The biggest problem I've with RealID at the moment is that in WoW you are your own friend and addons can get RL information about you (at least that is what I've read, don't know if still is still true) and can save and/or send them, even if you don't use RealID.

RealID itself with the facebook connection (so that you can't be sure that nothing is send to them even if you don't like it), the missing privacy settings (characters, friends-of-friends, ...), login-email and the possibility for addons to get the information has too much conceptional flaws for me, so I won't use it.

I hope it's possible to hook into the API functions so that you can modify them to return fake strings. Does anybody knows if that's possible (don't have active account)?
