Since the last update, Pixonic had the Bright idea to attach your Facebook ID in clear for everyone to see. This forced me to have to unlink my Facebook profile for my own privacy reasons. Does any of you feel that your private Facebook ID shouldn't be shown to strangers that aren't already you in your Facebook Friend list? Woosh, i just wish we could have just a normal friend list like every other normal game. EDIT: here is an example screenshot of how the Facebook ID is shown in the game  |

I run a fake War Robots zuckerbook for exactly this reason.
Don't need a bunch of weirdos on my personal account. Tried before. Wasn't comfortable with it.
*Poof*
Paps MacDude was born.
Edit: An in-game friend list would have been/would still be nice. I hate facebook.

I don't normally do FB but connected a FB account to this game. As soon as I did, that FB account got hacked. I hear War Robots is made by russians....hmmmm....

I had to link it to find a RL life friend, since we are now in the same clan i don't need anymore.
It was just useful to have him on a separate list (friends) instead of just clan mates,
but my privacy imho is worth more than some sorting feature.

There are so many reasons I don't do Facebook or any other social media BS. This type of thing is a perfect example.

maybe War Robots is trying to foster a sense of community since in FB everybody is connected. it makes me wonder on what thoughts would Mark Zuck(FB) think of next for FB. Reminds me of this line. “Those who surrender freedom for security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one.” Benjamin Franklin.

Pardon my ignorance, but where exactly in the game are our FB ID's shown? Because I clicked on Profile in-game and I'm not seeing it.
And no, I don't want my FB info to be shown. Already had some jackass a month or so ago attempt to scam me on FB who claimed to be higher echelon within Pix.

I have one for my account and i just stay logged in on my browser and use the app for my personal FB account. This saves me logging out/in all the time. It's actually pretty useful, you can use it for other games as well. Then you can keep your gaming life and personal life separate  Just don't use it for dating... I, (ahem), HEARD someone say it was a bad idea... |

If u click on each of them, if there is a linked FB account, it will show up directly with the first click. Also if you are in a clan you can check you clan mates if they have a linked account, or in the Battle History. To see other ppl Facebook ID, i need to have a FB account linked to the game. here is an example screenshot took in game, of a casual player Dredd77 |

It's definitely stupid. I only have a Facebook gamer ID but I can understand why people who use their real profiles would be upset.
It's not only an invasion of privacy, it's completely un-necessary.

Well, those Pixonic morons strike again No, just an alternative FB account with your gaming name in place of your real name, or a recognisable variation thereof so that FB will accept it. And those 'Pixonic morons' you deride actually made a game that you care about enough to comment its forum. Save the hate brah... |

I keep getting friend requests on my gamer profile, from people who do not seem to have absolutely anything to do with War Robots. It is just that they are linked to someone that is already on my friends list. Just because you are a friend of a friend, it doesn't mean you are my friend.
Lots of drooling perverts on FB *drool*

And those 'Pixonic morons' you deride actually made a game that you care about enough to comment its forum. Save the hate brah... Mea culpa... I misinterpreted your post then. My War Robots account automatically connected me to my active account on FB apps. Of course I can log out, then login with my fake one, and War Robots will automatically connected me there. But naaah, I won't do anything extra for Pixonic  . If after 3 years they're still don't bother to add a simple feature like in-game "add a friend", then I won't bother . Participate in a forum is purely about socialization to me. I care about the players, that's all. About War Robots/Pixonic? Imho, if they don't care about community's voice, then why should I care about them and the product? I just play, however sheety it is, whatever way I want. And if War Robots goes down straight to the drain because of their ignorances, I don't care. I'll just play the next game, no strings attached . But hey... That's just me . |

I've had a FB account since February 2008, but I don't really talk to anyone on there on my Friends list anymore. Pretty much just news and politics now.
It's tempting to just pull the plug.

I'm on that same boat dude. I used to run my FB-War Robots account under "Schnitzel Wiki", but FB found it out and shut it down. Now it's either use my real name FB account, or none at all. Well I value my privacy and the fact that I like keeping my real life and gaming life apart. That aside, I'm tempted to just delete my real FB account as well. Nothing but articles and shared posts on politics. |

I love that they're showing it in the friends list so I can remove those pesky level 5 accounts I added by accident, but showing it to everyone? Seriously Pixonic?

I just signed out of Facebook after the update. Unless you change back, Pixonic, many will follow in my path.
