I agree with this. People playing WOL shouldn't get less just because they chose not to buy the expansion.

If a tree falls in the woods but there is no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?

I have a really big problem with this point which makes your whole agruement pointless. First who is "no one?" Second when I log onto HOTS I see that there is a 100,000 people currently logged into battle.net, clearly there are people playing SC II. I play the game daily, but I don't count as a someone. Your reasons for GM are dumb. GM is like a way to visually show who the top 200 players in the world are.

I think he was specifically saying nobody is playing WOL anymore.

I think not - because eventually you will get these really strange WoL specialists and it'll be kinda awesome.
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.

It's just a shiny square, who cares. Not everyone bought HotS yet, let them enjoy WoL.

Most people aren't realizing that the majority of WoL gms are actually just hots mid masters.

It's heart of the swarm players wings of liberty just to spend their bonus pool to get the achievement/portrait border for free. No one is elite, or a top player lol.

The few people I played all said "yeah, I have hots. I'm just playing to get gm since its so easy lol":

I don't know, it just feels goofy and cheapens the coolness of being GM imo.

And that is what we get from Blizzard introducing Achievments I guess, lil' boys fighting over sprites and gfxs.

Isn't there an achievement for getting GM?

Oh, I guess it's not pointless since there is an achievement.

I think they should instead just change the icons to match the game they are playing and add a number to say which year and which season it was. For example, for WoL, the icons would look terran like while HOTS, zerg like so we can depict when they got it.

I don't want anything Zerg-like associated to me. :p

Different GM Symbols for each expansion would be cool, like the idea. Gotta get them all to be the top dog !

WoL ladder is obsolete in general. Nothing about it counts anymore tbh, it's just there for people who havn't bought HotS yet or won't for whatever reason they feel like.

Meh.
It's not like a team will get tricked into signing a WoL GM or anything like that. Unless something happens that directly hurts the reputation of the game or the pro scene, leave it be

GM spots in woL are not even completely filled yet since there are so little people in woL now. Honestly the GM for woL should be restricted to like 100 people to at least balance it out

It'll be like achievement date checking in WoW. You may have gotten it, but no one will care once they realize you got it after it mattered.

I think it should stay, we need a running track record for those that wish to remain competitive in WoL
