Young Lady, you will not use that Newfangled “Real Eye Dee”

– July 7, 2010Posted in: Addons, WOW Generally

In order to address the addon security flaw that would allow addons to datamine my real name via Real ID, though I have no Real ID friends, I switched on parental controls and disabled Real ID.  I had been trying to avoid parental controls, since their current implementation is also an account security risk.  Lesser of two evils?

      I sure as hell hope this solves the problem.  At least I won’t have the options of a feature I never intend to use cluttering up my in-game interface.
