At least they responded though, apparently there are some sane people at Blizzard still. | ||

For real...I guess whining and crying works. I was looking forward to this change. Oh well, I wonder what they'll whine about next? | ||

You're nobody, I'm nobody, we would just keep being a zillion nobodies with our real names, there's really no reason people would stalk us. They'd stalk the famous players asking for them to give away their strats maybe... Oh wait most already do this for free and most already have their names known easily. People overreact a LOT and are extremely paranoid these days, it's like if you know a person's name you can hex her for ever. The friends-of-friends having access to your Real ID and that exploit where you were automatically your own friend are lawsuits waiting to happen. I'm sure we haven't heard the last of that. As for agreeing to ToS, I'm sure there are loopholes whereby Blizzard would not be immune from prosecution. For example, if a child had full access to his own account (maybe he pays with gametime cards etc), and agrees to the ToS - it's not legally binding since a child cannot make a legal contract. If I have a Battle.net account that I haven't logged into since 6 months ago, it gets hacked, the hacker then agrees to the new ToS, and uses the account for spamming. So, I go to my friend's list and see a bunch of random names, you don't even see which character or on which realm/server they play, you only friend whoever you want to anyway. Children can't have accounts, they're wrong already if they do, you're acknowledging you're over a certain age if you're making an account afaik, if there are any bizarre lawsuits(people sue for anything these days anyway.) Blizzard will hopefully win. | ||

That's a bit of an arrogant post don't you think? That's pretty much saying that the only people that had an objection to this real ID thing were kids that had no clue what they were talking about...when frankly it seemed like the total opposite to me. You don't have to try something to know if it's going to be a train wreck waiting to happen and this was likely one of those things. | ||

And we'll all be pleased with Blizzard instead of looking at the currently still very very sad state of battle.net 2.0 99% of us, meaning 0.1% of Blizzard Customers. and if you keep with the stuff that is not a big deal then try to read some news to see what can happen and what did happen. Gaming Community is not equal to Social Community (facebook, orkut) | ||

But I don't think the Starcraft 2 community played the decisive role. It was WoW that made the news. (sadly) Which means... oh, wait. | ||

There were some mature adults objecting to it but if you took away all the ignorant and whining kids, there wouldn't have been enough people objecting. The popular opinion on teamliquid.net agrees with me. Everyone here thinks the b.net forum is a shithole and the people that post there are immature and idiotic. | ||

But BNet will have to evolve. IT NEEDS TO EVOLVE. And begin to obtain a community like here on TL (yes, I'm a dreamer.) | ||
