For every whiner that claims they are going to quit the forums because they can't remain anonymous I bet there will be 2 people of greater intelligence who will use them more productively.
To those people who say that WoW is an escape from real life, or to those people that don't want employers finding out they play WoW: This is a step towards making gaming more of an acceptable hobby, like a sport for example. Golf, running, soccer tennis etc. are all escapes from real life too and you don't have to hide that fact that you play them. Also, perhaps if you excel at some aspect of a game, it could be something you can share, or brag about with more people - or even use on a resume (depending on the job). For example, wouldn't Landsoul's Warrior DPS spreadsheet be nice for his resume?
To all those people that say "Blizzard is FORCING me to reveal my name": They aren't, just don't post on the forums. If you need to spew your brainless remarks and remain anonymous then go to a fan site.
To those people that think that 1400+ page cry fest is an accurate gauge for the majority of the people playing on WoW - it's not. I wouldn't be surprised if those pages contain less than 1% of the WoW community.
I for one, and I know many others, don't post on these forums because of the total garbage responses you get from people hiding behind the internet curtain of anonymousness.
Best change in awhile, cheers Blizz.
