Hello,
I wondered what happend to Tyler Bearce (/u/Anet-TylerB)? He used to lead the WvW Team and was somewhat more active in the community until he disappeared 2 months ago w/o any reason. He did neither post on his reddit account nor on the GW2 Forum. I asked in the last AmA but didn't get any answer. I also tried asking in todays livestream but didn't get any answer too. So I'm wondering why he did just disappear without any note.
While I didn't agree with some of the stuff the WvW Team did (cannon blueprints - but it was the communities choice to test it), I still think they did/are doing a good job and did finally start to communicate with the community more.
Thanks for your time.

Hey, I'm still around at ArenaNet, but I'm no longer on the WvW team. I'd been working with McKenna for a while to take over my position there. When I was transitioning off the team, the decision was made to have me gradually fade out of the WvW spotlight, rather than make a big announcement post about it.

Can you tell which team you are working on now? If it's top secret or expansion 2 related we'll understand if you can't say.

I'm working on Living World content now, getting the next episode ready. And no, it won't be WvW related :)
