Battle.net Facebook Integration

[Seregon]

Zuckerface is not big on getting "permission" to share all your information with every goddamn website you visit. If you haven't individually unchecked a whole bunch of checkboxes, and continue to uncheck them every time they add more, then every advertising firm on the planet probably knows more about you than any of your friends do.

The press release says it will "offer" integration between Facebook and Battle.net. I'm guessing the word "offer" implies choice.

NO I DO NOT WANT this stupid blizzard!
Remember the time someone found out my RL info and posted it in trade? How dare you spit in my face and make it easier for people to get my information!
Curses!

Then don't integrate your account with Facebook. Where's the problem again?

I don't even have a Facebook account. And look, I still exist. ;D

Yes, and it's a choice that 90% of Facebook/WoW users will make without really thinking about the consequences.

I also wouldn't be surprised if they put little "Fb" buttons all over the place so that you'll be tempted to accidentally click on them. They do that for every other news/networking website. They were even talking about having it automatically opt-in, forcing you to opt-out from some arcane set of checkboxes deep in your privacy settings.

The only definitive feature listed is the ability to import friends, I don't get all the paranoia over nothing.

I am laughing my ass off. :'D

The only thing is, Blizz has stated that they will be fixing up BN so you can see when your friends are on, even in another game.

What's to say they won't be doing it by using Facebook as the delivery method, requiring a FB account to access the cross-game friends feature? (I'm not saying they WILL, or that I even THINK they will. It's just a possibility, and only a random thought I had.)

Optional Facebook integration is clearly the end of WoW.

In fact, it's the end of all life. Everywhere. Plants too.

I agree with most of what GC says on healing but this was funny:

Rejuv and Wild Growth are two of them, but so are Circle of Healing, Power Word: Shield, Holy Light, Flash of Light and others.

Anyone find it amusing that he lists both Paladin healing spells? Considering Paladins only really have 2 healing spells this might point to a reason why they are overused and spammed ;-) lol.

[Eversor]

Why Blizzard? One shitty community not enough for ya, wanna spread the rot further?

[Racia]

Im so god damn tired of hearing everything being migrated into facebook! FJUCEEKAY Facebook!

[Sanic]

Omg, another reason I can't wait for b.net integration

I wants this nows.

I know, I was being sarcastic. I'm sure someone will find a way to twist this into being the end of WoW. They always do.

Aaahh it's so true.

Lol at you being the first person who cares.

Sounds like a load of complaining over something you didn't read correctly. You won't be able to look at people's Battle.net accounts and add them or view their Facebook profile. However, you'll be able to see which of your CURRENT Facebook friends have a battle.net account and then add them. It takes away the asking of FRIENDS and just lets you know who among you play Blizzard games.

To be honest, I wish Xbox Live and PlayStation Network had similar functions. Now stop you whining over trivial changes! ;D

[Tvajumat]

oh farewell fast play style, hello boring healing

[Boombataa]

It wouldn't be a blue post without more Druid and Warrior comments. ;D

Seems so yes, why they feel the need to feed the Warrior trolling community each time i have no idea ???
