Kinda rushed from Blizzard who are known for attention for small details.
BUT!
18 months and no one noticed, it doesn't break gameplay, hell if I have not read the OP I might have never known. In fact the opening post reminds me of BSN where they argue about the face texture of one of the characters in Bioware games, the overdramatic tone (Inconsistencies in transperancy of the menus? SC2 RUINED FOREVER!) doesnt fit a respected multiplayer strategy forum like TL.

I think most people implicitly know these things. You may not see the specific things like the OP pointed out, but you can certainly "feel" whether a UI is sloppy or clean. And you can definitely notice when one is better than another.

Even BNet 1.0 had a more intuitive interface than BNet 2.0 -- chat room was the center of the screen, and then you clicked on the game list. In Bnet 2.0, chat is a little button in the corner, join game is hidden in the bottom right, your home page (the first thing you see when you open the game) is relating a single-player game mode that you don't play anymore, you get a page full of social media updates that no one gives a shit about, messaging a friend means going through every single person and trying to find the person you added and you weren't sure whether they were "RealID or character ID" and you can't /f m jgoidasjgdioas

There is just so much bad UI and the entire BNet 2.0 is literally garbage just pulled straight from the beta. They spent more time on the Hyperion single player interface that no one plays anymore over the multiplayer UI that was supposed to be "E-sports"

Your a little bit OCD or something to sit and look through all these minor differences. These differences are so small and unimportant that I didn't even notice them. It doesn't affect the game or your game play. Stop thinking about it. Maybe play the game instead, after all it's more fun to kiss a woman than sit and point out her imperfections.

That's because you have no eye for design.... someone who studies art or graphic design (like I'm assuming OP has some sort of formal understanding of design concepts) would notice these things immediately, like my gf has pointed these things out to me as well OO:

Game is still in beta,even if it is sold as a complete game. There is no alternative to starcraft on rts gaming, or I would surely have taken one. The fact that you gotta pay for three different sets to see a story being developed already explains how much blizzard care about you.And trust me, they will cost 60 bucks each. I don't know what happened to blizzard, but they became different from the society I remember made starcraft 1.
