Exposing peoples real identity on the internet
v3.3.5
Me too!
Silly idea Blizzard. I’m going to continue not using the forums.
Those outraged should consider the risk they take using websites such as Facebook, on which they expose real information about themselves by choice.
Official game forums are always a pointless place to post unless your really, really desperate IMHO. Perhaps if you need technical help or something they are useful, otherwise in-game strategy information and similar are much better hosted on a third-party website where there is no misplaced expectation that game makers will contribute to the conversation.
People seem to mistakenly think they are there for two-way communication between the game makers and their customers. They are actually just a tool for giving the impression that the game makers/managers are in some way responsive to their customers.
Perhaps a bit harsh I know, but its my experience over the last twenty years of using them.
Gobble gobble.
