    I think someone is thinking of flashing ads and other animations, but really it would just be how its programmed, currently the launcher requires IE to work, its dependant on IE settings and things.

    If you remove IE, or try to install via wine in linux or OSX you also need to install IE just for the game to launch, using flash would remove the need for other software (paticularly all the back doors in IE, IE fails and its time is over)

    IE9 is quite good, not that i use it. but this game wasn't designed to run on linux and you know that going in you will have to take extra steps for it to run.. I personally don't want the game to require flash which is dying as is. its bloated and its crap. Adobe decides to update and bam the launcher could be broken. Keep it browser based.. OR make the login in c and not bother with either
