There is something you need to know about how Blizzard uses their forums.
You can't get proper tech support from them in person. If you call, they direct you to the forums. If you petition in-game, they direct you to the forums.
So if you have a technical issue with the game not working? Latest patch won't install properly? What if you've tried everything and gone to these other private forums and they are stumped? Guess what? You have to sign in to use the forums, and then your ID is fair game with this RealID which has already proven hackable. At that point you have a choice. Run the risk or cancel your account and uninstall the game.
Maybe there's a way around it. But at this point, I'm not - and many people aren't - going to give Blizzard the benefit of the doubt. They've proven themselves not to care very much about their customers privacy and safety. They've proven that they are not willing to put the control of their customers private information in the customers own hands. It's an overall corporate policy which needs to be STOMPED FLAT by the customers as soon as possible.
If they reverse themselves on this, I'll warily think about hooking back up again. But I won't EVER trust that company fully again.
