found a lovely metaphore on the blizzard feedback forum I gotta share with you guys.

Say that blizzard is a restaurant, Starcraft 2 is the food they serve and battlenet 2.0 is the waiter that brings you the food.

Now the food is hands down awesome, it's the best thing you've ever ate, in fact it's so good your mouth orgasms when your tongue touches that culinary delight.

How ever the waiter is a dick.

He doesn't allow you to talk to any one else at the table, but you can whisper to some one close to you as long as no one else hears what you're saying (no chat channels).
When you see some friends of yours at the next table he doesn't allow you to get up and go to them unless you order the exact same thing you've ordered at your table once you reach their table (no xrealm)
If you want salt on your food you have to pay extra, if you want pepper you have to pay extra, if you want to use the napkin, you have to pay extra, if you want a tooth pick, you have to pay extra, if you want to go to the bathroom you have to pay extra (map marketplace).
While you order the waiter places a microphone under your table in order to gather personal information about you, information that he will use to make statistics and sell to other restauranats.
Sharing food between you and your loved one is completly forbidden since there have been case where people would eat for free by doing this (no lan)
The plates, knives, forks and the dinner table are filled with adds.
At the end of the lunch you can't see the whole bill, just the first 2 items you've baught and how much the overall price is, but not the price for the individual items (no world wide ranking)

Now would you WANT to go again to the same restaurant? Even if the food is good?

Would you really be surprised if some one would say "let's not go here anymore untill they fire that waiter?"

= privacy

Also an addition:
If you tell other people your name, and the waiter doesn't like it, he tells you to change your name or kicks you out of the restaurant. Even when your surname means "General" in some language. (naming policies)
The waiter also knows some languages and has a sharp ear, waiting for you to say some words and when you say them he will shriek out some nonsense, making it impossible for the ones you're talking to understand what youre saying. Unfortunately the waiter is so incompetent, that even when you use daily used / normal words he will shout out nonsense (the word "hier" in Dutch means 'here', yet it gets blocked). ("coarse" language filter)

I'd probably tell the manager the food was great and I'd never eat here again because of the waiter.

Cute.

Most of the associations are quite clever, except for the "you can't see the whole bill = no world ranking" one. Doesn't make much sense.

But yeah, the overall "product is good but you are treated like an idiot" picture is a good relation.
Take us into orbit Mr. Malmsteen. We've seen enough.

Mmm delicious threads

Yup, even though he was getting old and it was showing on him, he still knew really well what the customers wanted
