Extremely tasteless advertisement. Too big, a slap in the face, and to be honest almost an insult to us who log to the site to get info on WoW and the current PTR.
I also find it ironic that it is on WoWhead front page. This site is about WoW, not any other game. This will affect your traffic as well. You shot yourselves in the foot.
You have other ads in your site but on much smaller scale to bother the reader.
I am going to assume you guys got paid a lot for the add to be in the front page but to be honest it was not worth it. Whoever came up with this idea must be completely out-of-touch with that this site represents and who the users are.

By Pizza Hut advertising for Dominos, they would lose sales to Dominos, because people would only eat one pizza. WAR advertising on another MMO's site doesn't take away sales from that MMO. fyi, you're allowed to play more than one MMO at the same time.
Sorry but you're wrong on this topic: you can eat more than one TYPE of pizza like you can play more than one type of MMO. You do not eat 2 pieces of pizza at the same time as well as you do not play Wow and Warhammer on 2 separated windows (maniacs apart). The point is, this was a bad choice and the feedback is clearly showing you what people think. Also, publishing something with errors is *horrible*, considering that this campaign has a 4 words sentence "the killer pvp experince".

It is also covering the PTR link and forcing us to click the add. Just too too bad....

anyway, wowdb is neato as well...kind of how wowhead was in the beginning - tidy clean interface...I'm off for "a couple of days" there until that arrogant slap-in-the-face ad dissappears...
and I'm sorry Malgayne - I haven't said that I disconsider or don't appreciate your work on wowhead - but the first page is a clear example of "money above everything" attitude and lack of interest (not to mention respect) for the users...

I agree, 100%.
I'd also like to note that I'm actually kind of SHOCKED to see the site admins mocking people who are voicing their concerns on the first page of this thread, too. Because uh, this IS the feedback forums, isn't it? I didn't see "positive/supportive" anywhere in the forum title.
Seriously, though. If you had to put a WAR ad on the front page, keep it confined to a corner, or
something

I wasn't setting out to mock anybody. I just honestly didn't realize that this was something that would genuinely offend anybody, so when the complaints started to roll in I kinda laughed 'em off without realizing how serious it was. =/
I'm sorry about that, I won't make that mistake again.
Every comment, thought, feeling, and concern is noted here. We welcome all feedback, positive or negative. Leave it here with us and we'll take it all into consideration the next time we have to make a decision like this.
*shakes hands*

I understand you can't edit the image... But is it hard to shuffle it? Just a thought because as I said earlier, it's hard to click some of the links on a fullscreen setup:
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9317/moveplease.jpg
I'd show the image here, but it'll break the page... So yea... Running three monitors, I have my righthand my browser page, and being fullscreen, the image basically runs right through the text, making it not only hard to read, but insanely hard to click. For some users, it may even drive them insane. If you can shuffle it, that would totally rock. If not, I understand.
Constructive thought. Don't hurt me. >.>
LOL i see what you did with the other tab LOL
As for the Ad its horrible.
To all those who say: "What should they do put? Another WoW ad? I say Yes, but it doesn't have to be WoW it can be an ad for say a video card of some kinda or a Mouse for WoW something is you can use for all, but not limited to WoW.
