More crazy rumors circulating about the WoW authenticator becoming mandatory. The idea that Blizzard Entertainment is about to force this account security upgrade on people is crazy. Here is a list of just a few reasons why the WoW authenticators becoming mandatory won't help things a bit.
1. First off, many people already have the WoW authenticator and they are still getting hacked. So if hackers can already hack the authenticators then why would making them mandatory change anything?

2. Blizzard Entertainment should have never started selling the authenticators in the first place. If they really thought that accounts would be more secure with them they should have given them away. I only say this because as a company which provides people with accounts, they should be responsible for the security of those accounts. Other companies do not expect their clients to pay extra to have a secure account, why should gamers?
3. While these are all just rumors yet, the talk is that they will be adding the mandatory authenticator with the release of Cataclysm. The problem with this is that not everyone will be getting Cataclysm. It also means that everyone who bought an authenticator pre-Cataclysm is going to feel a bit put out.
All in all Blizzard Entertainment needs to get their customer service together. They have some of the worst customer service wait times in the industry. While Blizzard claims that the mandatory authenticators will help with the customer services times, it is only a matter of time until all hackers can hack authenticator accounts and then they will be right back at square one.
Regardless of whether or not Blizzard decides to make the WoW authenticator mandatory, account security in World of Warcraft is a serious issue. Tons of people are getting hacked everyday and most of the time they never all of their items back. With how much time people spend advancing their characters in World of Warcarft it is vital that they do everything to keep their account safe.
