The analogy is good, and its a funny idea, but its poorly written and kind of insulting. I think most people will understand that subtext without having it spelled out in parenthesis.

One of the best posts ever!

One more thing the "chef" spit on the food.

The waiter also knows some languages and has a sharp ear, waiting for you to say some words and when you say them he will shriek out some nonsense, making it impossible for the ones you're talking to understand what youre saying. Unfortunately the waiter is so incompetent, that even when you use daily used / normal words he will shout out nonsense (the word "hier" in Dutch means 'here', yet it gets blocked). ("coarse" language filter)

i have to admit i hate battle.net lack of multiple language support. but that's always been around. are they ever going to fix that?

The restaurant or the waiter being jerks might even make you consider going on diet. Diet might be hard, but it improves your life.

I don't want to go on diet, I want my complaint to be heard to the restaurant owner.

While you order the waiter places a microphone under your table in order to gather personal information about you, information that he will use to make statistics and sell to other restauranats. I find that kind of scary :| Dont want blizzard to know all about my personal stuff.. thats why its personal, isnt it?

it's good for me. i don't like water with ice so if restaurants were telling other restaurants that i don't like water with ice then i don't have to keep telling them that i don't want ice in my water.

also i like vegetables cooked until they're soft, i can tell the restaurant that and all the other restaurants will know too? sounds good to me.

Shitty analogies don't deserve to be in the spotlight on the front page. Over exaggeration for a problem that's being discussed in several other threads doesn't need a new topic thread. You could always consolidate to have one big discussion, as opposed to 30 threads of the same topic with the same discussion.

But that's not how attention whoring works, I guess.

Maybe it's just that important to everyone else that there needs to be threads spreading awareness. It's not like Bnet 2.0 and SC 2 havent been a long time coming and have a huge and extremely loyal fanbase that wants the game to succeed or anything.

Spreading awareness instead of discussion isn't all that productive however. And a post with 200 pages is much more indicative of discussion than many posts just saying blizzard sucks.

On a side note, Does this really aid the sake of discussion? Shouldn't the discussion focus on what value these systems add and how necessary they are, as opposed to how them not being implemented is like a restaurant.

I suppose my end point is this, if you really want to implement change, giving valid reasons is always much more effective than a petition thread. Since this population will never represent any sort of practical market share, petition threads with everyone agreeing isn't really a reason. Logical discussions are much more convincing.

So good :p

SC2 was delayed by at least half a year because Blizzard was busy training the "perfect waiter" to serve their food, and now it just blows my mind how bad it turned out to be.

This is pretty funny. Except the food is really bland too, it's not that good. ^__^

Very good analogy. I'll have to keep this in mind.

Hahaha, that's pretty damn good. I don't know what they're thinking, it's pretty clear at this point that Activision's shareholders are making the push out the game with these broken features. It's too bad they're not free to make the game the way Blizzard intended, I really feel like they're just not allowed to have certain things in the game because they're being told they can't.
