Mod Ayiza is goated, shout out to him for coming on the pod

Mod Ayiza is part of the reason why OSRS is in it's golden age. He goes above and beyond to try and keep everyone happy and the players really need to not take that for granted.

I can tell he feels antagonized often, I hope he knows the minority of dweebs who eat and breathe this game also have the loudest voices.

Huge thanks to Ayiza for coming on, only cost us a $5000 jagex appearance fee! well worth it

We (yes, you and me) all love Ayiza, he puts himself in a really hard position basically being the punching bag for the community when anything goes wrong because he really cares about the game.
The amount of mental effort it takes to take huge amounts of criticism and view from a positive angle like he does is absolutely insane.

Legitimately believe Ayiza has his whole heart in OSRS and could not be a better fit for this job. Great cast!

I liked as many positive Ayiza comments as I could. This guy is amazing and does such a good job. Thank you Behe team for getting him on the podcast. Always such a good listen when he talks.

Edit: Working towards rune rank on Leagues. :)

Amazing how easily ayiza can make situations like this less explosive by just... Taking accountability on behalf of the company, explaining what went wrong and how, and promising more clarity in the future

@MrNeeko777 4 months ago

What an amazing pod with Mod Ayiza. He's an absolute legend. Thanks to you and your team for everything you do for this game that we love to play!

I love Mod Ayiza so much. I was first aware of him when I saw a recording of a stream when he achieved 95 Slayer. I fell in love instantly. We are so blessed to have him.
