"This is bullshit! Blizzard should protect my account without making me spend 5 dollars for extra security!! If I'm forced to buy an authenticator to make sure my account is not hacked then I demand a refund! If a refund is not provided, then Blizzard will be hearing from my lawyers."
That might be the attitude of a lot of people....
lulz just sayin'
And that is why Blizzard never includes authenticators with their collector's editions or regular games; because you are willing to pay more for security that should be added within their product. The LEAST they could do is give an auth. in a CE.
No, Blizzard doesn't need to pay out money for authenticators in every box to help *your* end-user security. That's your job as it is for anyone who uses the Internet.
Their job is to keep their own servers secure, and not lose your user info to hackers on their end. They have done so, and not lost any info. They last reported a compromise of their systems in 2001, iirc. All the compromises have occurred on the user's end, on computers not owned, nor maintained, by Blizzard. Yet some of you think it's Blizzard's job to secure those? They're already going above and beyond to offer the authenticators at cost for physical, and free if you have a smartphone or IPod Touch type device to put it on.
If a person pays $100 for Collector's Edition (original is $60 obviously) you don't think they should be entitled to extra security? What are you, a spawn of Kotick?
See. Things like this are part of the problem. Entitled? Yes. if you buy the CE, Blizz should come to your house and ensure that you're smart enough to keep your computer safe. I mean, it's not like the extra money is actually paying for anything else that comes in the CE that doesn't come with the regular/digital version of the game, right?
Account security is the user's responsibility. Server security is Blizzard's. If your account gets hacked, odds are it's your fault. If the servers get hacked, that's a completely different story.
