hah blizztard corp so fucking lame, joining the ranks of other communist regimes.
No doubt they are using this to scare away the concerned customers who don't like to put with up shit and will express their opinions on such matters openly.
This is for the benefit of blizztard and its collective audience of supporting gullible idiots with fragile minds who will go along with this war against what little privacy and anonymity they all have left on the internet.

Noobs have no idea  
The road to hell is paved with maliciously good intentions ....and the inevitable victims that will fall from it. 
Will that make a better community? Or an even more falsely secure group collective idiots that deserve everything that comes from what they support. |

| My major dislike about using real names on a publicly accessible forum or site such as is this is privacy. You can glean information just from knowing someone's full name. I'm not worried about troll posts as much as harassment and possible real life social implications including work/job. Employers might be able to track what games you play and partly base a hiring a decision on what games you play. |

Then you get phone number, address, social security number, and finally bank account details... Maybe they are affiliated with the mafia - and they get a nice tax-free cut from every theft made...
But. Where would they get the real names in the first place? |
