[daddy chill]

issue going on? it keeps giving me an error and I have my account verified.

after the latest update it forces me to click on a button to attach SMS to my account. I click on it and it just gives me an error and tells me to restart game. Anyone else having this issue?

I have my phone attached to my account so no I can log on just fine.

an email should be sufficient- it is what is required of most apps and games. A phone number is asking too much.

They can get your address off just the phone info. IMO it is too much of an invasion of privacy. They just lost another player unless they change that phone policy. Blizzard will try to sell your info to third parties as well.

Smurfs: I have not seen a smurf in any game in my entire life.
Ban evaders: Can't they just do a IP ban???

IP ban is just avoided by a VPN bro.

Bro you literally have to give them your credit card to buy stuff from them, and you are worried they are gonna show up at your house? Holy cow.

They have long lost an entire audience from the Russian Federation. Blizzard deliberately and knowingly unties phones for those who live in the Russian Federation.

adding sms works if you start the game from Battlenet launcher
