Come on and Get Your Overdose

This is real. It's invasive. If you're doubting that you're in danger (looking at YOU, Facebook friends), read this and doubt no more. What you need to reset someone's password on Battle.net is their email address and real name. What everyone who is Real ID friends with your Real ID friends, whether you approve them or not, is your email address and real name. There is also a simple /run hack to steal this info.

Go to Battle.net. Enable your parental controls and DISABLE REAL ID. Unless you want to be hacked.

After enabling RealID, I clicked Report Spam on a whispered gold selling offer. I believe this was the point at which my email address was transmitted, I could be wrong. But I've never opened an email address from someone I don't know, and I've never responded to a direct message from someone I don't know except to right click their name and Report Spam, which is what you are SUPPOSED to do.

If I can't disable RealID in its entirety, I am cancelling my subscription until Blizzard gets rid of the program.

If you play, I suggest you do the same.
