Battle.net is a fickle place. Its a great place to grab maps and play UMS with random players, but theres the offchance theres a hacker among the group if youre playing melee. And its essentially a cesspool when it comes to these random people, which is why its usually better when playing with groups youre familar with already, which is why I think bnet is good only to keep BW alive and for friendlies to congregate.

Maybe they're just priming us for a secret release of SC2? There's NO WAY blizzard doesn't notice the SC fanbase, and they're well aware that they are going to make way way bigger money on SC2 than World of Warcrack.

Yes, PepsivsCoke I feel for you! This is all extremely frustrating! It just seems so hard to understand why just a little time/energy/budget can't be devoted to such a seemingly "popular" game?

Maybe, like a lot of others, my passion is just getting the better of me? Or, maybe the fact that I couldn't locate a single starcraft cd in 2 large local "video gaming" stores is an indication of just how popular we really are. That I was practically laughed out of the store for asking if they carried Starcraft, leaves me to believe that maybe I am just another fanatic in this cyber cult?

While I agree ranting is a sure way to get labeled as fanatics, and pushes us further away from Blizzard, and that I tend to follow the passive Zen philosophy such that Entropy writes, I would agree It's about time these squeaky wheels get some grease!

Regardless..... WE ARE HERE BLIZZARD! WE ARE HERE!

MMORPGs, especially WoW, will bring them tons more money then all the other games combined could hope to. That's what happens when u have a monthly fee;/

Blizzard overlooks us... Oh yes, patch out. We love you Blizzard. Oh no, replay incompatibility. Blizzard doesnt care, Blizzard cares. This is useless so is this thread. You are wasting your time.

Do not use TL for your hating against WGT ^^

Beside of that a lot going on with Blizz is true, but it is not that none tried and still try to change that

telling him to shut up without pointing out anything incorrect in what he said doesnt do a whole lot.

dropping my 3 cents... Entropy you know sheet about how Blizzard works, how they keep terms, how they treat organizations they are cooperating with. Nice try, but that's cheap demagogy here, nothing more. Words you wrote won't change anything... you are as helpless as "bad" WGT staff or any1 else using bnet or playing sc.

Arguing about Entropy's words about WGTour is pointless, Entropy has a grudge against WGTour ever since he got kicked from WGT staff for doing nothing else than being on the admin list, but I guess that was unprofessional of us, too. As much as I respect him as a person, he's way to biased in certain matters and expresses his hatred towards us whenever he's able to. It was a good read, as it was well written, but it had no value at all, at least not to me. Interesting anyway~

And altough WGTour screwed up a lot ladder section-wise, I think we already made it clear that the start of season 14 is not really up to us anymore and it's like this since a few months. The only thing we can be blamed for is poor PR in the matter.

It comes a moment in everyone's life when a very important question arises: should i stay or should i go? I think it's time to move on. The numbers of users on Bnet have changed dramatically over the years. It's going downhill as we speaking now.

I love SC. I've played Sc for a long time, but without the suport from Blizzard the survival of the game will be tough.At the moment the only solution that can come up to my mind would be to pay 15$ a month to get playing in Bnet. That means offcourse that bnet should be updated to make it just like war3 or better. One problem with Sc is that at the moment the players are between 14-20 years average. And everyone knows that at this age u just can't have that much money to spend on.

And let's just be honest with ourselves. Pat and the crew behind pgtour did us all a big favor to sacrifice a bit of their life for our fun. Now it's no more. We all feel bad about it. But in the end i think it's time to move on.

where's your point?

you think it is easy to organize a good ladder? are you mad or something?
if blizzard did anything anyhow slumpy, you would start whining again and complain how bad blizzard is and how they dont kiss your ass everytime you think about starcraft and all your "great contributions" you did to the community

blizzard currently prepares everything for the new wgt season and you better want their hackprotection and everything else perfectly

"you think it is easy to organize a good ladder? are you mad or something?"

# Mr.SeXpIsToLs
With almost no resources, and handful of passionate fans, we ran PGTour: 4 millions games played and for the most part happy guests (cause they weren't even costumers), from one server. I know, cause I was there helping make it happen.

I can't image what we would have done with more resources, let alone the power of a very succesful company behind us, a subsidiary of the largest media content company in the world.

"if blizzard did anything anyhow slumpy, you would start whining again and complain how bad blizzard"

# Mr.SeXpIsToLs
To be honest I been whining about the same three issues for years years: fair environment for gameplay in battle.net (no cheating), no ladder (which goes back to the first problem) (third is phuking smurfs). We still don not have a ladder, and hack users are a cyclical disease, we only get a two week lasting immunization every many months of frustration.. I am after all a fog of war worshiper* which is my excuse for whining.. now what is your excuse for your whining?
