What happened to Travis? :O
Best I got is this, which explains a bit. Guess there hasn't been a director since Wilson left?
The Annual Pass was in order to keep people subscribed to WoW for the time between D3's release and MoP going live. It had nothing to do with the RMAH.And as far as the annual pass goes, it was not some good will gesture, it was to get people into the RMAH and spend money so blizzard could make money. Simple business move. Nothing more.
Or maybe you could use the actual quote, and not one that you've altered to make Blizzard appear petty and vindictive:
We of course want Diablo III to be as fun as it can possibly be, but if you do not think the game is fun to play right now, then it is maybe not a bad idea to simply take a break and check back in again at a later time in the future to see if the game has improved more to your liking by then.
They have made a lot of changes that have made the game much better than it was a year ago. And what kind of idiot keeps playing a game even if it is no (longer) fun?
