Do you think you are the first people to try arguing this? Try something like the hundreds or thousands here alone even.
I don’t know why your physical authenticator doesn’t work. Mine does I can tell you that. I’m planning to switch to the digital after the new year when I’ll be upgrading my phone so there is no potential risk of anything going awry between the 2 phones and now and then.
Either way, none of your problems does affect me and you only have yourself to blame. I 100% agree that it could be implemented better, but I find absolutely no fault with Blizzard being more aggressive with “forcing” people to setup and maintain this level of protection for their account. If anything, I wouldn’t be surprised and would fully support them making it a condition even to have an active subscription past the free trial.
Also again, you can make groups with the default text the game gives you and YOU are the one limiting yourself if you only want to play with a certain class/spec. You aren’t being barred from accessing an actual feature of the game which is what you are trying to make it out to be.
Not agreeing with you does not mean one is trolling and like I said prior, I’d actually support Blizzard reversing the mandate but taking a much harsher stance on morons not protecting their account
