Isn’t this where games go do die?
Haven’t we all see this with other games before. The only question I have is; what is coming out in Nov that has Blizzard calling it quits with World of Warcraft. I mean this is the first step in shoving the responsibility of World of Warcraf onto someone else isn’t it?
Player: Hey I have an issue with my account.
Blizzard: Don’t ask me talk to Battle.net.
Seriously, how many games dose Blizzard actually have that people play; 1, World of Warcraft.
Let me guess Battle.net…
I open the page, get bombarded with advertisements.
I register with Battle.net and I get spam in my email, Text massages on my phone, pop ups all over every link on Battle.net, and lets not forget Spyware!
I get bombarded with in game chat from new gold sellers with the ability to cross server chat now.
Good question about this cross server chat; Why the heck would I want to talk to someone on another server unless I’m a gold seller?
Here is another thing I don’t understand about Battle.net and its right off the Battle.net FAQ.
Q: Are these Battle.net Accounts related to Blizzard Accounts?
A: Battle.net Accounts are an evolution of the existing Blizzard Accounts. If you already use a Blizzard Account, you do not need to create a new Battle.net Account -- the Blizzard Account has been automatically converted, and people with existing Blizzard Accounts have received an email containing more information.
Doesn’t this mean none of us here have to get a Battle.net Account by Nov 11, because we ALL already have a Blizzard Account from World of Warcraft?
What happens to all those people who have taken some time off and come back only to find they cant log in anymore and it is [mandatory] required, to open a Battle.net account by Nov 11. Are there accounts just deleted if they don’t?
Anyway, who dose Blizzard actually think they EA, SONY! You got ONE GAME that’s popular, and you haven’t made anything anyone wants to play besides World of Warcraf in a decade.. Starcraft, give me a brake, Diablo, talk about a relic. Does Blizzard even have anything besides World of Warcraft currently?
Anyone want to bet Blizzard loses 15%-25% of its existing accounts over this?
They just lost mine because I cant figure out what you want me to do. I already have a Blizzard account supposedly so if I create a NEW account wont that mean I have to start all over again with a new account? Happened in SWG, bye the way with the same kind of junk.
Battle.net Security-
Anyone read this?
Basically its just telling you, YOUR responsible and if you want a secure account you have to BUY an Authenticator from Blizzard.
Simply put… This whole Battle.net Account is a Scam!
A scam to get you to look at even more Advertisements
A scam to add spam to your email
A scam to get you to buy junk off from the Blizzard Store
A scam to let them text massage you phone. (they already do this currently).
A scam to get you to buy an Authenticator, so another $6.50, out of your pocket.
A scam to make people lose there accounts and start over as has happened in other games during a switchover like this; SWG for example.
Battle.net EULA-
Funny…
*
use cheats, automation software (bots), hacks, mods or any other unauthorized third-party software designed to modify the Service, any Game or any Game experience;
*
So, half to 85% of the population of wow just got banned [MODS]. Even screen picks of the day show MOD users half the time.
I don’t get this Switchover at all, and in fact this is exactly how I lost my SWG account with Sony and it took weeks to straiten out the mess, and by then I didn’t want to play it anymore.
Good luck with your Battle.net scam Blizzard. I’m out;
-Like I need to see text from Gold sellers from 50 different servers to add to my gaming experience.
-Like I need to remember just one more account password.
-Like I need to be bombarded with Blizzard store offers.
-Like I need to be bombarded with another whole set of advertisements I have to weed though to get to my game.
What so wrong with what we are doing now?
-I click the icon on my browser.
-I click Play
-I type in my password.
-Then I play.
No one at Blizzard ever heard of the KISS Rules?
