Not sure what your problem is but why dont you try talking or inviting someone to play with you. Its not that hard. I joined sc2 when it first came out and no one i knew in real life played. Still ive made many acquantances and even now i still meet people all the time. Whats the problem? The problem is you're using anecdotal evidence to cover faults of design. It's like saying that ladder anxiety isn't a problem and doesn't exist just because you or I aren't afraid to hit the "find match" button. The fact that these articles pop up, and that this issue comes up in various other threads every now and then indicates that there is an issue with the system, also simply by analyzing the system it's not hard to realize that there's no motivation or context to social interaction. | ||

Chances are (as with many people here) it was a while ago and your priorities and preferences have changed over the years. It isn't bad or a fault of the system, it's just the way things are. For example, 15 years ago I would've been clamoring for in-game chat. Now, I only have a desire to talk to people that I know or at least people I can assume have a base level of competency and maturity. So bnet's current chat set up doesn't bug me too much. How do you FIND people that have that base level of competency and maturity without a way to even interact with them properly? I mean like you, I played BW some 15 years ago for hours and hours. I still have no purchased SC2 because the times I've tried it have made me really scorn Bnet 2.0 The changes were pretty much all bad except for matchmaking. The thing is...I don't know why anyone would be against making Bnet 2.0 better because it doesnt bother the people that don't want it. They can sit in THE VOID and conduct business as usual where as the people that wanted the social atmosphere can go and have that. | ||

Exactly. why people are so against improvement when its not even ridiculous request. this is an industry standard. | ||

And looking at Bnet 2 and looking at what people describe Bnet1 was, it's clear that Bnet2 is complete miss. It would be really good that Blizzard implemented a good Bnet experience because it would add so much to the game (games if you count D3).~ I hope that blizzard open their eyes and do something about it. Before it's too late. | ||

Maybe I just don't get it but I long onto SC2 to play against other people and get better, when I'm tired of playing I log off and do something else. Seems strange to me that people want to log onto a game then go sit in chat rooms and talk to random guys. Sounds to me that you want to play and MMO but are playing an RTS. Except that this was already possible in all previous Blizzard RTS games... People like to be part of a community. Hell, that is why I'm on Team Liquid. | ||
