Blizzard is looking pretty bad with all of this. They just deleted the giant thread where everyone was saying how they didn't like the new skill UI. They didn't lock it... nope... completely deleted it. Poor form.
Edit: They had no right to either. No one was breaking any rules. Everyone was just stating their opinion.
I don't think anybody wants the UI but as I've posted before; is it really worth waiting another month for them to change it and test it again? They feel the game is ready for release and I agree. The skill UI (While horrible) is perfectly functional and I'd rather play with it and have the game sooner. It can be addressed in a patch along with chat channels which according to Bashiok seems to be the plan.
I really wouldn't call it a sad sad day as it shouldn't ruin anyone's experience. The only problem I see is the limitation of where you can bind certain keys which I feel is really stupid. Yet most of the spells that I've seen you wouldn't want to bind to your mouse but I guess players have the right to do so.
I don't agree whatsoever. It completely kills my experience and I would -never- consider this UI release worthy if I was in charge. In fact, there's lots of some of the most simple things they just refuse to tackle that are not release worthy. Sometimes I wonder where standards went.
