D3 release, infinite problems. MoP? Sells less in a week than Cata in a day. So even though you're being sarcastic, you're actually correct. I'm currently playing MoP actually, and I can definitely put my word out there to say that it's a big improvement from the disappointment of Cataclysm, and definitely one of the best expansions once you get your nostalgia out of the way. Especially in WoW's case, first week sales dont reflect anything other than the hype surrounding the upcoming product. Cata was puffed up and supposed to be the best thing to ever hit WoW, while Blizz kept their head tucked down for MoP in terms of advertising. D3 has been bagged on for all the problems during release, and thats all that will be remembered by people who left after the first few months. I've never played it personally, but I'm pretty sure we've had quite a number of people from TL say that the game is much better now as well. You're not really making any sense by saying they dont care about their reputation, especially considering that Blizzard is also working on an entirely new franchise-- whose sales will probably be determined mostly by the current reputation of their other games right now. | ||

One quarter-finals game (between CLG.eu and World Elite) had to be replayed like 3 times until eventually they gave up and had to postpone the match for another day. That? That's inexcusable. SC2 has had some hiccups, but overall the lack of LAN hasn't been catastrophic for tournament and league experience. You should've mentioned the somewhat totally obvious cheating that took place too but it's cool. | ||

Why is Dota2 getting lan? Valve has a completely different stance on piracy, they view it as a service issue. If their service was good enough, the pirates would convert to steam. Activion has a completely different view on piracy, they view it as if their product was impossible to pirate, then all the pirates would suddenly have buy their game. Ingenious | ||

That doesn't make any sense, as Blizzard will still "own" the lanbox, and they could simply refuse to lend one out to kespa. The software on those boxes arent anything you can "copy". Which is why excuses like "piracy" and what you just posted doesn't hold up in the slightest. | ||

Seems like they are worried a bunch of guys working for free could make a better matchmaking system than BNet 2.0. Well, that's understandable. | ||

SC2 hasn't had that happen yet, and until something huge like that happens for SC2, Blizz won't budge. | ||

every time broadband goes down at an event they actually wait for it to be fixed so they can play, instead of playing it out on lan and showing you a vod the next day... | ||

Good for LoL Edit - To the person above me, people have complained to blizzard, didn't do any good. Soo how is complaining to TL better? | ||
