I mean, can you really make this claim when you aren’t exactly posting on your main?
not very often - you have a couple of people doing that from time to time but it is no big deal.
thats where it will go when you link your battle tag to the forums.
and everything your saying can be done now with no need to link your battle tag.
as i said before everything suggested can already be done without linking your battle tag.
there is no reason to like your battle tag to the forums unless you ant more server bans even in game.

100% speculation.
Blizzard already uses BattleTag for every other game title.

And again, for the third time now, I’m not suggesting having it be the Battle tag. Why aren’t you getting that?
One profile, you pick the profile name. Just like every other forum on the net.
Maybe it should if you can’t act appropriately.

Pick a character to use and be locked to it works until that character moves, gets renamed, or gets deleted.
It could be that too, but I feel like if you allow people to pick a name and stick with that, they can use avatars of their other characters, it just would never change the name. So they have the variety of showing off their mogs or whatever, but not able to pose as someone different to cause problems.
How is this different than battletag?
It isn’t lmao
Because it’s literally not using your battle tag. You just pick an account name you want to use. It doesn’t have to be the same name as your battle tag.
I still fail to see the difference. Both suggestions are names you picked for yourself.
You do this when you create your account. It’s the battletag.

People are concerned about people knowing their battle tag. You wouldn’t know someone’s battle tag if they pick a different name from it…
All the concerns I’ve seen about public battle tags are based on an incorrect understanding of how battletag communication works. Most of them are complaining about things that are not actually possible.

I know but it’s the best solution to ease paranoid minds. Let people pick a name, that is the name of their profile. They get one profile on the forums. It’d work like every other forum on the net. And on those forums you can usually pick from a variety of avatars. Sometimes even a signature.
All hail the only person who has never typoed something easy!

I was asked to pick one forum posting char. Period. Yes, I selected an alt so that my guild did not know I was an MVP and that nobody bothered me in game. I had to, because posting on char-server can lead to unwanted attention.
So, I picked an alt. And have been known by that alt since then on the forums. This is my forum persona and all my post history is attached, minus what the forum changes have done. I do have alts I CAN post on, and have done so as an example a few times, but only on context and with permission.
Your Battletag is linked to the forums for all other Blizzard games. They don’t suspend you in game when you get a forum suspension in say, Overwatch.
That is what your Btag is - a name you pick.

Of course, but like what was discussed, some people don’t want that on the forum. Blizz of course will know what account is linked to what. But an overall account name just for the forum doesn’t hurt anyone. Many games allow you to have a different forum account name than your game account name. You can just only have that profile. There are no alt forum profiles.
This is GD, are you surprised lol
