My only minor niggle with this, is that this connection to live seems to come out of the woodwork all of a sudden. I cannot recall anywhere in the run up to this announcement (which admittedly was unexpected) people wanting this. I could be wrong, and please call me out if there is anything that corrects me, but I thought people wanted vanilla for the experience, not as a means to funnel unobtainable (or very hard to obtain, like through the BMAH) to your retail characters.
Hopefully that makes sense?
