    Diablofans Twitter Question Fail, why?

    So they have asked the following beta-key giveaway question in Twitter:

    "The following is a list of runespells, Which class -DOES NOT- have a runespell listed: Scramble, Punish, Night Stalker, Cyclone?"

    ...and while the answer for such a question was obviously Demon Hunter and Witch Doctor, they deemed the answer, Witch Doctor as correct, while disregarding answers of "Demon Hunter and Witch Doctor" combinations.

    Moreover, Night Stalker isn't a runespell, its passive. Nightbane is the runespell for Demon Hunter.

    Furthermore, the question should have been asked as:

    Which class -DOES NOT- have either of the runespells listed: Scramble, Punish, Night Stalker, Cyclone?

    Even though are some people asking them what are they going to do about this fail of theirs, they still haven't responded.

    So what are your thoughts on this matter? Should they give out some apology giveaway to those of whom that has answered the question correctly, as cancellation is out of the question due them having delivered the keys to the "winners".

    Either is still wrong. The correct one is what he said or, alternatively, any. Either refers to a pair, not four. Them listing a passive (accidentally or on purpose, I'll assume the former) in a list otherwise filled with actives should've made it clear the correct answer was Witch Doctor, but yes, they probably should've clarified (the word runespell specifically, because I haven't heard that before...). No, they shouldn't do anything about it now, because it was a pretty informal 'contest' and it's really not that big of a deal.

    Both refers to a pair where either refers to multitudes of pairs or the tertiary relation with a pair, making it a basis for multitude of choices, nevertheless...

    Runespell is the term used for the rune activated/modified effect of a skill

    Which class, doesn't that indicate singular? So the passive skill was probably just a mistake. On some of the other questions where there has been some debate over what is correct or not they have said more or less "ours is correct, live with it". Think they even awarded a key to someone that answered wrong even according to them, but didn't think it was necessary to correct it.

    And as someone else noticed somewhere, twitter run on many servers and updates are far from instant on all. That makes a lot of people complain that there are like 100's of correct answers like 2s after they see it posted etc.
