No, they would be getting generous pay raises on a regular basis for always coming up with stuff that's insanely successful. Who cares if it's a little late. Every other employee/freelancer/official/manager/company/public body is late on something all the time. That's how the world works - not always as planned.
Oh and by the way: if you can chill, chill. :p

And why is that? They never said anything about "RESETTING THE LADDER ON 1.2".
You guys made it seem like it was going to.

That doesnt mean I cant be pissed off I didnt get what I was expecting? I never said I was pissed off at Blizzard or anyone in particular. Im just pissed off that it wont be reset. I agree with you for the most part, but it still bugs me.

I was pretty motivated at taking a break until the new patch, canon contain and Thor Rush are just too stupid... And now, no ladder reset while we are all waiting for masters league ? Let's wait 1.3 to touch this game on ladder again 
|
What do u guys expect to get off the reset now and not in the next patch?
I mean its not like the system doesnt work and desperatly waits for a reset...
|
I'm annoyed that they wont reset. I mean they say that the 1.2 patch is coming out, and i think they hinted that a reset would be coming soon, so everyone assumed that it would be with the patch. So instead of just informing us that it wasnt, they just keep quiet. I mean how hard would it be to just say "hey guys reset isnt coming with 1.2"?
Meanwhile the ratings are so inflated that zimbabwen currency would be jealous. I wouldnt mind if they didnt reset if bonus pool wasnt there, or was slower. Soon 3k is mid diamond.
I cant even keep up with bonus pool points either, thats how much bonus pool there is :S
Come on blizzard, just tell us when the reset is coming, or when it isnt. Dont just be quiet

well then time to work away my 400 pt bonus pool. 4 gates and cannon rushes ahoy!!! (fastest way to lose the bonus lol and im in a mood to cheese my fellow protoss lol)

Right now, theres is illusion of going up in ranks, because of bonus pool, if they remove it.
for example if i do the math , I have ~60 points w/o any bonus pool.
but at the moment with bonus pool, i'm currently 1526 points + 725 bonus pool remaining.
They want to keep it that way, with illusionary short term progress, otherwise, the vast majority of players will feel like w/e they do, they dont progress.

So are they still releasing Masters League? If so why would they not reset the ladder? Very confusing.

Note that the season reset doesn't have to occur at a major patch (i.e., 1.3). It could be the case that they roll it out in one of the minor patches between 1.2 and 1.3.

Because they need to fill it with ~200 top players from every region, would be quite difficult, having everyone at 0 points.

Masters League is top 5% of diamond, not top 200.

The top players are determined by their mmr(and some other things), not the amount of points they have. Ladder reset is only going to wipe points, not player's mmr.

excalibur_z has shown this is false
it's simply points (incl. bonus) after accounting for "division modifiers"
they shoulda just done wc3 level system ;(

It really feels like Bliz is making pretty simple things complex. I remember back in the day it was really hard to level up in WC3 and the only people that actually got near 50 (can't remember if people actually got there or not) were pros. It seems like a pretty simple thing, let everyone get to like level 10, and then make people win more games than they lose to level up. I really can't see any reason to do it the way they are now...

Currently they believe it's mmr:

We currently believe -- but cannot confirm -- that Top 200 eligibility is based upon your MMR's moving average, which is part of the same criteria that allows promotion into another league.

if I read correctly that's separate for eligibility and not actual ranking?
