So I am rarely on the forums, and when I am it just to ask about my class or to ask what wrong with the servers.

I recently just discovered Blizzard reversed their idea to add real ID to the forums because of community Feedback and people posting QQ threads about them quitting, leaving forums etc.

So my question is why was everyone so concerned about this? I mean honestly, who cares who knows your real name. I Know that on my server there are 8 other people with my name. Also in most guilds people call and answer to their first names becasue people all know each other.

On a side note, what is the worst thing someone can do knowing your real name??? Not being able to Troll the forums anymore >.> ZOMG QQ. So in closing let me give you all the reason why everyone who have been QQing for the past week were doing it for no reason.

1. What is knowing your real name gonna do?
2. No one can hack your account or steal credit card info by knowing your name.
3. Being a victim of identity fraud is ONLY possible if someone knows your SSN.
4. BLIZZARD has a right to do anything they want with their content and website. If you don't like it then leave and don't tell anyone about it becasue WE DONT CARE!
