Blizzard Boycott

We are greatly displeased by Blizzard Entertainment's policies past few years. Therefore, we have decided to not buy any Blizzard product until what we are asking has been done. Please read further to see what is that we are after and for what reasons.
World of Warcraft and its expansions

While it certainly is a good thing to create good content in what used to be a good game, there are several major flaws. Both of them (The Burning Crusade and Wrath of the Lich King) are required for access to actual end game content and also they replace the old end game content with new one, leaving the old raids essentially useless and old high level PvP brackets empty. This also leads to situation where they aren't only only optional content they are patches that we have to pay for. Neither of them offers new content for all levels, as two additional races and one class aren't a real change or addition, they are just the same old thing with slightly different way.

Another big flaw is the changes in the end game content. The change of difficulty level is too big. Gearing up for both raids and PvP is too easy and fast since the instances are easy and new, good gear is available everywhere. Not only end game is being replaced with new and worse ones, some of old raids have been or are being removed and replaced with new, easier and less entertaining versions.

In general, the class balance is off. While some classes have gone trough constant nerfing (balancing, reducing effectiveness), playing others has become single button mashing.

In addition of ruining the game play content, the lore of Warcraft is also becoming messy and the in-game content conflicts it too much death knights becoming playable and certain dead characters becoming alive again without a real reason, Illidan for example.
Upcoming games and Cataclysm

The same illogicality of chargeable patch that applies to other two expansions also applies to Cataclysm. In addition of that, it also makes large changes in the old world, the areas that existed before, creating the image of the expansion being a new game that replaces the old one you wanted it or not.

Diablo II is one of the games whose fanbase has been waiting for a sequel for years. While Diablo III sounded like good news for a while, it seems that Blizzard decided to remove auto attack and pan-able view from World of Warcraft and take a few clishйd classes from a generic Korean MMORPG and call it Diablo III after removing all the details that might confuse younger players.

Starcraft II is overwhelmed by the same sense of simpleness and dullness as Diablo III. Nothing seems actually new and all that looks familiar also seems more linear. In addition, breaking the game into three, separate parts that all cost money is nothing but being greedy.

In addition of what has been stated about the two upcoming games, lack of LAN support is nothing but laziness.
The goals miscellaneous information

We feel that we have been cast aside so younger and/or more casual audience could enjoy Blizzard Entertainment's games. While it is not a bad thing to make games for everyone, Blizzard has lost control of development of their games. Instead of doing what would be really the best for the result, they do what previously mentioned new audience prefers.

We who prefer the old style of Blizzard games such as Diablo 1-2, World of Warcraft before the expansions and Starcraft and possibly have played Blizzard games before change of the millennium feel like we have been betrayed and abandoned by the Blizzard Entertainment we used to trust and whose games we used to love.

What we want is:

1. Change of direction in design of the games. Taking one step forward doesn't help if you take three steps backwards every time you do it.
2. Apology. The World of Warcraft players have been ripped off. They were loyal, they paid you for quality. Instead they were given junk.

To get these we decided not to buy any product by Blizzard until what we are after has been achieved. This includes all games by Blizzard*, game time cards for World of Warcraft and any other product related to Blizzard games.
*Includes both new and old games.
