True, but still, it's hard to deny that this was a plan that should never have been implemented in the first place :/.
While I do still trust them, and was very happy that they've reconsidered, I'm still going to be much more wary and distrustful of their decisions than I was before. Bottom line is, the fact that they actually intended on implementing really goes to show how disconnected they've become from their player base. Yes, they did reconsider once the fans tripped and they got bad publicity from damn near every website than ran a piece on it, but again, this is something that they should have known the fans would have disliked, even the fact that they said "we're fine with people quitting over this", shows that hell, maybe it wasn't even the fans that made them swing away from Real ID, could've been the bad publicity.
Either way, I'm really never going to view Blizzard the same way I once did, ya know?
edit: YAR, back to SC2.
From what I've seen, there are no new 3 vs 3 or 4 vs 4 maps, hopefully they get on that soon...
Haha, man was that ever an awesome game. Was back and forth the whole time, they'd mount a massive attack on our base, we'd push them back, we'd counter, they'd push us back, all the while we were struggling for map control.
Fucking awesome game, I didn't even feel bad for losing :D.

Oh, shit, you boycotting them over the whole Real ID thing?
Personally, I was close to it, then they announced they were scrapping Real ID, and all my faith was restored.
Now, I've really realized that I shouldn't be so quick to trust them right after that, they scrapped a plan which never should have been considered in the first place, let alone put into action.
You know thats called getting played, right?
Even the topic in the main D3 forum here was closed. Wow, talk about working as intended. They just throw a stupid idea about forum names, one so ridiculously stupid that everyone whined about it, and obviously remind us of RealID in the process. Oh, and then after all the outrage, "hey, we're not doing the forum name part after all".
Nothing changed. Some people even disliked RealID before and liked it after, I'm sure. Maybe thats not really what happened, but it bloody looks like it to me. At least, I've never seen something that makes me doubt them so much.
But hey, apparently I'm some paranoiac guy who thinks every fishy move is some sort of attempt at controversy. But big company with power fool people. And big company don't pull off that kind of stuff for nothing.
Naw, this is exactly what I realized after the joy of Blizzard reconsidering passed, I realized that it probably was a publicity stunt by Blizzard.
Hence, the reconsideration of trusting Blizz all over again :/.

Well, I'm boycotting Blizzard, so... not that I feel like playing SCII right now, though.
@Zhar
And they put you in the Platinum league, didn't they? Or Diamond. Or w/e the top league is now.

So while I'm really happy they scrapped it, I'm also still wary of Blizz, and will probably never view them the same :/.
Yar, got placed in Plat.
It's not the top league, now there's diamond :/.
Though, I like how it works, you actually have to earn your way into diamond by playing, you can't automatically place in it.

For some reason, it seems I've gotten better since the first phase ended.
Went 5-5, stomped every single one of my opponents, seriously, you should see these replays.
