Saying you don’t need an authenticator because you’re careful with your password makes about as much sense as saying you don’t need to wear a seatbelt because you’re such a good driver. Newsflash: You don’t exist in a void, there are plenty of other factors well outside your control that you should protect yourself agaist.
Bigger companies than Blizzard have security breaches on the regular. It doesn’t matter how careful YOU are, the company you’re doing business with is still a point of failure, and refusal to take advantage of 2FA just makes you even more vulnerable in the case of a breach. No company is infallible or immune to data breaches (and you would be surprised at how many companies themselves are careless with or cut corners on security) so refusal to get a token because “you’re careful” just makes you sound painfully naive.

That has nothing to do with not having an authenticator lol. Accounts don’t get hacked for the gear, they get hacked so they can generate revenue for the hacker via botting.
Hacking somebody just to take their stuff is so 2005. Game account authenticators are a good idea.
You act like a video game you need a lock lol you dont
Im a cop police officer i this is a game nothing more . Its not a bank or your home are people this brainwashed
There are only two types of people that would be willing to die on the mountain of the new authenticator requirement.
Those who were breaking the rules beforehand and now this impedes them
Those who are conspiracy nutjobs and should never be taken seriously (I’m betting your this one)

I came home from a play to find my priest naked with all her gear sharded back in Wrath.
So yeah having an authenticator is nice. Literally just added mine to the game 3 minutes ago.

If you care about your account enough to not want it getting hacked, you do.

What if you tie your account to a phone then your phone break or you lose your phone?
With 0% customer support getting your account back is unlikely.
