It could easily be fixed by including an option that allows you to be excluded from the facebook finder search.
You have to opt into the FB finder.... there's no need to make yourself excluded. You are by default.

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.
I don't think that doesn't exist. I mentioned an option that opts you out of the facebook finder search. As in I can use my account to add people from facebook (that come up in the search results, they can opt out of being searched as well) but if they use theirs I don't come up in the search. A 1-way visibility kind of like how you can appear offline in Skype or other applications.

I don't recall opting in to be included, but would still receive requests from it.
edit: unless that is how it was and I was just missing something? I just remember it being an everything or nothing option.

How are you going to receive requests unless you entered you FB info? How can other people find you if your SC2 acct isn't linked to your FB?
Unless you're saying that you want to be able to use it to see other people but have an "exclude myself" option? That's overly picky. I can understand your viewpoint if that's so, but in no way would I ever fault Blizzard for not making it an option.

Yes that is what I am referring to. I wouldn't say it's overly picky; like I mentioned, it would basically be the same function as appearing offline in a social messenger which has been around for ages. I'm not saying it has been a big problem or anything, that's just my opinion on the function. I would consider it pretty far down the priority list for Blizzard, but that's what these discussion/feedback threads are for right?

It sure is. Are you implying that it should be somewhere else?
It is a change to the SC2 client and completely unrelated to strategy or tournaments, I don't see a more fitting sub-forum.

What does Battle.net 2.0 have going for it now?
|
Oh no. Terrible, terrible news for battlenet 2.0
|
It allowed me to reconnect with friends that I hadn't talked to in a long ass time. IE, people I added on fb that I knew in high school, but have moved away and we hadn't really kept in touch. And BOOM we were playing video games together. It was awesome. Great feature, will be missed.
