Just posted this on official site- any thoughts?
I am royally disappointed in once again feeling short changed from Blizzard when it comes to anniversary of their playerbase.
Do we remember last year they couldn't even get the year right! telling us to go kill Deathwing again- nice...
I really enjoy the flavor thing of anniversaries, this is your time of the year to show your appreciation to your playerbase. A thank you for all the years of support (especially when you are losing subs hand over fist these last few years)
I fully enjoy this game, It is great however you seem to quite frankly not care about us much any more. This makes me sad, really does. Let us compare some other games and what they did for their anniversaries compared to the tiny effort Blizz has put in shall we?...

So do you see why I feel we are all short changed? compared to other companies out there Blizz is once again showing they quite simply just Do Not Care about their playerbase!
Before anyone comes in with *they are building new expansion they have no time* - is that a valid excuise to not add either an in-game event, or at the very least...a pet!
I mean cmon wake up blizzard or lose more of your increasingly detatched playerbase.
These are just some of the competitors out there for blizz.
