazzikostas is an avid player of World of Warcraft and a lawyer in the real world. First he was just an ordinary player, later with experience he achieved fame (his nick is 'Gurgthock'). He created the guild Elitist Jerks, it is one of the top 25 best guilds in the world. Later he became theorycraft – a person seriously explores the WoW world and game mechanics and checks game parameters and balance etc.

Ion achieve become famous in 2006, when he was able to prove mathematically that the C'Thun character (from raid dungeons Temple of Ahn'Qiraj) can not be killed. His own calculations showed that the requirements for DPS (damage per second), which would at the same time protect the team from fail and cause substantial damage to the boss in conjunction with restrictions on mana made it impossible to pass this dungeon. Blizzard recognized a bug and created NPC goblin with nickname of the gamer Gurgthock as a gift to Ion.
