Blizz's about-face on the subject was hardly surprising; it was a retarded idea in the first place.

But there's no option for "Circumvent the system to use a fake name" which is what I would actually do.



You have a good point. But what if you could use a different name? Anytime someone asks me for my name and I don't know who they are(telemarketers etc...), I tell them my name is Joe Blow from Idaho. lol

Exactly. Plus religious / political view (or you can supress general forum straight away) and anybody can know way too many things about you straight away.

Plus it does happen that a thread turns badly, real ID or not. And maybe people don't want everybody they know to google their name anf find out what they have been saying when they were getting trolled / pissed off etc...

Internet is already killing what remains of our privacy. I will basically never ever, ever, use a real ID forum.

Im new to TL and I really don't want to see my name thrown everywhere on here whenever I post... Probably just browse cuz I still love this place and it's a great community site, just please don't make it real-id... Way too much damage that can be done with that information; too risky.

What I love about Blizzard is how they care for the community, but I was really kind of disappointed to see Blizzard be too scared and timid to actually put it in action. The population that stalks/creeps/harasses people via something like this real id check is sooooo tiny. We have to think of the better good. Keeping the trolls off is a worthy cause for a VERY low risk of being stalked.
