Frustration over Blizzard

I'm seriously annoyed with Blizzard. I think annoyed is the wrong word. I think pissed off would be better. The reason? Simply their patching system for WoW.

As I've said, I thought I should give WoW a go and see what all the hype is. But the odds are now that I'm gonna be pissed off and tempted to scrap the project before I even play it.
I got a trial version for it(10 days) and downloaded the game, which was 4,5 gig on the first download. Used to big downloads, I let the machine run through the night as it downloaded and installed the game. Then, as I prepared to play the game earlier today around noon, I was told that I needed to update the game. "Fair enough" I thought, "It's probably an old version I downloaded anyway", so I started to DL the 650mb big patch. Although this took time and frustration, I showed patience and understanding. DLing a 650 meg file on a 95kb/s average line takes a shitload of time, but I'm a patient man.

After DLing and fixing the update, the frustration gets me. I start the game again and once more I get the message that I need to patch the game. Then it hits me. Instead of smacking all the patches into one big one, or do like Microsoft that you can download multiple patches and updates at once, the assholes at Blizzard decides that I first have to download the 3.0.7 patch and install that before I can move on to the 3.0.8 patch and so forth, until I reach the final patch at 3.1.3. How fucking frustrating is that? At the moment I'm DL the 3.1.0 patch which is about 800 mb large. Currently at 13% and a bit over two hours remaining. Then I have to do the 3.1.1, 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 patch. WoW better be the best game of all time, because I'm seriously beginning to wonder if this is all worth it.
