Blizzard launches Facebook Armory App

http://www.wow.com/2010/02/01/blizzard-launches-facebook-armory-app/

Same as teacake, I'm not interested in posting my every little thing done in WoW, I mean the armory itself already tells of my misdeeds / work for those that know my toons and want to look em up. But I'm not volunteering info with my real name tied to my characters, just seems it would decrease security that little bit more. Oh look ToonPally40 belongs to "John Smith" if we get an account with ToonPally40 we have the owners real name... and depending on your security settings city, birthdate... some people STILL have phone number listed on there...

Those that know me and care about wow already know how to check my progress

I don't know. Wahu just got 50 mounts in World of Warcraft is at least as interesting as SuzyQue planted some carrots in Farmville.

If I did link it, it would be because of this.

Delete please. Thanks.

Please tell me how on earth you turn that crap off!

I'm on there to keep in touch with my mom, who lives far away; my nephew, who is pretty cool; my brother-in-law, who is stationed in Italy. And my sister-though I don't know why. Heh. And my mom and sister do that crap constantly!! I'm so sick of wading through that crap to find the actual messages about what's up!

As for if I'd do it, I thought about it and thought better of it. It's not the spam, it's the security thing. I don't let Facebook go through my e-mail list and I don't let them give out my personal info so that I can do that "which Flintstones character are you?!" crap. I also don't ever post photos of my daughter or even allow her name to be mentioned. Yeah, I'm not sure who'd care enough to look that stuff up on me, but I'm not taking any chances.

And I don't do enough in the game for anyone to really care anyhow. Seeing my 35th character reach level 40 isn't really that big a deal.

Next time you get a Farmville update hover over it and click the "Hide" button. It should then give you an option to "Hide MarySue" or "Hide Farmville" or something like that. You can choose Farmville to never see updates from that application (from anyone) ever again.




I don't know about that. I think it's interesting. I'd have all sorts of comments and questions. Like why you need 3-4 of each class...

I block every app I get an invite to use or see updates from but they keep creating new ones at breakneck pace, wish you could just block updates from ALL aps (unless maybe you... you know... use! that app yourself, even then I don't need to know that 30 of my friends did whatever on it) I use it to keep in touch with family from coast to coast, I don't need to know that my inlaws are cooking... nope make that eating... nope make that done dinner.... oh no now they're watching a movie... oh no walking the dog... who cares, stop spamming me and let me get the real meat that matters.

F*CK FARMVILLE.

That is all.

OMG YES INDEED.

My wife plays that crap. It's sooooo bad. It makes me cry inside.

1. Everything involves clicking. Lots and lots of clicking. It's a level of repetitive grind that gamers have long ago shunned, but non-gamers get hooked by the pretty pictures and end up addicted to a grind that's worse than a Korean MMO.
2. Everything new that they release costs money. Lots and lots of money. If you wanted to, you could spend as much as $10 on a building. A single building on your farm that does nothing. The prices for everything are greedy. They also provide opportunities to sign up for "free" Farmbucks by filling out surveys online, which are all just scams to get you to agree to get texts on your phone for $1.25 apiece...
3. It constantly wants you to broadcast EVERYTHING you do to your entire friend list. It's spam. No one cares if you just earned the "Animal Lover (in the ***) Blue Ribbon"
4. There is no gameplay dynamic at all. It's not a game, it's a toy. I got sick of toys when I was 10. I like games. They have a purpose. Compare Farmville to The Sims 3 and see what a "game" in the sim genre should look like. And $40 on the Sims 3 sure beats spending it on 4 buildings in Farmville ...

Ugh...

Facebook, Myspace and Twitter have one and only one purpose in my life: Coupons and discount codes on things and at places I actually visit/shop. Maybe to find an old friend, but once I find them, that's what email, phone and IMs are for.

Facebook is nice because I have friends from all over the place. I was in the Army and I have friends that I don't get to see everyday or even that often at all but I still care about. I like to see what they are up to.

I'm a closet WoW player, I don't want my friends to know!
