I think one motive is that these are effortless to take embed script and paste that script anywhere you desire. Why YouTube video tutorials are shared everywhere?

I do worry for everyone else though. Blizzard did us right when they gave everyone their anonymity back. I don't like the fact that I can see the whole names or my friend's friends and they can see mine. What if I am not in amicable terms with some of their friends? Some of them know me by my first name, which was ok (cause everyone has a name and mine is pretty common) but for them to be able to narrow down my last name from a list, pretty scary!!! And it's not fair to exclude a friend because of this. I hope they skip that Friend of Friend thing... or at least give everyone an option to turn off other people's view.

The first one being a lack of privacy/animosity, including whether some felt their safety or livelihoods were threatened. Next being the increased difficulty of using the forums for ingame functions, i.e. to successfully recruit or search for a guild. Finally, many people were worried by the precedent it could have set. For example, say Blizzard/Activision mentioned the possibility of ingame advertising to its share holders. Imagine, as you prepare to fight the Lich King and just as you engage the encounter "The Lich King, brought to you by Coca-Cola," flashes across your screen, or a vendor shop in Dalaran is renamed Wal-Mart.
