People will probably just shift all their complaint energies to whichever major issue they don't address (They pretty much admitted in that post that there will be at least one major issue NOT addressed and didn't say anything about minor issues)

It's great that they finally publicly acknowledged the concerns. Looking forward to reading the "comprehensive write up", hopefully it will contain good news for chat channels and region lock.

I predict they will say exactly what they have been saying with fancier words. I'll try not to be too cynical when I read their response though.

Of course they simply said they would respond to them.

Not fix them.

I believe Xordiah mentioned before that they've read our mass of complaints, but they don't seem willing to budge due to no real constructive criticism for Blizzard to go on. I feel that this response means that they realize they screwed up and they're working hard to fix it and have a more marketable product. By the way, the kittens sorta distracted me from the commentary :D

Huskys video has almost 300k hits, I think that is major reason for this response. Obviously the polls and threads on TL.net / B.net is a huge part aswell.

Still, they can just write a huge long post and deny all our needs for various reasons. But atleast they acknowledge our concerns.

Blizzard will have redeemed themselves if they really end up addressing all these issues.

My favorite is this one, regarding the massive protest about the lack of chat channels:

I think this thread is beyond the point of readable usability. It is nice as a meter of importance though, 83 pages! Impressive.

If you want to keep any discussions going let's make them more focused. This thread is too unwieldy to be useful for us at this point.

Way to go forum spam! Make your arguments in quantity, not quality.

Man, I hope Blizzard reconsiders some of the boneheaded things they had planned (or didn't have planned) for the games after watching this/listens to all of the feedback.

K TO THE ITTENS KITTENS!

My WOW experience tells me we should wait until we see their "solutions" before we celebrate too much, but kittens idd seems to help out :O

I listened to the whole thing and agree 100%, and I think a lot of other blizz fanboys have just been chewed up and spat out.

I think one point that was missed was that the way Blizzard made money was because of their unparalleled customer service, it was a niche business model but it was also very successful and put them in a really secure position.

The new business model is going to have to make them compete with the giants, this will work very well in the short-term (loyal fanbase + tonnes of income) but if people start leaving Blizzard will be screwed. The problem right now is the Activision stakeholders can't see past just getting more cash in their pockets.
