If you don't like this you would've hated Arcades back in the 90s. Everyone hiding behind the almighty AAA.
Truth is, using barcodes is a simple solution to a real problem for pro players, and if lower league players do it and are BM'ing the ladder, you can still report them like a normal account. I don't find barcodes particularly annoying and it doesn't really affect my game experience in any way.
It's a cool idea what the OP is suggesting, because it would allow "cleaner" leaderboards, but I like it more so a pro player can play some anonymous person just to find at the end that he was beaten by Jaedong or whatever, it's a cool concept.

I appreciate your response!

I remember a long time ago in SC : BW ladder there were still barcoders, it actually became such an issue with the II ll ||| ll II combinations of L , I and the symbol , | , and that was the reason that Blizzard decided to get rid of symbols in usernames in SC1, I wonder if they will ever do something to prevent barcodes as well, this is a good suggestion, we will just have to see what pans out.

everyone would turn your suggestions off. Im no way near gm but even for my clasn inhouse things id turn it off .. .then go on some bm spree with my name hidden . . if that ever got introduced you will see them unchecked for 98% of anyone who cares. the barcode i think is a nice clever way you can imagine ur playing a scarlett or Flash or <insert top guy here> and if u have them on ur friends list and they are offline . .the hype becomes REAL!

You know that people report hackers/cheaters all day every day and Bliz does nothing about it right?

This is what I do. Everytime a korean player streams on KR, i search their barcode by rank and set them a note. Currently have almost 70 barcodes added :D
But seriously this seems like a great idea even though most progamers might disagree

Could you release some of your findings? Really curious now you mentioned it

I'd like to see character codes on the loading screen. Then I'd know if I play the same guy 4 times in a row or not.

Are you talking about me? I don't think its nice to reveal a progamer's identity. I just use them to copy builds

There is enough evidence that can reveal if you're playing the same person multiple times like Portrait, Level, # of I's and l's, and race, as well as checking their match history post-game.
Idk, bar coding seems legit for GM's who are hiding strats, but I always laugh and ask people in Plat/Dia that barcode because what is the point? You aren't hiding anything of worth and you're effectively restricting yourself from having an identity on battle net.

Fair enough, I shall have to resort to base conjecture as to who is who on the Kr ladder :p

As you said it can reveal. It might just not which is quite unfortunate. Not knowing who I play against is one thing. Not knowing who I play against while the other guy knows me sucks. Well, I guess in this case I could barcode it up but if everyone does this then the whole ladder becomes faceless and, I feel, boring.

its such a simple fix. you dont know who you are playing unless they turn on "show name" and the leaderboards are always peoples real ID's and u cant click on them to find out any BOs or anything unless they have "show match history" on
