I just went through the process to delete my account. First attempt to use my Authenticator was “denied - too many attempts. Try another method”. Tried using SMS auth, “denied - too many attempts. Try another method”. Uploaded my driver’s license. Irrespective of stance on China, for this behaviour alone Blizzard can go and get fucked.

EDITED to correct spelling.

It needs to be that way. Deleting a MMO account or several thousand dollars worth of hearthstone collections should not be something a casual hacker can do with just your password.

I didn’t make myself clear. I have 2FA enabled and neither the authenticator nor the SMS verification was accepted. And yet I strangely had no problem logging into the game last time I played. I’m pretty sure they’re just creating hoops to dissuade casual leavers. #blexit
