If you look at my blogroll, you can be sure that no one else but Professor Putricide designed RealID with the only purpose to drive us away.  Even the otherwise perfectly moderated Elitist Jerks allow whining over it.

News flash: Blizzard does not make mistakes, Blizzard makes billions. They imported this feature from facebook games like Farmville. The point is to force you to play.

RealID is a really good move and I applaud the guy who figured it out.

I don't whine, I act:

1. Log in to Battle.net and find parental controls:
   
2. You get to a page where you are asked if you have set it already up. Choose "No, set it up now". You get this:
   
   "address" of course the e-mail address of your account. You don't need a "parent" address, just copy&paste the same everywhere
3. You get an e-mail to your address. Open it, you get a link there. Don't lose this e-mail, as the link is the key for the setup page. By clicking it, you instantly get to the page
4. On the page, simply unselect RealID and you are done. After some time, the changes take effect and all RealID options disappear from your interface.
   

No more Real ID. Ever.
