Interesting News from Blizzard

i love it
no more anonymous trolls
or at least trolls posting from their main account
 
Possibly the worst idea I've heard in a long time. This will in fact alienate a large percentage of users - and deter many legit users from contributing useful comments and information on the forums.

+1 fake b.net account gogo
 
Damn, they finally lost it....

What is next? Real name for the toons in-game as well? Toon1 = RealnameWarlock1, Toon2 = RealnameWarrior2 ? I wouldn't put it past them.

Idiots.
 
I was already weary of purchasing SC2 because of the Real ID crap they put in the game, but if they're pushing to include it in everything, they're going to lose a lot of legit business.
 
I actually think its great. I actually avoid the real forums due to all the spam and flaming. Now people might think twice about tossing threads in the crapper for no reason. Their is such a vast amount of resources there, this will hopefully filter it so that there is more of that and less level 1 garbage.
 
People are gonna get pissed at each other on the forums and try to find one another in real life.
 
I'll just make a new Battle.net account, with a fake name, for when I buy SC2.

I don't care enough about WoW to post on the forums.

"The official forums have always been a great place to discuss the latest info on our games, offer ideas and suggestions, and share experiences with other players -- however, the forums have also earned a reputation as a place where flame wars, trolling, and other unpleasantness run wild. Removing the veil of anonymity typical to online dialogue will contribute to a more positive forum environment, promote constructive conversations, and connect the Blizzard community in ways they haven’t been connected before. With this change, you’ll see blue posters (i.e. Blizzard employees) posting by their real first and last names on our forums as well. "

They won't get past privacy advocates. Just wait. If they won't give customers a choice of doing this... they will lose a MAJOR customer base and also inherit a bad image as they are exposing people to being stalked, threat of harm, etc... all due to some neat new feature some DUMBASS in the main office allowed to happen. And the green text in words is that dumbass talking.

I will quit WoW if they do this. Period. Goodbye 7 accounts of my business.
 
I just realized, I use fake names everywhere anyway.
 
How will this stop flamer and spammers again? Does that blue text hurt anyone elses eyeballs?
