The whole thing comes off as reaction to Blizzard's latest round of bot banning more than anything. Scott, do you mind sharing the actual number of account's banned? Making the distinction for character then trumpeting the 50k number sounds weak to me.
I would if I had it -- Bluntly, I didn't ask for it. Wish I had. I may ask the DBAs to go back and get it, though.

This had absolutely zero to do with PR, Blizzard, or anything else. This was: "We've banned a lot of people in the last few months, and the leaderboards are all clogged up with garbage. Please clean off the garbage, and tell me how many characters are no longer there, so I can tell people how many fewer people are taking up leaderboard space."

When the number turned out as big as it did, I wanted to congratulate the CS teams very publicly. There you go.
