The OP is 12-15 years old, guys. Just ignore the little troll. He's the exact reason why the Blues respond the way they do to this sort of drivel. Thanks for proving our point, OP.
People make threads titled 'Bashiok knows nothing of diablo' , and call him an idiot, and he's not entitled to respond in kind?
Ok.
I met Bash at PAX East. He was a really down to earth, engaging guy. Fun to talk to. Doesn't deserve all the crap he gets from people who want to complain about one thing or another.

Kinda ironic that he bitches about Bash being asinine, when his post and every reply since reeks of it.
What is with the asinine comments the blues are leaving? They are talking to the playerbase in a completely unprofessional manner. Its actually quite offensive as a paying customer....
They have evolved into a corporation thats only concerned with money, and to hell with the customers.
D3 is a mediocre game, its not our fault they fucked up, so I don't get the attitude.
I doubt I will instantly buy any more Blizzard prducts in the future.
I've been pretty impressed with the responses I've been seeing lately, but maybe I missed the ones you're referring to... Could you post an example or two (In the original post)?
In a communications or service role, there is a limit to what you should have to deal with. I hate being at a restaurant and seeing some dude ranting at the staff and making a big scene over minor issues because he needs to feel powerful, or has a false sense of entitlement. Well, buying a $30 meal doesn't make you a bigshot, and it doesn't mean you own the staff or that they have to sit and listen to you politely no matter how rude you are. Buying a $60 game is the same concept. It's okay to offer constructive criticsm and feedback if you don't feel you are getting your money's worth. But the minute you start raging or crying and being abbrasive, you've crossed a line, and you are not entitled to any more respect than you are giving.
It seems like on the Blizzard forums these days, serious, detailed, constructive criticsm gets completely lost on the board because there are too many non-constructive whining and raging posts. This game has some issues and changes are on the way. I'm sure Blizzard reps don't read every post, but there are lots of replies on the boards, and I think that lots of constructive posts are read. They could probably read more constructive feedback if they didn't have to wade through all the trolling, screaming, confrontational stuff that gets posted daily to find it.
In short, if you get on a forum and accuse someone basically of lying in a professional capacity, using half baked accusations based on flawed math, you probably will not get a polite response and do not deserve one. Also, instead of wasting time on wild accusations and drama, people should be offereing criticsm with more substance if they want their opinions to matter.
