There is a difference between understanding and agreeing. Just because I dont agree with your point, doesnt mean I dont understand.

The point is that most people want to play a game, and need a reason to play a game. the login screen doesnt give a reason to play. Having to create an account to find out what something is like isnt worth it. Neither is having to dig through different parts of a website. The log in screen should save people he trouble of logging in/searching around to find out what elements is about.

The crossroad that we really seem to be at is that you think a player should have to search, otherwise they arent worth it as a player, where as me, I think that it should be the devs job make the person want to come.

I read the description before booting up elements for the first time but this couldn't do any harm.

Why don't we just create a portal webpage or something?

(speaking as an amateur designer with some GUI experience)
God no! flash intros and videos fail (and make harder  to load the whole thing). An attractive and somewhat informative splash screen should suffice.
So, tell me my friend, what can you see? What comes into your mind as you breathe?
'cause I see colors flourishing like you'd never believe... like a pendulum swings, they swing with me!
