I disagree with the assertion that the design of the launcher is insignificant and that complaining about it is petty.
You might have a point if someone were complaining about the particular shade of blue used to color the background, but we’re talking about something fundamental: cross-game promotion/advertising, auto-playing video ads, and an embedded news feed and friends list that cannot be hidden.
In relation to the discussion about the launcher, those issues are not insignificant.
That’s because you’re playing retail.
I suppose I should’ve been more clear in saying that no one playing only Classic cares about LFR wings in retail.
I will agree with this point. Touche.
After thinking about it a bit more I also agree about the auto playing of ads and videos. Should only play if you choose to watch it. I get that.
None of those impede the primary purpose of the launcher though which is to provider a central place to launch games and keep them up to date. As well as generally manage your bnet account.
Actually I like that it splits out blizzard vs activision games better now so I only see blizzard games unless specifically try to see everything.
I’m interested in one game. And it’s a 15 year old version of the game. Hopefully we can continue to not have to use the launcher and avoid this bloated monstrosity.
I remember, back in 2007 the mainsite of this game kicked so much @ss.
Player submitted screenshots and comics featured, a nice page of all the lore and books I swear existed at some point unless I hallucinated reading the thing one weekend I wasn’t able to play the game.
I wish they would cut the adds by 50% and feature more community content, (screenshots) and have a poll option or guides and lore.
With very few exceptions, games suck compared to 15 years ago, and marketing now rules the day. You are not an enlightened better, you are merely brainwashed white knights. And in your specific case, a troll.
What a refreshing perspective eyeroll. Basically, anyone that disagrees with you is a troll. Narrow minded and discriminates against anyone that doesn’t play classic wow. Got it.
