I mean really, it’s not the end of the world. People should be protecting their accounts. Four extra bag slots to be filled with bear asses and other assorted junk you’ll sell anyway doesn’t really make the difference that, say, 10 bag slots would make.

I’m not fussed. Bag slots are useful. They are a limiter on a fresh roll, but one so hated by the community that we routinely give lowbies 12 and 14 slot bags and a couple gold just so they don’t have to live through it too. If you want to hardcore it, just don’t take the help and don’t use the slots or take off your authenticator. (Kidding: please keep your authenticator, your hacked account is fated to be a bot in Thousand Needles.)

Blizz has done everything to bury the game so who cares at this point and I cant wait to clear naxx to unsub. No way I’m playing TBC in the Clownfiesta, im going back to the underground.

Didnt clear Naxx in Vanilla so I’m back for revenge. I would have left at launch with layers if it wasnt for that fact.
I’m not mad about this at all.
Everyone should have an authenticator anyway.

It’s really hard for bots to use two factor authentication, so I’m assuming it’s a way for them to filter out a lot of the population when looking for bots.

It is a way to sell authenticators…
Nothing is free either, so if you use the free verison of authentication, what other information are they collecting they can make a profit off?
Nope, it must be the goodness of their hearts.
I’m not here for the authenticator app conspiracy theory. It’s not “free” they save money by not having to deal with our hacked accounts. They don’t need to sell data.

Just curious, do you remember “real id” or whatever that blizz implimented so your actual personal information was available to anyone who friended you in game?
I am sure that was for the benefit of the player too!!

My actual personal information? Like the email address I used to sign up for my sub?
you mean those things that were mostly inconspicuous, solved a massive problem so servers are not dead right now and had negligible if any damage to the economy?

I’m not “totally furious”. It doesn’t get much rise out of me at all.
I am disappointed because it feels like just one more shifting of the goal posts of WOW Classic being an authentic vanilla experience. I am leery, feeling some dread, that this represents a fuzzy “well, it’s okay in this case because ___” thinking that can be stretched to accommodate other non-vanilla additions.
Especially because this is something they could have done day 1, so adding it a year in feels suspiciously like testing the waters of how much they can get away with.
I quit playing WOW in early MoP, but it had been a death by 1000 cuts, little things here and there which were never quite enough to make me stop, changes that I didn’t like but accepted as inevitable.

Your full legal name and location yes.
The mobile authenticator is free…
Are you implying that blizz implemented “real id” in battlenet to use the information that they already had from when you created your account for some nefarious purpose? And not just to make it easier for friends to know who was who? Also I’m pretty sure they don’t even sell actual authenticators anymore.

You mean the real ID feature where you could add someone as a friend, but if you wanted their real name you had to request it from them and they had to approve it? Because otherwise it just showed your btag?
