10 Million Is Not Enough!
 |
It appears that one of my previous rants exploring Blizzard’s sheer greed when it comes to money has, in-fact, been proven right! The post in question can be found here. It basically sums up the annoyance many players (including myself) felt when Blizzard unveiled a tremendously crap stunt to gain new players to the game. We are not interested in that half-bread zebra!
So anyway, I received an email from Blizzard the other day. It was one of those automated emails everyone who has an active account receives. I would normally copy and paste over to here, but apart from most people reading this already having received one, I must admit I didn’t read it all. Let us just say that the huge “CLICK HERE TO RECRUIT-A-FRIEND NOW” slightly put me of reading the rest of the email.
Now, it’s not that I don’t have anyone to recommend the game to (trust me, I spoke it over with my grandma and finally got her on board). My issues is that I have never, to this day, seen Blizzard promote anything so unimportant to the game this much since Burning Crusade (which was rather more important). Blizzard seem to think that posting it on their website and having it pop up every time the game starts is no were near enough! Emails must be sent!
Please stop trying so hard Blizzard. The last time you sent me an email was to confirm that you had successfully taken $25 out of my account for a server change…
