Ghostcrawler on why Bluetrackers suck : World of Warcraft General Discussions

Register to unlock hidden imageGhostcrawler has finally Register to unlock hidden link what I've been saying for a while here on Register to unlock hidden link and elsewhere: using blue text on the forums as a way of disseminating information is "a strange way to communicate." He's been appending the words "[Not tracked]" to some of his posts so they don't end up on Register to unlock hidden link because a lot of what he posts is just silly and fun and not to be poured over and examined (especially without the context of the other posts around it). But all of those posts are still picked up by Register to unlock hidden link that many players follow, and he laments that it's annoying to have people jump in on threads without reading all the context: "you end up looking like a real jerk half the time."

I would never call GC a jerk, but it's clear to see what he means -- sending out information via official posts on the forum is something Blizzard has done for a long time, and it's really a bad way to go about it. To their credit, they've been trying lots of new things lately, from Register to unlock hidden link to Register to unlock hidden link and just plain Register to unlock hidden linkon the site. But I've always thought (and still think) that the company could use an official blog -- back when I was playing Dark Age of Camelot, I really enjoyed all of their work on Register to unlock hidden link, and I think Blizzard would benefit from something more like that. They do have Register to unlock hidden link on the front page, but that's mostly licensed items and marketing information, not actual updates to the game.
