Not everyone that plays this game can work…there are those of us that are Disabled and live on a tight budget…I am one of them…Disabled Navy Veteran and I only had my VA Disability pension to live on till I finally got a smart phone though the State of Florida …before I got the smart phone I used a keyfob Authenticator for my account.

I’d see this if their authenticator didn’t suck. It does not take in non us numbers. add ons were fine here…

I have one of these. American living abroad.

DO you not have a phone?

I got 3 phones in the house blizzard dude. all start with 011 for japan. Make that webmaster recognize more than 1 country code (1 for US)…and we are good here.

Kid wants to play the COD F2p but can’t. its uses authenticator by phone only. NA only takes country code 1 for the US. Blizzard’s loss there. Kids these days don’t want toys. They want game money lol. V bucks, bobux for roblox…this is what I buy me kid these days as that is what he wants.

Guess Imma have to buy a cellphone with wow gold now?

I’m assuming since you can get a prepaid smartphone for like 20 a month or less that qualifies then you can’t afford the 15 spent each month on wow. Not really rocket science.

I’ll not repeat what I wrote before but had you read it, you wouldn’t tell me this.

They have assistance programs that provide cell phones.

So my 14 year old kid needs to have a cellphone to play the game. What if I ground them and take away the cellphone for two weeks. What if they break it and I can’t afford to replace it for a few paychecks?

At least the app has emergency back up codes and things. The requiring a cellphone is troll.

Not everyone has income

People use gold for their subs

If you ground them wouldn’t they be off limits ok PC as well?

The time the spend farming gold they could be working. If you want to post custom text toe the line.

In a few days there will be spam all day everyday about “WHERES ARTIFACT SKINS!?”.

The price of preventing spam and boosters in LFG, oh well. Too bad for them. I’m 100% fine with it as are most.

You don’t know her situation though not everyone is capable of just working at a retail job or something

Some people are disabled as its been mentioned many times

Some people can’t get a job due to tending family first

Unless you are their significant other/family member you shouldn’t assume their income

Just wondering… did you follow the link and read it?

You still won’t need to do all of this to post a group.

You will need this if you “DON’T HAVE A KEYSTONE”, in addition to the current requirement for setting a custom title:

  • LFG_AUTHENTICATOR_BUTTON_MYTHIC_PLUS_TOOLTIP - You can’t post a Mythic+ group without a keystone until you secure your account with the Battle.net Authenticator and SMS Protect
  • GROUP_FINDER_AUTHENTICATOR_POPUP_DESC - Unlock full access to the group finder by attaching an Authenticator and SMS Protect to your account.|n|nThe Battle.net Authenticator is a free, easy-to-use service that protects your account from intruders, and SMS Protect notifies you when important changes are made to your account.Click “Activate” to launch the Authenticator setup website.
  • LFG_AUTHENTICATOR_BUTTON_TOOLTIP - You can’t edit this field until you secure your account with the Battle.net Authenticator and SMS Protect

Edit: Just so it’s clear, if you don’t have the authenticator or SMS, you can post a group ONLY if you have a key, and you will NOT be able to create a custom title.

If that is the case there are programs that assist with cell phones. What I’m saying is there really is no reason to throw a fit over the change.

Not everyone lives in the United States that can qualify for a free phone from the US government

Wouldn’t a small amount of income before being fired make more sense than none at all because you think they would fore you?

Then I guess they will just have to live without posting custom text for now.

LITERALLY UNPLAYABLE
