God auction 2018 coming soon JK PROBABLY NOT
You are aware that the people Wyrom answers to and takes orders from are complete idiots right? Not that that's anything new, but people seem to forget that Wyrom isn't Gemstone. That would be Shartley and Shartfront. Stillshart. Shartshart.
Wyrom takes orders from David Shartley and the faceless ass plungers at Shartshart. My guess would be "Wyrom, figure out how to XYZ NOWWWWWWW!!!!!" and things like Duskruin are the end result.

Except, he was creating these events before Stillfront was in the picture. He got the PM job because he developed a way to make more money with Duskruin and the pay2win mechanic. Whately might have said "hey, we need to make more money, anyone got ideas?" and wyrom said "well actually I do..." and thus duskruin in its form was created where people paid money to get points to buy weapons and items. He literally just took the most terrible form of microtransactions and applied it to the game wholesale. THey were so blinded by the money being made that they ignored balance issues. Now they are trying to walk it back after two+ years of access.
According to the press releases, Still front now has a majority share of the company "Simutronics". I'm sure Whatley has a well paying do nothing job where he can do pet projects as wanted while the day to day operations is left to the mysterious "in house staff". With how little information we are given we can only conjecture. The biggest problem is that Wyrom likes to tell different stories that defend his position as he sees fit, almost always in direct contridiction with the last story/excuse he used for the last major problem. He's the Baghdad bob of gemstone when it comes to PR and is almost assuredly more directly responsible for the current event structure than people tend to give him credit for. He may not have made the decision on how often (every other month simucoin events) but he did create the skeleton of how the events would operate.
"Hi, my name is Ososis and I'm blaming my shitty life for being such a fragile, soy drinking, emotionally unstable loser. My triggers are: Red reputation, ANY mention of MacGuyver and being called a fragile, soy drinking, emotionally unstable loser."
Lol at the Baghdad bob reference
Your mind is completely fucked. It is imperative that you unfuck immediately!
