Suck it up. These two sum it up for me. It's annoying because I don't know who I'm playing, but on the flip side it's completely respectable because there is no other way to go anonymous. | ||

Everyone could just use one name together, like "john" or something, and it'd have the same effect, as long as they all used the same name, right? | ||

It's a very primeval response from the neanderthals which cannot understand the concept of respect for fellow people. Everyone likes to talk shit but no one likes to apologise. They act it's impossible that their opponent is a real pro or what not and flame the fuck out of them. What if they were a pro? There's just no respect at all for your fellow opponent. Heck I remember the day Stephano destroyed the NA ladder and all his opponents simply went 'you WISH you were the real stephano noob' And you wonder why people WANT to be anonymous in this game. | ||

I'm glad there is that option for players though. They should be able to remain anonymous if they so choose to help with their practice. | ||

It's completely understandable why people use it. As someone who isn't a pro, I personally give the lowest amount of fuck humanly possible what account names pro players are using to ladder with. | ||

only thing that pisses me off is when i see these diamond leaguer or low master leaguers i play against and they have it it's like what the fuck man why just why On September 04 2012 10:18 WillS wrote: Isn't it funny that these things seem to have come around when the kespa players joined the scene? All that time that the pro players were wondering about this problem and it only comes into fruition then. I really hope that this isnt the case. are you talking about kespa players being smart enough to come up with this idea to hide their builds? not the case, doing something like this would require ~60+ people all at once to do it otherwise if there's 5-8 terrans who have a barcode you just look at their keybindings and figure out who's who if its done en masse well good luck, coincidently thats a number Kespa teams can easily manage all in one go. | ||

P.S. The only thing I think everyone can agree on is that if you are not a pro player, there's no reason to have it. Diamonds and plats who want to remain anonymous "so that nobody steals their strats" bother me... i dont get this, its a gamer tag people use names they like theres no reason for them to use a barcode but theres no reason for them not to either | ||

You can have multiple accounts/users with the same name in SC2, so there's no reason to have different combinations of 'i's and 'l's. At the least they should lean towards a standardized name like "AAAAAAAAAAA", "GLHF", "Anonymous", "llllllllll", (or an existing one like "ESPORTS", "Zerg") or something else, which will offer optimum privacy. Actually, to make things easier, maybe Blizzard should just add a privacy option for battle.net to to which if you enable it, your name becomes something like "Anonymous" On September 04 2012 10:08 acrimoneyius wrote: Regardless of the anonymity, this is a great way to show Blizzard how stupid it is to not have truly unique ID's. Everyone should be a bar code...YEAH!... Not at all. The whole origin of barcode names is from when unique names did/do exist, hence people had to come up with various IDs which would look the same, even though they were different. | ||
