You are way too presumptuous.
Petitions don't work, and this type of nonsense is clearly going to be less effective than a petition.
Be glad that they are not using your full name and address as a unique identifier.

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

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".
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

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.

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.

No. This "protest" is the dumbest thing ever. Worst conception and implementation of an idea.

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.

Maybe we should try KITTENS instead.

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.

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.

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.

@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.
