Well, I mean there are a lot of JEdwards and I’m pretty sure Blizzard has advised people to not make their battle tag their first name, unless it’s real id. But I get what you’re trying to say and you do have an extremely valid point.
I agree with this, WoW was a very huge game at one point and a ton of non-tech savvy people have played it. The solution is obvious: give people a chance to change their battletag so they don’t make posts under their name or whatever.
i mean honestly most of you spend enough time here in the first place and done know who does what it’s pretty simple to just ignore the posts and the op is constantly putting threads up you know spam trolling whatever you wanna call it but ya. most the posts here are garbage anyway ain’t even about the game cause the ones that truly are sit with no responses besides the clickbait titles people use. i always put worthless stuff up about draenei’s why would i consider even talking about the game cause most of you in this thread have little interest and always mixed up in the true trolly threads.
I’m not spamming trolling? I’m just putting my thoughts out there, I only made this title because it’s sort of a hot topic that and I was a bit bored. I’m just saying, something sort of needs to be done after the stuff I heard today and yesterday. In fact, I haven’t made that many threads recently, I’ve probably made one or two everyday. Besides, I have made game posts, but okay.
This has only been suggested a half million times and a lot of people agree about having a unique identifier for forum posting. I think it would be a good idea too, but it seems to be low on the totem pole for happening.
(Please note: I agree with making people use a unique identifier and NOT their actual names. You can have unique forum IDs without using RL names.)
Yeah… because it seems like a HUGELY good idea to put in any of your passwords to anything on some random website so that people now know it’s a password of yours…
Best solution I’ve come up with is to have a global name you can select to go by. Not Bnet, not RealID, but some new username that everyone sees no matter what character your on on the forums.
Agreed. Its how Blizz handles their other forums anyway. Being able to post as a character offers very little value here, and introduces multiple problems.
Granted, I’m probably biased since this is a forum alt sharing the name with my Btag anyway.
If they can have us post via Btag and still somehow designate a character for the sake of opening the armory, that’d be ideal, but honestly I’d be down for btag even if thats not possible. Most times people want to look at someone’s armory its to identify a troll (btag largely does this on its own) or gatekeep feedback (which is occasionally realistic, but mostly just bullcrap).
