What good reason do you have for this now exactly? You always point out how easy information is to find on somebody using google. Congradulations, if all that information is ALREADY on the internet regardless of RealID, why hasnt something happened to you already? Do you honestly thing that just because somebody knows your NAME that your going to become the target of stalkers, or identity theft or something else like that? If so, you've been reading 1 to many internet horror stories and should snap back to reality a bit.

YES things happen to people but its never just somebody going around saying, "Im going to stalk someone today, and now that i have access to names, its easy to pick who!". The simple act of giving people access to your NAME isn't going to be the end of the world or game as you people seem to think it is. People already have access to your name from google and EVERYTHING about you in some cases, and RealID isnt going to make a difference. Does RealID post anything besides your name?

The people saying just have a name does nothing is true. You can blame the government and whoever else posted all that about you on the internet for everyone to see, and that has nothing to do with blizzard. Blizzard has does nothing to affect your privacy since its already gone to begin with, and with as little faith in the human race i have, i apparently have a lot more faith in it then most of you doomsayers.
