In order to fully use the group finder, that is, to create a group and be able to edit certain crucial windows (so for example, create a mythic+ group), you need to have authenticator enabled and a phone number written in to your to your battle.net account. The problem? Blizzard doesn’t accept pre-paid numbers, where in my country Lithuania most young people use pre-paid.
This is bad enough, but they also do not accept my post-paid numbers in my country it seems. I tried to write in my phone number and the phone numbers of some of my close people, so several numbers, all of whom are post paid phone numbers and meet all the requirements, however, battle.net for some mysterious reasons will not accept the numbers. Phone carriers say they cannot do anything because the numbers are indeed listed as post-paid, but blizzard support offered no help with this problem that is clearly on their end.
So you pay for a full game and a subscription, and then for technical reasons outside of your control you cannot use some very important systems within the game even when it is outside of your control. GG Blizzard.
It cuts down on the number of spam listings from sellers etc.
Personally didn’t see it as a big deal considering all the other account details Blizzard already has. Including my phone number.
You can use it just fine to create groups even without adding an authenticator. If millions of others can form groups with the default title, so can you.
Because the only thing you can´t do is edit the name and note of the listing in a group you create yourself. Which is arguably the most useless feature of the system, because it seems nobody reads the notes anyway, and typical edited titles like “LFM NHC LoU, Curved+650+ only” will only ever cause fewer people to sign up.
It does however mean you can’t list a m+ dungeon for a key that’s not in your bags. You can’t be the leader for someone else in your group, for example, which if you’re higher rated might have otherwise helped the group be more attractive.
