I don't think I would, actually.

The argument isn't wether people would care or not, it's if they should force it upon people to try and solve their forum problems. It's like having a giant gushing oil well pumping thousands of gallons a day into the gulf, and putting some fucking golf balls into it and calling it fixed. Trolls will never die, trying to deter them only makes it worse. Just embrace it, add some staff members to troll the trolls, problem solved.

I 'unno... the only people that would be so persistent just to play there WoW'z either are trolls or need to be trolled.

I would stop playing their games (or using whatever service they're exposing my personal information on,) but that's beside the point. I don't think "ability to play anonymously" could be listed as a "perk" or anything like that. Most games are like that. It isn't as if that's something special to Blizzard's games, as your post implied.

But if it were required, as had been mentioned in this thread's creation, it would be a deterrent. Maybe my statement was too inflated, but it's not besides the point. That is the entire point. In fact, that point was made so clearly by the Blizzard "community" that only a few days after the announcement they back-peddled into submission.

Blizzard: lulz, we gonna have visible names now, 'k?

All of it: No.

Blizzard: :(
