I’ll keep using my old physical authenticator - I have a spare, just in case. Nope, don’t have a smart phone and have no desire to have one at this stage in my life.

I honestly don’t understand how people don’t have phones in late 2019.

LOL some of us are older than dirt and have flip phones instead of smart phones and we’re too old and broke to buy smart phones.

If you’re too old and broke to buy any standard, 6 year out of date cell phone how are you paying for your internet service and WoW sub?

It’s not a priority for me and my subs are paid for a year in advance. Have a good one.

Blizzard doesn’t make them. Go complain to whatever company makes them.
Okay, so you still pay the exorbitant price of internet access (assuming you have half-decent service, that is) but you can’t buy a $50 out of date phone to bother securing anything that you
?
Okay.
Only if you use a cell phone. I just have a land line, they sure aren’t going to provide me a free cell phone for which I have no use ? Or will they, seems bizarre they would anyway.

I think this is what I might have to do if they aren’t going to make them.

The government will. Just visit the popup booths outside every Walmart on Saturday or Sunday.

The US Government. It is a program put into place during the administration of Bush the 2nd.

So much this.
I live on the edge of nowhere. I do have a flip phone for when I travel, but I have absolutely no need (or use) for a smart phone. I’m happy that we finally got DSL a few years back and no longer need to use satellite internet.
Yes, I played WoW on satellite when I started. I laugh when folks complain about 300ms lag. (My good days on satellite were about 2.5k ms.)

You dont NEED world of warcraft to survive either…
Acting like blizzard is somehow in the wromg because they dont cater to every single person in the world.
“How am i supposed to secure my account if i live off the grid with no electricity or computer or wow account”
Fact is probably so few people use the actual authenticator they decided its not worth to keep making 
Either detatch authenticator from account or get a smart phone.

My brother had one of those phones for a while. They’re complete garbage.

i think only if you are on welfare. i think the obama phone program is still around, but other than that, no there is not free phone service. maybe in france or some other socialist country.
They are complete garbage, it’s why the feds subsidize them.
This is a pretty interesting article about what Gen Z is up to.
Can’t blame them, my niece was talking about going to maui and the only person who had their smart phone there was my sister. My mom jumped onto FB and there were ads for trips to maui popping up all over the place. 
I still use a ground phone to make calls if I want too. I do not own a cell phone of any kind because I simply don’t need. I do have an android tablet for Facebook, twitter etc.

Very few members of Gen-Z are playing WOW. They are playing Fortnight.
