I've canceled my StarCraft 2 pre-order. It makes me sad Blizzard is take ing this stance on crushing trolls.
I've changed my pre-order over to FFXIV instead. Any other FF Shacker fanboi out there going to join me?

This could simply be a knee jerk reaction by people. And when you're starting to talk about making people's personal information available to the general public, there SHOULD be a reaction.
Maybe Blizz has thought this through and they have adequate safeguards in place. I'm sure we don't know yet. I think you're underestimating the unintentional effects this can indeed have. Will this effect everyone. No, certainly not. But if someone does an internet search on someone because they're looking to hire/date/enroll them in their college, their private activities are really none of their business. If your gaming is attached to your real name, then that information is available to anyone who does a simple search and it's really none of their business. And once that information is out there, there's no getting it back. Thus why we should be EXTRA careful before flippantly dismissing it's importance.
