Breakfast Topic: The most memorable raid interruption
Mar 18th 2011 8:50AM (WoW)Healing Team Captain "Oh crap! I have to go! I have to pick up my son at soccer practice."
He leaves. Later we find out he was supposed to pick up his 7 year old son at soccer practice 3 hours ago, before the raid even started. He left his poor kid there for 3 hours while he raided.

Sep 29th 2010 1:28PM (WoW)Official forum changes, real life names to be displayed
Jul 6th 2010 2:08PM (WoW)Change my favorite profession so its no longer profitable? Meh... I'll move on.
This? This above anything will make me leave the game. The "Real ID" system in place is terrible. Terrible. The fact that you can see "friends of friends" real name? A privacy nightmare. But at least, I do not consent, so I do not allow anyone my realid email.
But now, Blizzard is effectively banning me from their forums because I like to protect my identity, forums that I use to recruit for my guild or general talking with others on my server. It's fun. I liked it, and it will go away.
Why? Because of "trolls"? Seriously? There has GOT to be a better way.
I flat out refuse to participate in this. Its getting worse and worse and if Real ID becomes no longer an "option" but a "must", it will destroy this game for me and that will be very sad for me because I like to play it.
Blizzard, one feature you could do is just allow me to set a permanent alias for my Battle.Net account that is what RealID displays. Not my real name. Do that, and all this nightmare turns into a cool feature. As it is, this IS a privacy nightmare. I will not participate, and if it ever comes to the point where its "Display your real name or stop playing" i will choose the latter option.
