Battle.net + Facebook = Very Bad Idea

Blizzard,

I can appreciate that you want to make things more accessible to folks, and jump on the Facebook bandwagon like lots of other companies, but for the love of all that is holy, please reconsider. Look, you already have an issue with hacked accounts and linking with one of the biggest computer infection vectors is just asking for trouble


EDIT: For those posting.. "its optional", yes I do know that. However, there will be people who do link them, that get infected, and cause more work for the GMs and CSMs and that means less time to deal with actual problems rather than people who do not understand basic computer security. While I know anyone can get hacked, there are those who seem to invite trouble by not taking precautions and I am simply asking Blizzard to reconsider allowing the bad guys yet another attack vector and increasing their workload.
