@All those who say this is a fake just explain to me why the characters shown here can be found on the US armory? I want this to e fake... Because I play WoW... BUT if it's not then...
he created an addon that assigns random names to people you scrollover, you can see the maker of GS doing the exact same thing and showing that it's just a fake.
@jh198713 See what Verramoth said, exactly what he did, its a script that allows for you to put in several random names, and when you hover over it, it will randomly assign one, and "Remember" which character it linked it too, so it will display the same when it hovers over again. Notice how the retard in this video only hovered over like 3-4 names, and it's such a small video? He's trying to stir controversy so people wont use GS.
This only works if both parties have the same source code to gather this information. The "exploit" works because your real name is hidden on your friends list (note, YOUR friends list, not anyone else's). Through a simple loop code, an addon can locate your name and share this information to others with the same addon. If you're that scared about having your real name seen, just disable gearscore.
While the author of GS has shown that it can be faked, we still don't know if what the person did here is fake or not. Only way to know for sure is to ask the people caught on this video what their names are.
I repeat, THIS VIDEO IS FAKED. The entire Gearscore "scare" was a hoax.
The author of this video has a blog here: gearscore.blogspot. co m where he admits the entire thing was a hoax. The videos and the screenshots are not real.
Here is a WoW. co m post about it: wow.co m/2010/07/08/that-scary-gearscore-real-id-screenshot-is-fake-guys/
And lastly, here is a video on how to recreate what you saw in this video: youtube.co m/watch?v=GO5zmuFTLtA
@southernmost It's also easy to fake as demonstrated by the author of Gearscore here: youtube.com/watch?v=GO5zmuFTLtA
The author denies GS 3.2 exists. Amarandify has already shown dishonesty with the misleading title. What makes you think they didn't fabricate the video also?
The author of GS has everything to lose from being caught in a lie regarding this supposed. This anonymous youtube poster, has nothing to lose. They do it for the lulz.
Doesn't matter if this is fake or not, once the forums change this will be able to achieved quite similarly w/o GS with a just web scraper and an ingame addon DB.
@MegaRoFLL Fake? mmm maybe... But don't kid yourself, third party addons taking advantage of RealID could easily make this a reality if the implementation of the forums becomes a reality. Which, considering the deal with facebook is done, something like this and even further and more intrusive leading to links to social networking account if you have them is a very real possibility. RealID on the forums opens up a can of worms not yet realized.
He doesn't highlight a paladin at all. He does a warrior, druid, shaman, and priest. I looked up the warrior's name and Grunok does come up on the realm Mal'Ganis.
To people saying this is fake: What do you know about it other than some thing you just read? Actually try it before you say its fake, I just did and was surprised by the information I found.
@lgnlint Because the person who created this video already admitted to it being a fake when he first passed around a supposed screenshot. No, you didn't try it and discover anything like this. It IS a fake video, just like the fake screenshot. The Gearscore website is one research location you can visit to see that it's a fake, and WoW.com is another one. Again: IT. IS. FAKE.
No it is not possible to sue blizzard for this because they make you accept a bullshit agreement before you are allowed to play the game stating that they can get away with anything. Though then again they couldn't put "we are allowed to come to your house and murder you if you agree" and then carry it out.
This is serious enough for the state to possibly get involved. As far as america is concerned atleast, many other countries such as canada and germany may just ban wow altoghther
@Culanin it doesn't matter if you clicked "accept". If passing out people's RL names and violating their privacy violates, say, international law/business practices, putting an "accept/decline" won't remove their liability. It's like giving someone a contract saying "it's okay for me to shoot you", getting them to sign it (without duress) and then shooting them. You've still committed several crimes.
@lgnlint Your stupid, you accept the EULA and ToC every time you sign in, so even if this was possible, your telling Blizzard its ok to do it by accepting em. You cant just sue some one because they do something you don't like.
Retards, this is fake.
There is no way a program (bot) can link those to togather its near impossible.
And besides if u never post on wow forums it still is impossible.
100000% fake.

Are the people in this video whom you click and reveal RealID for aware of, and consented to you posting their supposed RL names on Youtube?
I'm pretty certain that it's a violation of this website's ToS to post Rl names, even if Blizz is no longer honoring their own rule on the matter.
