In order to have F2P while reducing smurfing, there needs to be some kind of barrier to 1v1 ranked. Yet 10 first wins of the day is extremely weak for 1v1, while also being too stringent for team games, where there doesn't need to be a barrier to entry. There are also other changes that should made before the game goes F2P, such as cleaning up the WoL campaign so that interface, skins, master archives is somewhat consistent with the later campaigns, and a way to deal with inactive accounts clogging up the ladder, like a leaderboards for active players only. | ||

Ill probably give lotv a try (and maybe even hots so I can test out playing toss with a legit defenses ability on the MC). Kind of sucks I won't be able to play any new campaigns, but its an understandable choice. | ||

Anyway, I guess it's good news if blizzard are happy to monietize this way No LAN, so it was a boycott. WoL was only gifted to me. | ||

Same maps all the time and I was able to get top 8 diamond with both toss and zerg easillt (especially with zerg).

Kind of sucks I won't be able to play any new campaigns, but its an understandable choice. You'll get the HotS campaign for free if you just own WoL, so that's a bonus. | ||

Do you honestly think shaming someone because they are upset is the right way to go about this? I had to pay to play this game and now they are just giving it away. Definitely a slap in the face to loyal customers. Btw, Wtf is wrong with you? | ||

If you can't support companies that lower the prices of their games over time and eventually make some of the content free, there's a whole lot of companies you probably shouldn't buy games from. Do you get angry at Steam sales? | ||

How about game publishers raise, instead of lowering the price of their games over time, so we could now buy LotV at $100 and WOL at $200? Does that make you happy? | ||

What are you talking about? AAA games frequently go on sales on Steam for like 5 bucks just 2 years after release. It's not outrageous. | ||

You should probably uninstall Steam then because Valve pulled the same stunt on Team Fortress 2, and it only took them 4 years as opposed to 7. | ||

Thinking that evolving as an individual/group/business/company is a slap in the face to anyone is a giant slap in the face to science and intelligence in general, no? | ||
