I have had a row with a close friend of mine about Blizzards latest Real ID move, in using real names.
Please forgive me for being rather... frayed with you about this.

They share nothing else but your name with anyone else, at any time.

There is NOTHING harmful people can do with this. Nothing at all

They all exist, have I just violated their privacy and compromised their security in any way at all? Of course not. What can be done with that? Name one thing with just a name you can do? You are PERFECTLY SAFE!
If it really does bother you that much. I'm sure you can change your name on your account, and compremise someone else's security by using a fake name.

This is a great new integrated tool, that will really show it's helpfulness when new games and out-of-game apps start evolving.
Please, dont crap on it and make it a joke before it even has a chance to bloom. It's backward, it's phobic, it has no place in here. Go and play Ludo or something.
