Isn't that more of a "you-problem" ??? I mean its not like your Facebook friends were randomly assigned to you or something. I liked the feature, even if it was a one-time use. It was an easy way to add a bunch of people at once.

It was a nice thing to have, I didn't use it but I can see why it would be used..oh well. Nothing that can be done about it really.

Why exactly is his fault ? Some people just want to play alone, or be able to have their own time for their own. So what you are saying is he should have to remove all his facebook friends just to be able to play stacraft 2 the way he wants to withouth having to give explanations to other people ?

This is not a good change.... Ofc nothing that Blizzard can do about it, but I don't understand why people passionately state that this was a good thing.

1) You don't need to add your FB friends if you don't want to...
2) If you do want to, you can add them very easily.

It's either nothing happens, or you win. But now, nothing happens.

Yes.... If you have a bunch of friends that you don't want to interact with, then you have some explaining to do. Even if it's just that you want your gamer life to be separate from your real life (which is pretty ridiculous, but everyone is entitled to their own wants and opinions), it's still your problem, and it's not hard for you to fix. It really is a "you-problem".

This wasn't a bad feature TBH. When I first started SC2 I added probably like 10-15 people who I didn't even know played blizzard games.

I tried using it several times but it never worked anyway.... Cool feature though.

Maybe interact with "while playing starcraft 2" is not clear enough for you ? And no, there is no explaining to do. You know, there are people who like to have "their own free alone time". You can go on with how ridiculous it is when it's just your opinion

I actually thought it was a decent feature. You didn't hvae to use it, but you could find out about other people you knew who played SC2 that otherwise, you'd have no idea that they did.

Everyone has their own free alone time and he's not saying that is the problem. The problem is when you put your alone time above playing with friends.

You are aware that you weren't forced to link your facebook account to your bnet account, right?

Why are some people saying this is a good change? The facebook automatic friend finder was fantastic in adding 50+ ppl I know onto battlenet and had no problems whatsoever. Now without it, i'll have to manually add ppl, which is fairly time consuming. Hopefully they implement it back in eventually

With respect...how is that a "problem"? Because if its a problem what you're basically saying here is having an introverted personality is a problem. Which is utterly ridiculous; some people get their energy from socialising and some get it from quiet time and solitary activities.

Trying to say people shouldn't take that time if they want to is akin to criticising someone for wanting to get some sleep when they're tired instead of staying up all night. Because they're putting their selfish need to rest above playing with their friends.

It was optional. I never understood why so many people were complaining about it at release. Dont use facebook? Dont like it? Dont use it. Very simple. I, like many others here, used it to add a number of friends at once. It was more convenient than figuring out which email address people used or asking their name and character code.

That said i cant say it will be missed all that much, i just dont understand why people continue to complain about it.

I never said I didn't want to interact with them at all. I just don't want to play Starcraft with them. Many of them are completely fine in social gatherings and to work with and such, but are sore losers when we game, or they are bronze and just want me to 4v4 with them all the time, etc. I prefer to game alone sometimes, and while I like some people in real life, I would prefer not to game with them

Like Godwrath said, I don't want to have to give explanations to people as to why I don't feel like gaming with them when you have 40 people that find you through the facebook finder. It could easily be fixed by including an option that allows you to be excluded from the facebook finder search.

That does exist. You don't need to link your fb account to your bnet account. If you never use your credentials to use the friend finder, then people won't be able to find you via the fb finder

Simple as that.
