There's no right or wrong answer to the Fob vs App question for this reason...we don't know how easy/hard it will be to update your account if you have to replace your phone for any reason. The above horror stories occured on Blizzard's watch. Here we are dealing with EA, and probably more important Bioware, who seem to actually give a shit about their players moreso than Blizz does.

The only truely correct answer to the authenticator question is Yes, I have one, no matter what form it may be in.

PS. Tom Brady can't hold Aaron Rodgers jock on a bad day.

Thanks Furiel. My biggest concern is that I have intentions of getting a new phone after the New Year. I don't want to have a Veela experience, wasting most of my day trying to get the adjustment. I'll hold off until after Xmas, and keep a close eye on the App issues before making a decision. Thanks again!

I was literally just saying tonight how hard it is to dislike Rodgers. He handled the Brett Favre fiasco with poise and class. I really like the guy...

...but Tom Brady is Tom Brady.

I picked up a fob for two reasons.
1. I have a Windows phone.
2. Having a fob attracts the "right" kind of ladies. :rave:

Okay, this may make it more difficult, if not impossible, to be a full member of CoA but...

You guys ahh wicked pissahs! I'm about an hour south of Beantown and a HUGE B's and Pats fan...

...Just for the record, we aren't ALL douchebirds.



As far as authenticators, yes or no? FAB or App?
I live an hour south of Boston as well.

No, they're not all douchbags, some of them are flaming bags of dog poo.

Boston has some of the best cocktail bars in the US.

I don't really care about the Patriots and I'm not sure that baseball or hockey are still considered sports.

But...

I'm fairly sure that in Canada, there is some law in our parlimentary governmental system that considers that statement blasphemous.

If the LA Kings are your measuring stick for hockey as a sport, then this explains a lot, actually.

As far as I know the Kings are that crappy basketball team in Sacramento. I hear there's a flock of ducks that lives down the road from me that may or may not play ice soccer.

As a Bills fan I also really enjoyed this. I also am torn towards Cuspar: I either want to give him a reach around for that or am scared because he's stalking Brady. Maybe a bit of both.

Any team from NY, LA or Bos can suck my ass. But since they and all their fans are erotic overlords, they would probably enjoy it. So they can all go fuck themselves.

Go Cowboys/Texans/Spurs/Rockets/Stars/Longhorns! Fuck the Mavericks.

Wait wait wait Go Cowboys but fuck the Mavericks? The Cowboys (and many of their fans) are MEGA-d-bags. Like on par with Yankee fans. I grew up in the Dallas area and if I had to choose a Cowboy fan or a Maverick fan to go hang out with, the Maverick fan would win 10/10 times.

I can't stand Mark Cuban.

No one is on par with Yankee fan douchebaggery. Maybe Laker or Red Sox fans.

I've never met a Maverick fan who wasn't a pretentious asswipe. So your anecdote holds no water.
