Extra Authenticator bag slots

So, how do ya’ll feel about this nonsense? For me, I just don’t understand why Blizzard can’t sit on their hands when it comes to “improving customer experience”-- particularly within the context of Classic. This game launched precisely because the player base hates the millimetres or inches worth of “improvements” that brought retail to the steaming pile that it is today. I’m uninstalling Classic and removing my subscription.

I think the bag slots are awesome. All the Warriors in my guild were very happy last night.

I personally don’t mind. Quality of life changes don’t bother me as much as maybe changing, removing, or adding entire abilities in the hopes of “balance”.
An example would be adding taunt to Pallies in the hopes of balancing them as a tank class.

Prepare for a flood of “no one will miss you” and you’ll be back tomorrow"s

What I don’t understand is why blizzard felt it necessary to bribe people into better securing their own account. They could have just said “hey account theft and hacking is a significant problem, and directly contributes to the botting and gold selling problems, so we’ve beefed up account security, sign up for the authenticator if you want to keep playing.”

I’m fine with the authenticator and I’m fine with free bag space, but I don’t get why blizzard didn’t just force the authenticators.

I don’t like the fact that it requires both the physical and phone authenticators for only 4 extra bag slots, in my Backpack.

Wait, you must have both? It cant’ be either? That does not make sense.

You clearly have very little experience with humankind

No. You don’t need the physical keyfob authenticator (I don’t think these are even being made now) if you have the mobile authenticator.

You need the authenticator and Blizzard Phone Notifications enabled to get the bag slots.

I dont think I’m a minority in saying any QoL improvements to classic are welcomed.

I think the “dont change anything” crowd is MUCH smaller than some want to admit.

Lol truly, we’re the absolute worst

Yeah guess I read that wrong. Either way, I have the physical authenticator. Dunno why we need something with the phone, as well.

EDIT: I’m not sure if it has to be the phone one or not. On top of the phone notifications. Either way, I don’t like it. I’ve had the physical authenticator, for years.

I’ll take a minor QoL update. Thanks Blizz!

Not really a fan of changes, but I’m surprised this is the one that knocked you out of classic. GL.

Then you don’t understand human beings.

They didn’t force it because the #NoChangesIncludingAuthenticators crowd would leave. Yes, bunches of #NoChange are that Looney Toomey, and others understand that the mantra should have always been, “As Vanilla as Orcishly Possible.”

How stupid do you have to be to have your account compromised?

It’s a small QoL addition that also helps people keep their accounts secure. Its a win win, and theres not a single negative to it. If you think its a ‘bad’ thing, you probably shouldn’t interact with others on an MMO.
