I submitted a ticket asking them what's up, this was their answer. Kind of vague, no? They were supposed to patch today anyway right?

They were supposed to patch today anyway right? blizzard vague? no fucking way. they don't care, and the model for GM (even if it wasn't broken like it is now) is clearly flawed. although rotating every 2months is better than every 4 like before it is still not an indicator of the "best" players at any given time. i am curious to see if they actually do anything though. | ||

They just keep trying to redirect me to someone who may know something but they still busy stuffing their noses with all the money they are getting from wow. Seriously this is really disappointing in blizzard. All it is doing is just making Sc2 NA league a bigger joke then it has been already. There are people in GM who barely are able to make it into masters league to begin with. Most NA players are playing on different servers at the top because its so pathetic how blizzard just doesn't give a s**t at all I just want to state customer support won't know about this most likely. They aren't developers they didn't develop the games they are literally just doing customer support. It just bugs me you think people that do customer support are expected to know everything about sc2 or anything like that and know what the developing team is talking about or doing. Not their fault and you won't get in contact with the developers because that isn't their job. Reminds me of people who yell at the people who work at theaters about prices when its not their fault they just work there they don't run anything or have any say in the prices lol. | ||

Except theres a flaw with this. They are customer support they should be able to support the customer in what ever feasable way possible which would require them to know about the game in which they're supporting which they dont. They have no clue and you dont need to be a developer to know most the issues that they can't answer. SO your whole example is extreamly flawed cause customer support has no clue when it comes to sc2 though when it comes to WoW holy shit they're right on that, dumb as shit :/ | ||

They'll also answer questions about system requirements and help people install starcraft 2 if they run into a problem. I think that something more complicated, like "why are these people with high bonus pool and low MMR in GM league" is probably beyond the scope of knowledge of a guy whose primary job is to make sure that your copy of starcraft 2 runs properly. | ||

It's such an idiotic discrimination that I'm amazed no one there has realized it. ^ THIS Hope for new GM soon, not going to argue that GM should be reset every week (as it should), however atleast get a good system in place for players. I think SC2ranks has a castly superior system than blizzard does (lol) | ||

Where every week blizzard would release a list of the top 200 players based on MMR That would mean that the GM league would change every week and it wouldn't be based on points or activity, but how 'good' the system thinks you are, and instead of giving promotions/demotions to the league it would just be a weekly 'you made it to the GM league' or 'you were placed in masters' This would give GM more credibility imo | ||

Theoretically, the day after GM comes out it is false, but realistically a week or 2 after it comes out the bottom 100 players of GM should not be there (by mmr). If GM were updated constantly (always, no limit) it would be too unstable. I therefore think that in short time intervals GM should be updated. I suggested weekly because if (when) blizzard screws up like this, it won't have that lasting of an effect and can be recovered from easily | ||

Well anyways, I think blizzard isn't fixing as soon as last season because people don't seem to care as much. | ||
