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.


The quality of the b.net forums isn't the issue here really. I never post on the forums, nor do I read them, except to check patch notes or updates from blues.. But that doesn't change the fact that I know this was a terrible idea.

The fact that it doesn't affect me personally has no bearing on the merits of implementing a system like this. I'm sorry that you live in such a self-absorbed world that you can't even care about something that could potentially have much larger and far-reaching consequences. Privacy is already difficult enough to stay on top of these days.. the last thing we as consumers need is another precedent set to erode the already shaky ground of internet privacy.

Thank goodness.

Good thing they listened to the community.
Yeah, because every person you play against would be so so interested in finding out personal info and murdering you and your family.

People who want to murder you already have enough avenues of information available for them to find the info they need. Having your real name posted on some b.net forum won't make a difference.

Anyway, congrats guys, all you people who have tons of personal info listed on your myspace, facebook, or livejournal, or those of you who fill out job or credit applications with your social security number/address, or those of you who make major purchases (cars/houses) that require divulging personal information, or those of you that wear name tags or badges at work, or those of you that give your cell phone number out to any friends, or those of you that have phone numbers listed in the phone book.

You're so much safer now that your first and last name won't be posted on the Starcraft 2 Battle.net forums.

Dude did u just bump this thread in order to bitch and moan? What is your angle here? Seriously, wtf is ur problem with the decision? You sound like an idiot and unless ur the guy who originally suggested RealID to blizz I don't see why you even care?
I wrote a song once.

Yeah, it is not an interview if you just post what they sent to you
