Blizzard wollte einführen das man in den öffentlichen Foren nur noch mit seinem echten Namen Beiträger erstellen oder antworten kann, der Wiederstand aus der Community war massiv und das Weltweit.

Nicht nur das sich die Spieler in den Foren dagegen aussprechen sie wenden sich auch massiv an die Presse, dieser Protest geht Weltweit.
