I dont care either way whether it was still active there, but what damage does it do to you or your ego that it was active until now? Who cares if someone left over in WoL got GM. They are GM in a game with 1% of the previous player base or some other low guestimate. Why does this bother anyone? Are you unhappy you didnt get GM? Jealous? It doesnt tarnish GM at all because no one is going to confuse HotS GM with WoL. The best that can be said for those people in WoL GM is they'd have a happy few moments after they made it and that would be it. They arent dumb enough to think they are GM quality in HotS too so why does it bother so many people? Do people search for useless shit to complain about? It caused no harm to anyone by having it there. Taking it away isnt the end of the world either but it seems like a waste of their time imo. Could have just left it to the amusement of those who were left. I actually agree with this... I haven't played SC2 in a very long time, more than 6 months... I don't have Hots. I wish I remembered earlier to try to go for GM in WoL. it'd be fun. | ||

I was GM in WoL but now I'm plat in HotS because Blizzard totally messed up the game now, here's a screencap of me in GM. ggnore scrub" Mostly kidding, and dont really care, but I wouldn't put this past some people... -_- That's actually exactly what most WoL GM farmers will be like. | ||

Not really it only changes WoL GM's term and even then you could go back and see when they got it by checking their ingame profile. HotS GM is completely unaffected (which is all that matters in the end or even really current GM is all that matters.)

Just in case anyone can't tell I'm joking in the last line as someone PMed me thinking I was serious, and I just want to express that I meant offence in anyway whatsoever. | ||

But dividing both profiles into separate ones would achieve the same thing except it would still give the people that want to do it for fun and feed their fantasies of getting real GM. If it gives people fun then they should keep it after all its a game and people are meant to enjoy it, and it wouldn't affect anyone. | ||

You Americans are all for the "it's a free country, let people do what they enjoy" kind of thing, but if it ruins Blizzard's impressions/vision of their GM league, you are depriving others of what they enjoy, aka the hots people who would like the Grandmaster title to mean something. WoL can rot in hell, compared to HotS that game is trash. | ||

It's meaningless not because it's not the most played and competitive game atm (many other games are not as played as HotS, and they still have a ladder and k-best players :D), it's meaningless because the game is completely imbalanced and will stay that way. Being one of the best roach infestor ZvZer out there isn't something to be proud of, Blizzard is actually just doing you a favor. | ||
