Wow. Just Wow.
Okay, follow along here:- The WoW game is an online game. It costs $10-15 monthly and players can interact with other people's players, online. Massively multiplayer, mmkay?
- Apparently, the game is broken. Something happened, things are busted, blah blah, no one can play.
- There's some kinda reimbursement thing for lost time, so don't panic.
- just a recap, it's 11 million people who can't play the game.
- Judging by the horribly infantile comments, the vast majority of these players are under 12.
"I'm deleting my account," bleats one tween. "Blizz[ard] just sucks." Blah blah blah, most of it written like a 3rd-grade child of an illiterate home. "Blizz r lame bcuz there game is broken" and stuff even worse.
This makes me ask a few important questions:
- Who are you people, so that when I have a half-day of server downtime in 6 years I can be sure whom I'm not working for at that time. Apparently I could be shot for something so absurdly common.
- How can I make sure that you never represent me, ever? I'm sickened by the wailings of so many kids who just don't get it, and I'm seriously afraid that some of you are over the age of 12 and just act that way because you're unable to cope with the slightest of mishaps.
- Actually, how can I make sure I never work with you either? I'd hate to share an office or work a cube in an area with a single one of you brats.
- Can you not go outside today?

I feel your pain - in my industry, people get upset about the lack of/price of produce that is out of season, or simply lose it when a product isn't available.
The public at large is so used to getting what they want when they want it that any delay has become unacceptable, even if it is out of anyone's control. (See any article about how people freaked out about the RealLemon shortage.)
It'll be interesting to see how people would react if services were ever cut off in a big way, like after an earthquake or some other act of God.
Could you imagine the message boards then?
"Lolz, God sux."
Later.
(w.v. - hydrambo - sounds like a Ancient Greek/ Action Hero hybrid.)
