I didn't say nobody here planned on boycotting the game, but I do think some probably did geniunely lose interest due to this decision.

@Jereel Hunter: That reasoning doesn't make too much sense to me. It sounds like you think everyone taking a stand against the LAN removal were just looking for an excuse to pirate the game. Guess what - some people are actually pissed off over this decision, because it's inconvinient to paying customers. It also feels like they're treating us like criminals - next thing you know, in a few years we won't even be able to play games without connecting online, but it'll be fine because "everyone has internet anyway."

People always make a big deal about "small things." The same goes on when talking about console games, but I don't see people accusing them for making excuses just to pirate the game.

Btw, earlier people were comparing B.net and WoW, but they're not the same thing. B.net is/can be worse because they're offering it for "free." In WoW, if the service is bad, people cancel their accounts, and they immediately start losing money.

I was mainly saying that since a few years wow implementation depends on bnet.

So having bnet fail is not an option.........

One example :

If bnet is down, the majority of the Wow western players can not log into Wow to play.................
