Convert Forum to BattleTag

Community General Discussion
1

The RealID thread is a meme. Blizzard has already tried that and it is too invasive.

Blizzard already has BattleTags developed and would be the perfect fit for Forum use. Each account would get one BattleTag regardless of toon. Post counts would remain the same while you switch mains, as will tiered benefits.

BattleTag does not display any personal information unlike RealID. It would also prevent players from getting unwanted whispers or mail in-game. Anyone can add another “playername-server” to their friends list and start whispering them without consent. Using BattleTag would require them to add you back before they can interact with you.

It would also cut down on forum troll alts or people talking to themselves.

Hey hey, calm down, Rita2. No need to be so rude like usual. I saw you at MG Goldshire last week! If you don’t stop being rude on the forums, I’m going to tell everyone about what your ERP3 profile says!

Again No we already have a set up on the forums besides it is linked to your battle net account any way.

I agree with Vincent. This is a bad idea.

It’s not the same as BattleTag. I can easily exploit and report you with 5 alts and get you instant hidden. Most likely it will be un-hidden. But people do report on multiple toons maliciously.

Aside from Vincent being, quite obviously, right again, as he always is.

I have to say that this is a bad idea.
