This isn't nearly as big a deal as people would like to pretend it is.

It is for some people. But I guess you may not comprehend that other persons have other views on privacy than you do.

Just because other people have views doesn't make them valid.
Comprehension is exactly what those "other people" I'm refering to aren't doing. A first and last name isn't much to go on in a world as big as the one we live in. Furthermore, if they don't like it, they could just not post, and all their privacy concerns are gone. The only people this would affect are the one's who like to use the internet as their personal playground and then hide behind their anonymity, and those people have plenty of other places to go.

It's not low. It's smart. It's a solution that doesn't dramatically increase the amount of moderation on the forums while still doing a lot to clean out the trolls and dicktrees who suddenly don't have a mask to hide behind. It also promotes people being responsible for their words and actions, which would be a nice change to the internet.
Lastly, it's the official battle.net forums. Big fucking deal. No worthwhile exchanges of information take place there anyway.

I'm not saying Blizzard's action is low at all. What I'm saying is that asshole who posted the employee's entire livelihood for all to see was low.

In that case, I agree, although I'm not entirely sure what that has to do with what Blizzard is doing.

It means that someone could easily pick out another forum user's info just like that.

I pre-ordered SC2 since a) macfag and b) I feel like playing a rts despite being mediocre at the genre. Is the MP still fun for people with less than 100apm? How micro/macro heavy is it compared to generals? Which faction should I start with if I prefer macro?
lol

60 APM is probably the bare minimum you need to get into the Diamond League, assuming all your other skills are good enough to compensate. Considering how awful everyone is at this stage in the game's life-cycle, you could conceivably achieve some success with as low as 40-50 APM. It's difficult to say how micro/macro heavy it is, since that would depend heavily on who you're playing, but I can say with confidence it's more taxing than Generals. Most macro-bot players tend to enjoy playing the Zerg, but I feel the other two are easier to pick up and learn. Try all three and see which you have the most fun with.

sheeeit, I figured that literally every RTS pro/semi-pro would jump all over this game and ruin the fun for everyone else, but it seems a lot of WoW tards are having their first rts experience. I played china and later tank general in ZH...literally my only mp rts experience

Oh, don't worry. Every RTS pro/semi pro will be jumping all over it, but they're far outnumbers by WoW fags and people who just don't know how to RTS in general. That, and you won't be matched against pros anyway.

Played a few games on battle.net - feel like I'm disadvantaged like no other game because of location. I get half a second+ Delays when doing anything; Microing still makes a difference, but it's hard not being able to see exactly what your units are doing near-real time.
Every command given while microing has to be done ahead of time i.e vulture micro.
Can't wait for SC2 though. Despite those who have played the beta; it will be an even playing field from the start.
|
It won't be anything close to an even playing field, but not because of the beta experience.

that's an awesome trailer! wow that's the scene where the f$#&%@! abandoned Kerrigan. And amazing voice acting too...they got Raynor's voice all right. Looks like Blizzard is serious about getting it right.
Sometimes I wish I didn't suck so much at RTS and wish I could have played StarCraft more. It's a wealthy gaming universe in every sense.

I'd just like to say that if you're a Bronze Leaguer, your opinions on balance or BOs or harassment or difficulty don't count for much. And just so you don't grow some unwarranted self importance, you were top 12 in your division of like 50 people, not top 12 in all of the Silver League. That said, if putting "Hurp Durp Division, Silver League: 12" next to your name gave you some confidence and made you feel like you could succeed at the game, the division system did its job.
As for the article that was linked, half of what's written is sensationalist bullshit. It's a shame that people who don't follow StarCraft II close enough (Or even though that do but are looking for something to bitch about) will grab their pitchforks anyway.
EDIT: In other news, Hydralisks are now snazzy dancers, in addition to ruthless killing machines.
