50% of the community ? where ?
TL isn't 50% of the community
2000 pages of posting isn't even near a 5% of the WoW players.

New players will come and they will be harassed for sure.
And it only takes 1 person to be harassed in Real Life to prove that the system fails, and it will happen, a 3 Million people country have stalkers, murderers, paedophilia, TROLLS, and stuff, now imagine a 12Million Country were most of them are Male and they are USED TO TROLL...
In a game were a lot of feelings get involved (people breaking up their computers cz they lost a match or a raid or whatever).

Yes, you might be safe, I might be safe, maybe all the TL community will be safe, but what about the others ? You really think that you are the only player in the world ?

Jesus I hate this kind of arguments... such selfish prick.

Besides, how often does this even happen? I mean really... lets be realistic here. If there were so many psychotic nerds out there, Browder and Kotick would have been tracked down and murdered long ago.

Yo, this is the story all about how
My Real ID made some !@*@ go down
I'd like to take a moment, just listen to me
And I'll tell you all about how Blizz took my privacy

In West Dun Morogh, born and raised
Adventurin' is how I spent most of my days
Questin', groupin', craftin' my gear
Grindin' Ashen Verdict rep up to Revered
When a guy named Robert Kotick, up to no good
Did somethin' nobody understood
He showed up on the forums, said we'd use our real names
And that "Now everyone who googles you will know you play our game."

I whistled for a blue and when he came near
He said they'd been plannin' Real ID for over a year
I said bein' stalked and @#%#ed up wouldn't be funny
But Bobby said "NAW FORGET IT, YO HOLMES IT'S MORE MONEY"

I went to my account and canceled all my data
And I yelled to Bobby Kotick, "Yo holmes, smell ya lata!"
I looked back at an Azeroth with no security
And thought 'Goodbye WoW, I'll keep my obscurity.'

Almost all the articles and complaints on this subject are based in hypothetical slippery slope arguments and are continuum fallacies instead of actual reality.

All the real problems are solved by not using the Blizzard forums, which in no way impacts your ability to use the rest of the service.

The slippery slope part isn't a fallacy at all. It's painfully clear 'social networking' is the new buzz word being sent down to Blizzard, and it's going to affect every part of battle.net 2.0.
