I like to keep my real life and gaming life separately since I know there are a lot of creepy people on the internet so I'm definitely against this Blizzard policy after being stalked myself.
Couple people I used to game with in a guild, (although it wasn't WoW) were able to find out my full name (and my name isn't unique so you won't be able to find the right person by googling my name) and then soon after, they were able to find my pictures on the web and were able to associate my name to the right pictures.
Although they weren't trying to harm me or anything, it's pretty damn creepy how some people can still find out information about me despite how careful I am handling my real life information in games. I usually don't tell anyone my real life information, including my full name. I've actually had to get my CP username changed because I didn't want them to find out more information about me (my game username and cp username was same at that time).
This still happened even though I was real careful about my real life info. I don't even want to know how bad it'll be once those creepers get access to names of everyone playing WoW or SC2.
Also, Blizzard's gone to sh#t ever since Activision started taking control.
