I shall go around and follow your example in other threads. you should, it doesn't affect the experience when laddering or anything. just do you, why does it matter if they have a barcode as their name. if they like it then let them like it. just because my opinion doesn't line up with yours doesn't make me a bad poster. | ||

I think people have deeper psychological problems if a anonymous barcode name makes you angry, or you feel its "obnoxious" I think you need to look up what that word means op, simply wanting to be anonymous is not obnoxious at all. | ||

It's more of a HANDS OFF OUR SACRED BARCODES and aggressive posting from those who disagree with the OP, those who like the idea he put forward are pretty relaxed about the whole thing. It's just, STUPID. It's nothing game-breaking, it's no big deal to have a bunch of ||||||||| instead of 'Blazeit420's' on ladder, but you know what, hey I think barcodes just look stupid, I think seeing barcodes in my Platinum league looks stupid. Big deal, it doesn't even particularly bother me, if there's a better system I show agreement with a system I view as better, namely the OPs It's one of the most bizarre situations I've seen in the forum in months. I can't understand it. It's like people (who probably don't even use barcodes) are being suggested to have their testicles removed - so they come straight in with their sword drawn and unable to read the 30 odd posts before theirs that respond to their "MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY" post before they make it.

The irony that you think SC2 is in a bad state because people are offering constructive discussion about a possible way to improve the game, whilst you come here with your close-minded and antagonizing mentality is comical. | ||

We aren't arguing that people shouldn't be allowed to have a fucking barcode name. We are just saying we would like to give pro players an easier (and cheaper) means to hide their identity during ladder matches, but still have their god damn mother fucking name seen on rankings. How fucking hard is it to understand? And Lightspectre, I don't know who is top 5 KR GM, but chances are one of them is barcode. | ||

Maybe it'll catch someone's eye People should be getting warned for blatantly not reading the OP never mind any part of the thread. Like I said, it's not a big deal, can it be done better? I'd say yes is all. Go look at the Kr ladder, it's hard to spot any recognisable names on there. Pros are just protecting their practice and barcoding is the best solution for them, but if they could keep their IDs and have their match history and ID in-game hidden I imagine they'd be happy going for that, with the small added bonus that the fans can actually keep track of who is tearing it up on ladder | ||

I usually look at my opponents match history (game length, build orders, etc,) for a few minutes before starting the match, as do the other players there... so yes it can matter. And this is reasonable? How about other situation: You dont play against him but you can see his/her match history. I am sure that many many people are looking (abnormally) the histories from GM players, that why we need a option to disable match history. | ||

I appreciate your input and your solution works for the problem you have described. However, the situation at hand isn't viewed negatively by most players. Most players, me included, really don't care who we're #facemelting on ladder. We have begged for more stats and more player info for years. We like being able to look up build orders and match history. It's give and take. They gave us a name change every season so ppl could just hide themselves anyway they please. I think things have came a long way and I'm pretty satisfied with the system in place. | ||

I'd say read the post again... You really don't seem to understand what is being proposed. His new privacy options would eliminate the need for progamers to use an alias to hide their identity, as there would be an inherent option within the settings to do so. Of course individuals would still be free to use an alias if they wanted to, but such a system would be redundant in what is being proposed. | ||
