It is good to see that they acknowledged the feedback and reversed this decision.

At least Bashiok got his 15 minutes of fame, the poor guy.

publicity stunt? lol questionable.. but i guess they do listen to us from some of the patch changes (towards the end of phase 1)
or maybe they were embarassed by how much it made the news and all the angry comments from the articles lol
dont really care since ive only posted there once or twice for bug reports

This would work. Couldn't make a smurf wow toon or bnet 1.0 account and start trolling if it lists all your main aliases as well. But to be honest Blizzard provides a direct feedback option via e-mail, I'd say anyone with serious/quality feedback should use that option, this way you make SURE that someone at Blizzard sees it and isn't buried in the forums.

You can't blame Blizzard for trying to make their forums more productive and a better place to communicate about their games, but, clearly forced Real ID is the wrong way to go about it. My qualms about having my real name displayed are not about identity theft, or people finding out what I look like/my Facebook page (no I haven't integrated but who knows).

Quite simply my problem with the Real ID being forced was very basic, 1. You are forced to do something without any options otherwise and 2. Friends from other friend groups (i.e. casual gamer friends not hard-core gamer friends) would end up finding out you play SC2, or whatever game, be noob, and try to get you to teach them how to play. And if anyone I know is reading no offense to any of you, but I really do not get any benefit out of teaching a lesser player (other than some gratification I taught someone something and it stuck).

They tried.
Kotick personally wants Bnet to be a social network.
They will not leave it at that.

Their intentions are good, forums with less trolls and better mannered posters I'm all for it. This realid debacle was just not the way to do it. Being able to rate posts instead is a much better way to do it cos more or less everyone is eachothers moderator. Hopefully they still tie in the actual account with the forums so people will still try and not be such assholes since getting banned will result in you also losing the right to play the game etc. One can hope anyways.
Do you really want chat rooms?

While it's awesome that they did eventually concede, I don't think that this is necessarily a sign of better things in the future. It's not like media will give a shit about any of the other complaints

We believe that the powerful communications functionality enabled by Real ID, such as cross-game and cross-realm chat,

Eh? Is this new or have I just had my head in the sand? Cross-Realm chat would only make sense if they were to include Cross-Realm play at some point.
it's my first day
