Real Names on Official Forums cancelled

[Slayer-33]

buncha babies!

Oh shut the hell up. Be my guest and start posting your real name all over the place, go ahead make up the name if you have to. But officially on the WoW forums for millions to SEE? LOL.

[Sheperd]

Blizz is a epic troll

You have to think again if you believe that when you are pitted against another qualified potential canditate who, as opposed to you, has a clean record without gaming history you will get the job over him.

You have to face corporate reality at some point in your life my friend.

"clean record without a gaming history". LOL.

I work for a corporation. Having Internet knowledge and hobbies aren't something that exclude you from selections.

Sorry to burst your delicate bubble, but again you obviously have no clue how anything works and are still talking out your ass based on sensationalized news instead of having any sort of experience on the subject.

And every "big boss" you've worked with would love it if most of his employees or god forbid himself were linked to an MMO wouldn't he? Sure sure. When a potential client googles your company and comes across posts on an MMO forum that does indeed make your company look much much better.

OH LORDIE GOD NO! A COMPANY LINKED TO A VIDJA MAGAME? OH, LORDY LORD!

Go back to the Official Forum now. Please, God, just go. I'm so sick of you people, your whining, and your constant spam on this shit.

Congrats to all the crying teenagers out there..

I wish there was a way to punish you all for being extremly stupid at times.. Honestly.. Ive never been more ashamed and dissapointed in my fellow gamers than now..

This is a sad day for people out there with other things to do, instead of crying and whining over whatever Blizzard post as a new update.. Time to whine over the new Talent system!

Yes because your(not just you but also the other guys in this thread) whining and insulting is so much more mature, important and well thought out than those anti RL names.

Sure buddy sure.....

...Blizzard tries to do A.
People bitch on a truly EPIC scale. They bitch like nobody has ever bitched before! No bitching has ever come remotely close to the level of this bitch-fest (and when referring to the blizzard community that's saying something).

...Blizzard sees that a LOT of people don't like A, and that A raises some serious, valid moral and ethical questions.

...Blizzard cancels A.

...Blizzard doesn't have a backbone because of it???

Wow. I guess they just can't win and/or do anything right can they? Maybe they should hire you and your genius?

You seem upset about something. Rage moar!

Sean-Patrick Fleming.

My picture is on my Avatar. Go ahead, go find my Myspace or Facebook with no personal information on me (because I'm not stupid!).

[Elica]

Once again, this is Sean-Patrick (pretty unique name!) Fleming here, telling you to go away.

Be careful. He might be trying to stalk you down as we speak, so he can scare you with his pale skin and high pitch voice.

[kivipää]

Hooray, the insecure whiners with no concept of reality, morons who already have leaked all their info all over the net to be found in the first place and trolls prevail.

Fix'd.

Not that I'd still use blizzards own forums, but this had to be said after arguments agains realID-forums were on the same level with greenpeaces claims about nuclear power; Hilariously ridicilous, overrexaggerated moronity with no base in real life.

Anyone remember that guy who commented about wanting to keep his name secret on BBC under his own name?

[Athinah]

Okay i found the QQ over this stupid anyway, if it was such a big problem for some people to use their name then they just couldn't post of the forms...that have nothing to do with the game...that you never have to look at ever...so...what was the big deal?

Really? 'Gaming history'? You seriously think that has an effect on an employers decision with most positions? 'Gaming history'?

This ^

super win.

He'll have a hard time, because I don't post personal information I don't want people to see on the interwebs.

Because I'm not fucking stupid.

Damn so I guess I was dreaming when I was interviewed for my current job and they were interested in my hobbies. I sure as hell wasn't going to tell them that I'm an avid MMO player.

[sicness]

this is to all of you trolls posting about this victory being 'whining' and 'qqing', i would like to remind you that this was not about a class change or something in game but a change that had the potential to effect someone outside the game. This was a victory for those that believe in concepts like privacy and liberty (and the free market system).

Yes! Our liberty on an optional forum board is now protected!

[Emerelle]

Don't flame Blizzard for being inconsequent or something like that, it was just the right decission to listen to the community instead of running their head against a wall. I'm happy, now i can continue using the official forums. Thank you, Blue.

Oh and.. excuse my bad english..

And every "big boss" you've worked with would love it if most of his employees or god forbid himself were linked to an MMO wouldn't he? Sure sure. When a potential client googles your company employees for contact information and comes across posts on an MMO forum that does indeed make your company look much much better.

My boss, the CEO of RIM, konica minolta execs, xerox reps, the VP of canon and pretty much every tech savvy person i've ever dealt with on a personal level all play mmos.

Just because your point is meandering and weak doesn't mean you have to use quotes to doubt what I'm saying. This is the internet age. Using the Internet is not a corporate sin.

Just because 2 bosses worldwide are dumb paranoids doesn't mean the corporate world is that way. I had a guy who didn't hire me once because he didn't like my tie. People can make up whatever dumb excuse they want, doesn't make what you're saying valid.

Using the Internet isn't a disease.

feels like we got trolled...

[Tziva]

Go back to the Official Forum now. Please, God, just go. I'm so sick of you people, your whining, and your constant spam on this shit.

Then you're probably reading the wrong thread. If you don't want to read people discussing RID, why are you on page 20 of a comment thread about it?

And please, there is no need to reply to every single post you disagree with with the exact same message. It's unnecessary. That kind of spam isn't any more desirable than that of whiny people. We got it the first time, you don't want to read the messages. So, please don't.

You forgot to say he's fat and your sterotypical description would have been complete.
