However, i've started avoiding most forums(went from frequenting 8 down to 2, <3 TL) like the plague because of how terrible they are. Blizzard forums included. | ||

The fact that they haven't listened to the woes and cries over simple privacy settings makes me feel like they just want to do what they want to do. I try to be as friendly as possible but giving out my real name information is not what I want to do when I need help on the Blizz forums. (especially if employers are searching for your name... chances are that stuff will come up almost immediately... I don't want that..) As long as the option to hide my real name information exists I am happy. According to the real ID page it states that it's completely voluntary and optional ==> http://us.battle.net/realid/?rhtml=y | ||

unless they made a typo, it's the other way around now. your real ID shows and your handle is optional | ||

this means that if a possible employer googles my name he will see what an avid poster i am and stuff, this is completely bollocks. we already know that ppl check up on ppls facebook accounts for info on them, i dont want my gaming habits to be available to whomever pleases. | ||

If I wanted people to know my real name online I would tell them. I can't even begin to wrap my mind around how stupid that is. I'm so dumbfounded by that I can't even collect a ration thought in my head. How can they think it is ok to give out peoples real names on a forum. I guess lucky for me, I have never been able to log into the BNet forums... I always get a login error, so I never post there anyway. Luckily I found the TL community, and found out that it has 95% less idiocy than the BNet Forums. I just hope using the real names over there doesn't end up causing a bunch of the spammers etc. from BNet to migrate here. | ||

Then again, maybe I'm the only person that feels like conversations on online forums are worse than conversations in real life. | ||

On a second note, there should be an arena thread where terrible players who think they know what they are talking about because they are "#1 platinum" can bo5 people who actually play the game well. The losers name should be added to a list so people will know to take their posts with a grain of salt. | ||
