Blizzard is doing it right, the internet is already filled with assholes, if they can abuse anonymity(is that a word lol ?) we are doomed. I disagree with this completely. There are ways for them to associate the blocking of someone with a unique, hidden variable and it will keep them blocked. People will continue to find ways to be assholes, regardless. Why ruin it for everyone else? It's completely nonsensical to PAY for a fucking name change. | ||

The internet is already filled with assholes and stream cheaters imagine if they could change character code/portrait/name every day ? Seriously guys? I don't have to imagine, I just have to go play a game on the steam platform (pretty much everything except blizz games). Yes it can be abused. Back in the day I was playing MW2 with some mates. We were good enough to pub stomp and people used to always change their name to our clan tag and then write racist and other generic bm in the chat. Blizz should have clan support in bnet .02 pretty much the same way BF2 does it. Hell maybe they could even be innovative and come up with some additional cool clan features. Meanwhile we have facebook integration and everyone is out there screaming for blizz to take their money for paid name change. So confusing. | ||

Forgot to mention Battlenet in starcraft so far is a horribly outdated, restrictive and the latency problems with blizzard servers are just plain frustrating. It's a shame that the company that originally created starcraft and thus inherited the rights turned into the "Blizzard" we have today. | ||

Playing a single race gets fucking boring, and i doubt most people can offrace at the same level as their main (BOs and Macro is different, micro is similar). This is the worst feature about bnet20 i think. I got bored in 1v1 so started randoming and won something like 90% when i was P, 50% as Z, 10% as T. Maybe doing something like sub-accounts under the same game registration would help better match making when people off race. In Wc3 and BW you could just make a separate account to fuck around on, why would they overlook this. | ||

The internet is already filled with assholes and stream cheaters imagine if they could change character code/portrait/name every day ? Seriously guys? by setting up a "pay to grief" system as you're stating, you're in effect legitimizing all people's claims that "they can be assholes and just buy their way out of it". Seriously? is that the kind of way you think society should be? or are you just dumb? What you may not have realized is that people already do this "paid name change" on their own, via selling their SC2 account/CD and buying a new one. GMs and their friends have done it with smurf accounts that get revealed. You really think "pro" griefers and internet assholes dont do this as well? Some simply buy new CDs without even selling their old ones. So saying that it should be a paid name change makes as much sense as shitting on the carpet.
