 Oh man, this is going to make the 2nd phase for tournaments absolutely horrendous, but it would be funny as hell. "The Roughriders are really pounding the Roughriders, oh my!" | ||

blue written by Zhydaris, a Blizzard Poster Well, I'll be honest: I can't actually see the usefulness of such initiative and I don't see how it even fits this discussion. These people are naming themselves "ESPORTS" to protest against: - Lack of Chat Channels ... and we just announced that Chat Channels are going to be in the game a few months after release. - No Cross-region play ... and we just announced that cross-region play is definitely in our plans. - No Unique ID ... And we just announced that every combination of nickname + 3 digit code will be unique and you will be able to add friends by using this combination. - You need to give out your email address ... Which is not the case anymore, as adding Nickname.007 will be enough. I can understand the reasons behind such initiative, but I don't think that they chose the best method to explain their concerns, they will just end up sharing the same nickname with a different 3 digit code. I don't see how this will contribute to voice their concerns, let alone solve them. We listen to the community, we don't listen to... flocks of nicknames. We need useful feedback, opinions, suggestions, concerns, questions and so on, ending up with hundreds of people sharing part of their identifier (aka only the nickname part) is not going to help at all. You all are more than welcome to post in these forums and share your concerns, I believe that we just addressed the main concerns that were brought up on these boards and we would like your feedback based on what we disclosed today. This is the only way we're going to make Battle.net 2.0 better. The number will be automatically generated. Please keep in mind that you won't be able to see this code everywhere, but only on certain screens. (i.e. it won't get in the way and it won't ruin the "look" of your nickname, don't worry! ) http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=25399622869&sid=3000&pageNo=3#43 | ||

Of course, even after they give us the features discussed, people will always find something to complain about. | ||

- No Unique ID ... And we just announced that every combination of nickname + 3 digit code will be unique and you will be able to add friends by using this combination. The fact is they haven't given us unique identifiers they just gave us the same thing we complained about and called it something different. While they have announced they are adding some of the features players are complaining about, people won't stop complaining about names until they name themself ESPORTS and they are the only one named ESPORTS. When there are 10,000 people running around with the name then there are going to be problems, and I think if we continue to protest in this manner that it will be changed. Players not "in on the joke" will complain that they keep facing players with the same name - whether they think its the same player or not. They haven't fixed the problem, they have just taken their "better solution" and renamed it, thinking we are dumb enough to jump all over it and accept it without actually giving us what we are asking for. | ||

Honestly, Zhydaris makes himself look stupid here. I am pretty sure that 500-1000 people named ESPORTS are recognized more than 500 random posts on the bnet forums asking for this and that. | ||
