As long as it isn't required in any way for any features (other than facebook things) I am actually okay with blizzard doing this, and if all ends up right it will be a flop and won't even matter in the long run.
But as I haven't ever had a facebook account I wouldn't be very happy if it was required for something like online play or in game friends.
My point was I already have a battle.net account I don't want to need a facebook account to access useful features, and as long is that is not the case I am okay with facebook integration.
I understand. I was suggesting that it might not actually be in Facebook's best interest for other unrelated things to require Facebook accounts for authentication -- I think it might lead to more spam accounts than actual users or mindshare.

All that would wind up resulting in is a lot of fake, one-off Facebook accounts.
