Just because you have the decision not to use it, that doesn't make it a good idea. What are your arguments FOR this idea OTHER than "you don't have to use it"?
I'm not saying I'm either for or against it. I'm responding to all the whining.
As you yourself put, 'it doesn't affect me'.
I agree you should be able to opt out if your one of the people who doesnt want your information to be shown, but im pretty sure alot less than 99.9% of wow players care xD
Fair enough, i respect your opinions.
It's not only this change, this is just the start. You wait and see Kotick milk Battle.net for all it's worth.
Yet people will already link their wow accounts and facebook, levels of stupidity boggle the mind on both parts of client and developer.
...I think Blizz should take this list of names, and title it, the "Mandatory 2011 Euthanasia List". Would solve a lot of problems!
Seriously though, gamers use Nicknames and Alias's because they don't want to be found. Imagine if you had to play CS:S with your real name, or BF2... People take both of these games way too seriously at times, and when they can (and you all know they can) find your address, phone number, and more with a simple google search, you might start to feel uneasy...
Then again, they could just do the smart thing, and NEVER USE THEIR REAL NAME ON THE INTERNET. That would also work.

Seriously though,
this idea is meh, and DK for once has a good point; although most of my ArmA II platoon call me 'Kelly' now (it's my last name if you didn't know), I wouldn't want to be popularly known as any of my real names on a game like EVE or CSS, where people do take stuff seriously (even more so on EVE, if for once I actually did get a kill on something big, that person would generally be pissed.)
If you want to post on the forum, you have to.Quote:

You'd have thought so wouldn't you.Quote:
