Changing the payment model to a microtransaction one is probably the first step Blizzard needs to take before the game can change in these ways, otherwise there will be no financial incentive for Blizzard to do so.

This is why I propose giving up control of the game, open-sourcing the code, and building a profit-oriented business model around the game instead. If the game itself is appealing to a large base of players and viewers, then there is plenty of money to be made. Pretty much everything that works in any other sport.
