 Wryxian posted the following on the Wow-Europe thread about this forum change: " We have been planning this change for a very long time. During this time, we have thought ahead about the scope and impact of this change and predicted that many people would no longer wish to post in the forums after this change goes live. We are fine with that, because we want to change these forums dramatically in a positive and more constructive direction. It's been very obvious over the last few years that the forums are an exceptionally valuable source of information both for players and for us to gather feedback. There are many threads on this forum now, and over the last few years, that people have been constructively discussing many aspects of the game. They've received new wisdom and have then been able to go back to the game and enjoy it further with the new knowledge acquired through the forums. These threads, however, can often be lost amongst a great deal of other threads that are basically filled with trolling, name calling, flaming, off-topic conversations and that's just a small amount of some of the content that has been found in these forums over the years. We don't want that anymore, and we believe the Real ID change will bring about a lot of the improvement that we are hoping for. There's a lot of scare-mongering going on about the change, but there seems a need to make something very clear. The forums have always been an optional extra -- something you can choose to participate in if you wish to. With our Real ID changes for the forums, this is still the case. The only difference will be, if you do choose to participate in the forums, then you will do so by using your real name. But only after you've been warned and accepted this in advance. " I find this deeply offensive. They're "fine" with alienating a huge portion of the player base, because getting rid of spammers and trolls (still have yet to see ANY explanation how real life names are at all relevant to this; the same unique accounts tied to game licenses that worked exactly the same way except that they displayed a unique forum handle chosen by the user instead of first and last name would accomplish 100% of the stated goals of this change while resolving 100% of the privacy concerns. As one of the players who doesn't consider himself a spammer or troll and plans to stop using the official forums once this change goes live, I don't appreciate being told that Blizzard basically doesn't give a shit about me or my desire for privacy. | ||

The only people able to see your names should be blizz moderaters themselves, if ANYBODY at all. Just hire more moderators instead of putting ALL THE LIABILITY on the consumer, like all evil corporations do. | ||
