I know that i bumped a thread but I don't think it was such a big sin to do it but let's go on the main topic.
Your guesses are wrong and I certainly play in the official Battle.net since I bought the game and I have put the original CD keys which are inside the game . I play in Northrend since I'm from Europe...EuropeBattleNet is first place i played Warcraft before buying it(I downloaded it

).And my opinion is divided - it's really fu*ked up and it isn't a good place to play.But I feel it like the frist place i played this brilliant game so its kinda close to my heart, if you know what I mean.
And here comes again to the old topic.You are saying to me that I have to host my games and not to join..EXCUSE ME I though Battle.net is made to play in whatever type I want.Let's say I can't host, what happens next ? And then back to reality - I really can't host properly(almost nobody joins my games) + I don't care about the footies, there is always gonna be imbalanced versions which happen to be the most liked by the players, I was talking about the retarded people all over there - I'm sorry but I tried once to give you some quotes in the last post but obviously I wasn't good enough.I just can't quote this 'retardness'.I don't know if I mentioned in the last post, but players there seem to play versions of games 1-2 years old while there are brand new versions(ex. Legion TD 1.50 when there is already 2.6...).And when I try to explain them that there is new versions(I even host 'em), everybody is like *total silence* / *accusing me that i host hacked versions*.
This all is a little part from what i experienced the last weeks in Battle Net.
About Garena, to be honest with myself, I totally agree with you almost everything I said except the patch thing, maybe you played long ago in Garena and enver come back see what happens, if you are from normal Europe country, YOU always play on the newest patch, if you are from Asia - often people there play on older patches(unknowingly why) and always when you join room - on the room is written which patch does it use.Well I don't know the things in USA(where I'm almost sure you are from) but I guess they are lin Europe.I don't know about you but I play DotA the most, and I play decent good.I prefer to go in HLR's cause the other simple rooms are minor copy of what Battle Net DotA really is.The room space is indeed a problem but if you have a patient of 5-6 minutes and you try to join, you will be rewarded.If you try to join early in the morning somewhere between 9:00 - 10:00, there will be a place.If you are in the room and you want a friend to join the room too, you can ask gold members to rejoin and leave spots for your friend/friends.
The Garena community which holds Garena as a trademark is asian and they are VERY HUNGRY for money, so that's the reason for so much expensive items in the Garena Shop.Garena often bugs and crashes by some mysterious reasons never explained BUT STILL - I prefer it to Battle Net and ofcourse the reason again is the people there(got tired of commenting people in both servers but I can asure you that people in Garena at least have more brain and IQ than 90 % of the idiots in BattleNet Northrend, there are also retards in Garena but it's not something serious...).
I excuse for probably offending someone but I just make my own decision of what Battle Net is.If somebody replies to this I'm sure he is going to say that maybe in Azeroth things are different but I'm not sure if I'm going to register there and check things out because I really don't wanna facepalm everytime I join/host a game.
And finally I feel bad that my english is poor and I don't have alot of time and nerves to present you some ULTIMATE-400000 CHARACTERS-POST but this is just what I think
Cheers
PS: Afterall life isn't Garena nor Battle Net and lets look forward in life
