Okay, so we know how much fun Blizzard had on the last day of Open Beta. The GM interaction in the game was fun for so many people.
So.... why not do it again? We are seeing new stuff like the elemental invasion coming into the game, but for that little bit extra, why not have the boss controlled by a GM?
It would give players a higher level of difficulty due to the unpredictability of the bosses and a feeling of connection with the folks at Blizzard.
Anyways its just a thought. What do others think about it?

Read through this post, please, particularly post 43 if you're curious about the possible inner workings of a "Human Element". All manner of questions on the subject of in-game events are addressed.

Q u o t e:
I read post 43. I'm not talking about actors playing a role, I'm talking about boss mobs . . . giant outdoor raid dragons that are human controlled. They don't have to speak to anyone, they just have to fight the way a human would fight rather than using obviously scripted AI routines. They'll ignore warrior taunts (sorry guys) and probably always go after the cloth wearers first.
Plus they could go anywhere they choose rather than being found in a specific zone walking the same routine path. Where if you see them they definitely see you, and they're not going to sit there like idiots and let a party buff up and ready themselves for battle right there.
That's still nearly one hundred people employed solely to do that, if you're going to be fair to all involved, and that's just in this region alone.
My points in that thread still very much stand.
