Sugar coating a shit post... the times I live in I swear.
I'm actually a bit miffed that topic is gone. I thought what you wrote was bullshit but it generated some decent discussion and I made a decent reply too that was wasted.
I do feel its quite sneaky / disingenuous of Blizz.
Ok....I don't really care to be honest...not my problem....
Well, Blizzard hasn't given me a reason yet, but it probably happened because of the russian stuff, like some people in this thread are already guessing. How dare someone mention the problems of language barriers, unreadable names, pre-made abuse and botting by russian players. It's clearly my fault that 95% of all bots and 100% of all cheaters that I see have russian names!

Unless this truly is a conspiracy-theory with the ultimate goal of killing every person who's name begins with a J. You won't shrug this off then!
If their forums are half as bad as this one (and they are if not worse) than I don't blame them. I mean a site like this wants as many bodies as possible to suckered into looking at ads and clicking on the bait for the income but Blizzard doesn't rely on that so much. So someone wants to be a cock sucker just ban them and move on. Best solution for them.
I just wish there were some way to identify what company actually owns the game, so the OP could go ask them why they did this, or if it's maybe a bug or something. Somebody has to own World of Warcraft, right? Some game company or something? It's just too bad that we'll never know who that is, and the OP has to come over here and post a useless thread about a subject about which we can do no more than speculate on and argue about.
It's a real cryin' shame, I tell you.
How joyous to be in such a place! Where phishing is not only allowed, it is encouraged!
Your whole post isn#t constructive and only tries to be provocative and show Blizzards in a bad light.
"The community" you are describing doesn't exist. I completely disagree on everything you wrote abut Strand of the Ancients, its a really great BG. People thinking they have lost and not doing anything anymore is a problem in every BG, not just SoA.
I also completely disagree with your statement regarding Russian players and find it offensive that you more or less accuse them all openly of cheating / botting without any evidence.
You are right about legendaries, but they have already said that in retrospect, they would only have introduced utility ones, not performance enhancing ones. So yeah, they know they fucked that up and said so.
So what are you triyng to do, except being provocavtive against blizzard? I really don't see any constructive point in your whole post except problem with writing cyrillic names, which they have probably evaluated as something you'll have to tolerate.
Taking feedback into account does not mean immdiately acting on it. Players are utterly bad at knowing whats actually good for a game.
