Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

If they gave me a free one I'd use it. There was a point in time I was really trying to order one (they were always sold out) but when the battlenet merger happened I became incredibly disgusted with their business practices.
-edit-
LOL @Echo
I have since patched Flash to 10.1 on this machine, but still... pretty crazy.
You don't understand how someone could be mad enough about Blizzard's boneheaded anti-security decisions that they would refuse to pay money for a band-aid to said anti-security decisions?
Hellloooo autism.
You rang?

Yep. And when they were testing said integration in the SC2 beta it basically murdered Battle.net and spread it's intestines across the Internet. And briefly removed regular friends list functions.
They want it so you can basically communicate with anyone in real time via Facebook and across all Blizzard games. Good idea but lousy in practice so far.
I also have a tendency to draw all over my desk.
edit:
Now that's a dumb idea. I wish everything wasn't being linked to Facebook.

Hey shoo, I got here first.
The problem here is you have your boss as a Facebook friend.
My wwwyzzerdd Andy!
Also your family and significant other.
Basically anyone you see on a regular basis.

They really should include them free with Cataclysm. Should have done it with Wrath.
It becomes a cost issue when a large amount of the player-base already has them.
My wwwyzzerdd Andy!
Your thought process is stupid.
"Hrmm, they have terrible security mostly caused by user stupidity and exploits in programs that are not theirs! I will protest by not paying a tiny fee to improve it vastly but keep paying the much larger monthly fee for the game. THAT WILL SHOW THEM."
What?
Sadly Secunia didn't pick up on Flash being out of date, so I found out about the vulnerability a day or two late.
I can only assume some people see it as some kind of "protection fee." Kind of like, "Oh, that's a real pretty WoW account you got there. Four 80s, I'd say about 60,000 gold spread around. Lots of epics there. Be a shame if anything happened to it."

Did you run a system scan? It can only pick up things after a scan, would be nice if it did a real time scan but that would be a bit of a system resource drain.
Yea its not a perfect solution but it does help out.
Yeah, I do system scans twice a day. No Flash ever popped up.
Of course, now it does after I installed 10.1.

The problem with his thinking is that hes attempting to vote with his dollar because he disapproves of their poor security. But not only is he still paying for the game (and thus they have his dollar, monthly) he now also just has poor security while doing it.
"Protection" fee it may be, but its not Blizzard doing the hacking. And its not Blizzard responsible for the users that download every damn thing they please. Free gold if I download this .exe? YES PLEASE. And its not Blizzard's fault that Flash had giant security holes in it.
They might have had it three months ago and they just finally got to you.
Saturday's probably not a good day. Might just sit around and wait for the email to get answered, which will probably happen before I would be able to talk to someone on the phone.
The same guildmate later on admitted to buying gold to pay for the Shadowmorne stuff. This was after he was hacked.
I mocked him, but no one else in the guild cares all that much.

Being in a PVP guild could actually mean something with this shit, yo.
A friend of mine in another guild just lost his account today.

I gotta say that the LK quests compared to the original quests are easily more centralized, but I get there seems to me that there is more feeling behind the ones in Vanilla. It's not the quest writing, but just the flow. In Wrath and BC, it's "grab 4 or 5 quests that go to this area, turn them in, and then get another couple of quests for THIS other area, repeat." I don't know. It's easily much smoother to quest in BC or Wrath, and Vanilla shamelessly has you running quests across the zone, if not on the other side of the other continent, but, to me, there is just something more soulful about vanilla quests. You can also easily tell that Blizzard has learned a lot about how to do quests since they originally released the game. Hell, even their quest chains aren't "go here to WPL, go to LBRS, then run back, do UBRS, run back, do something in Org, go do UBRS again, run to WPL, go do UBRS, and then run back to Org."

"[Name] needs 12 more people to slay Scourgelord Tyrannus!"
Because thats what you had typed. Yeah.
You basically whined about their security and said you weren't buying their authenticator because of it. And you only seem to be canceling your account because you don't find the game fun anymore. Thats good, but previously when you were STICKING IT TO THE MAN by playing their game but not buying their authenticator you were doing a good job of failing at a boycott.
I gave that a spin to see if it's something to add to my "Fixing Mom's Computer" toolkit. I like how it complains about me not having Flash installed.
