Dear Blizzard, billzrd, Biizzard and all other blizzard accounts that keep mailing me ingame giving me prizes that I never seem to get...

If you do go forth with your plan to make my friends be able to see my real name... I may be upset ALSO it will kill our economy heres why....

The first thing that will happen is that our friends will be able to see our REAL LIFE NAMES (NOT OUR INGAME NAMES BUT OUR REAL LIFE ONES) (Mine just so happens to be Tekkno ingame and in real life, so im lucky) but the next thing that will happen is our friends will whisper us ingame and instead of saying "Hey there [ingame namehere]" they will say "Hey there [real life name here" and it will just be awkward, especially if its that friend that you dont really like, but do it because he has no other friends and you feel bad.

Step 2 in your plan is THIS:
your friends ingame will add you on FACEBOOK and they will see real pictures of you (Luckily I'm a model IRL) (So what if its a model for Target and Wal-Mart underwear I still get paid) but what about those less fortunate than I when it comes to looks and wit? (ie most of the people on this forum)

Step 3: You will be forced to either get plastic surgery IRL or post a fake picture on your facebook because odds have it that a girl will eventually add you on facebook, and she will be 18/f/cali and luv2surf!!!! So all the players will make facebook accounts on facebook with FAKE PICTURES (As in not real, just fake)

Step 4: The girl will want to E-Date said good looking male.
Step 5: The girl will eventually find out the male is ugly and dump him
Step 6: The male will commit suicide. Causing a decrease in the Quantity Demanded of Cheese. And with the price of cheese going up why would anyone in their right mind buy crackers? or toast? or cheeseburgers.

So blizzard, what you REALLY have to ask yourself when you release this "REAL ID" system (Or as I like to call it "REAL ID") are you ready to buy all of those unpurchased cheeseburgers, cheese buns, crackers and toast? Or are you going to live with the burden of knowing that you caused hundreds of mexican cheese farmers to lose their jobs? Could you really live with that?
