I think it's fine as is. Btw they did redesign it recently. But, as i was saying. I like that it's not intrusive. I think that is part of the reason it's more tolerable.

Shocking isn't it? We've been under foot from Blizz for so long that it's amazing when someone treats us with respect.
I really like the FF devs.
I like the SWTOR devs too. They have live streams on twitter every once in a while and they are really swell and excited about the game. They have a lot of forum communication these days too.
Meanwhile in WoW... we got Lore yelling in a patch trailer and no communication from the devs except some highly controlled lore interviews. Not exactly the same.
The PR department at Blizzard is utterly incompetent. I can tell you that as a professional of the field. I don't know where those phony people got their degrees. Silence is hardly ever a good strategy. You have to control the narrative.
