Andavari Egypt18 Posts July 07 2010 19:32 GMT #22 This is going to make a point how? They arent going to change it, heh just drop it if you know what is good for you lol. If we did do this and I worked for blizzard I would just revoke the rights to the Beta from all those who tried to do this, so its not the best idea in my opinion lol. Then again im not running blizzard ;D

spinesheath Germany8679 Posts July 07 2010 19:34 GMT #23 No, most of the stuff we were aiming for initially has been done. If we now start again with ESPORTS, it will be connected to the old goals and thus look stupid. About the real ID thing: A point has already been made, I don't think naming ourselves REALID has as much impact as "we know which school your children are attending".

Phayze Canada2029 Posts July 07 2010 19:34 GMT #24 nope, dont care. Things seem to be all fine and good currently. Maybe a roach buff. I personally just wont post on the blizzard forums as TL is better anyways.

radiatoren Denmark1907 Posts July 07 2010 19:34 GMT #25 With the reasonable responses given by Blizzard to most of the concerns regarding the game, it would be better to wait and see how their fixes pan out. The only real reason to go for same name would be in a protest against the revealation of personal identifiable information on their forums in case of you posting. However that is of less concern to ingame issues and would honestly imo. be an overreaction.

Dental Floss United States1015 Posts July 07 2010 19:36 GMT #26 They should make it so your name is nick.phone so like my phone number is 01-1-616-555-6786 and my nick for the beta is KimTaeGoon, thus my new ID becomes KimTaeGoon.016165556786 and if someone BMs me or something I can call them up and talk about it.

junemermaid United States981 Posts July 07 2010 19:36 GMT #27 No. This "protest" is the dumbest thing ever. Worst conception and implementation of an idea.

TelecoM United States10708 Posts July 07 2010 19:36 GMT #28 thanks for another pointless thread

Sluggy United States128 Posts July 07 2010 19:37 GMT #29 I might name myself ESPORTS just because the thought of mass people with that name is funny; I wouldn't be protesting anything. Most of the complaints are contrived whiny overreactions.

mucker United States1120 Posts July 07 2010 19:46 GMT #30 Maybe we should try KITTENS instead.

Lite.wasalreadytaken Canada42 Posts July 07 2010 19:56 GMT #31 I hope Blizzard makes some good decisions.

Ryuu314 United States12679 Posts July 07 2010 19:59 GMT #32 I dont' see why they dont' just let identifiers back in. I see no problem with that system. People get the name they want while still being somewhat unique. This numbers thing is just retarded.

skaeve Denmark66 Posts July 07 2010 20:26 GMT #33 I think you should read the first thread about the "ESPORTS-nick" again and why people did it. It wasn't because of the lack of identifiers, it was because Blizzard didn't adress or respond to the (very valid) concerns from the community at that time (including identifiers) - and how hard it would be to get SC2 a place in esports and arranging tournaments etc. All those issues have now been adressed, so I'm not gonna name myself ESPORTS like I did in the end of phase 1.

cocosoft Sweden1068 Posts July 07 2010 20:28 GMT #34 Haven't done it, and never will.

mnck Denmark1518 Posts July 07 2010 20:35 GMT #35 This is a lame attempt at starting a protest I think. This will not change anything, and anyone with the name ESPORTS will look like someone who just whines even when you get what you wanted. We got our prestige and pride in our name back with indentifiers coming back. Can't use the same trick for getting everything, it will just look stupid and pointless.

FC.Strike United States621 Posts July 07 2010 20:40 GMT #36 @OP your arguments are weak at best. The identifier was never meant to be something which you used to express your individuality. Its only purpose was to differentiate two people with the same name if those two people ever happened to cross paths. In the box where you made your identifier, the game even told you that you'd rarely see the identifier - if you never see it, it's working as intended. Since some people were misusing the identifier by doing things like putting their real name, or stealing names in an obnoxious way (something like taking IdrA.IdrA right off the bat), they figured that they'd just automate the entire process by adding a three digit identifier. I for one see nothing wrong with a system like this.

Kennigit Canada19447 Posts July 07 2010 20:43 GMT #37 I invented ESPORTS. It's stupid.
