I have a feeling that Blizzard will add channels and cross realm support sooner or later.
Too many people are complaining about this now.
Too many TL members rather ...95% of their sales will go to people who will be delighted to get achievements instead. I wish we need coherent action to cause that shit storm.
I wish you were right though.

Sure, you will get a handful of retail sales from the people attending international tournaments, but at what cost? Totally ruining international e-sports, and having a lot of high profile players ragequitting (thus taking many casuals with them). From a strictly buisness perspective, I dont see the benefit.
E: misspelling
I think people give them too much credit. We'll see what happens in the future but for now it looks like they're telling us to f off and I don't see any reason why it should change in the future. It might get worse since more casual gamers whining about void rays, banshees, and spine crawlers will far outnumber the people asking for legitimate changes.

In this day and age where the world is all connected together the fact that in a newly released game there isn't even an option to play against people from another region is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!
I cannot even begin to think what they are doing, it literally makes no sense.

Enable cross-realm play and keep automatch within the already set regions to satisfy this bullshit about lag, etc.

I think they dont want cross server play because of the latency
(still allowing it by buying a second account so tournaments can take place, with a barrier so not too many do it),
and i think they are right because the gamer from far away forces the player from his own server to have a limited game experience, and there is little he can do about it (in ladder games).
My suggestion is to forbid players form other server to play ladder, that is to say that they can only join costum games or join by friend invite, so the casual gamer is not going to experience lag in the ladder game, and if this doesnt work out you could limit it to just friend invites/games (or integrate a ping/lag/region sign in the game so the host can decide) so big tournaments could still take place without any limitations and casual players won't experience high letancy in their games.

Sadly I think that Blizzard is too big nowadays to care about some hardcore fans and that the only way to make them stop behaving like the dictators they are, would be to absolutely boycott the competitive scene (something they REALLY REALLY want) until the cross realm support and chat channels are in the game. Sadly there are enough selfish people out there who dont give a damn and who would keep tournaments alive. Even if a few thousand well informed people wont buy the game, it simply wont matter if millions of copies of the game are sold to casuals. The real hurt will come in the long run by having too few people interested in competing if the "outside issues" (not being able to communicate with others and having to buy lots of copies to play elsewhere) make organizing anything too much of a hassle. All of their excuses are really bad and show their greed instead ... as the quote from the OP proves.

Please listen to your crowd Blizz, and make us feel proud not like sheat!

I like this! It's written properly with explanations and no flaming and anger. That is the way I think such things should be handled. We find a problem and we report and explain why we really need this feature, not threatening with boycott and such moronic stuff.

I am literally, genuinely not purchasing this game due to the cross realm bullshit.
I put up with the LAN thing, it's (somewhat) understandable from a piracy perspective.
I put up with the no offline SP thing, same as above.
I am enduring the leagues, ladders, user interface and general lacklustre effort to bring the game in to the 21'st centure, I got over that too.
I even got over the splitting the game into Terran / Protoss / Zerg thing, I had faith the SP was going to be epic and worth buying 3 games for.
I got over Kerrigans voice change, which is flat out _retarded_ considering how good Glennys did the voice in the original.
I even EVEN put up with accepting I'll never be great at the MP portion, I'm 32, I work and I am bad at RTS with little time to get better but I still had a good play here and there.
This region thing though, this is the final straw, this is bull.shit, can we swear here? because it's fucked - it's proper, proper fucked - these people are doing this because they are greedy assholes, there's NO OTHER REASON.
How hard is it to allow people to connect to any realm?

Nope, not buying it, I'll gameshare with a buddy for the single player and that's it - hopefully 3 or 4 of us can split it up to be cheaper on all of us.

All the clowns on forums.battle.net are already saying, "TL guys are so biased, they have no idea what they are saying!" and other ignorant comments like that. Yeah we are planning a multi site article on it.
When you say multi-site article as in multiple fan sites printing the same scathing article in unison? Almost like some kind of protest or arm band thing?
I'd like to see 3 or 4 or 5 sites literally all print the same scathing article.

Blizzard needs to make a few con-cessions in hopes that Starcraft 2 may become an e-sport.
Not the other way around.

come on Blizzard, you can do it

Too bad though how they may very well not comply and it all too likely won't hurt them in the least bit 
CoD MW2 basically spray farted in the the competitive community's face as in completely abolishing it (no dedicated servers and no mods in (basically BGH with added random unit loss being played 100% of the time with laggy player hosted games)).
It still broke some sales records.
Now even given that CoD has mostly gone to console it still doesn't really give one much faith in Activision Blizzard seeing much reason for coming through.
