Any new customer reading the comments to those articles will most likely get a bad feeling about the AH.

Good job Blizzard with the bad PR.

Q u o t e:
While trying to make Blizzard look bad, you failed. Most of those sites are not looking at the situation in a negative light at all.

Don't try to misrepresent those sites.


Yeah. You sure did list a lot of coverage, but most of those are just reporting the facts and not editorializing.

We're open to criticism, but please don't conjure it out of thin air.
