I can understand the frustration for Steam users, because the function is just not there, which sucks for them.

But those that 'don't want to pollute their facebook' seem to be using a huge cop out. Create a gaming FB account, or dont take FB so seriously (because its a huge joke anyway) or create a custom user group that have a limited view of your profile if you're afraid of strangers. To me, creating some excuse over not doing it is akin to someone saying "Hey, there's $100 bucks on the ground across the street" and you replying "YOU MEAN I HAVE TO CROSS THE STREET??? UGH"

UGH" I get that, which is why I used the sarcastic white girl problems phrasing. The root of my complaint that I didn't articulate is that it's dumb to have a source of iso that has nothing to do with the actual game that is capable of generating more daily iso than a person can earn by actually playing the game. FB arguments aside, you have to admit that's stupid.

FB arguments aside, you have to admit that's stupid. From who's perspective? It's not dumb for players because they can progress faster and get drawn into facebook communities and are more likely to be capture by the game and therefore buy stuff (because most of us aren't getting 10k+ from Facebook - a lucky few are but most are in the low 1000s probably which isn't nearly enough It's not dumb from the d3/demurge perspective because it promotes longevity and gives them demographic info on their players they wouldn't otherwise get - plus they are more likely to monetise those who stick with the game and get drawn in which is after all what they need to do to survive as a company. It's dumb from the perspective of steam players because they miss out - in the same way Android sales are dumb from an apple users perspective because they miss out. Ultimately you can ask for a merge onto a mobile account so its your choice to play on the platform of your choice with the inherent limitations or benefits that creates - if I wanted to I could get an android piece of junk phone to benefit from their more regular than iOS sales - but I don't - I also don't moan that they exist.

The only way the game separates players is the (somewhat arbitrary) "vet", "noob", "intermediate" stuff you see people talking about.
