Just to quote an email when all I want to do is change my email address:

If you wish to change your registered email address please reply back to this email with the following information:

CD Key: Located in your World of Warcraft box.
Account Name: The account name you are using.
Name: The full name that the account was created with.
Address: The address information given when the account was created, including country.
Zip/Postal Code: The zip/postal code that was given when the account was created.
Your Secret Question and Answer
Original E-Mail Address.
New E-Mail Address



I mean, come on, what an absolute administration nightmare that is. On ever other MMORPG game you can log into the control panel and change it.

FFS!

Gotta be careful these days. All kinds of tards trying to jack MMO accounts off of people.

Better this than anti-Blizzard posts complaining how weak their security is (a la the BF2 stats hack a while ago).
 
I know about account hijacks and selling characters, etc.

But, come on, to change an email they want all this information - talk about opening the door to security should the email ever get hijacked.

At the moment if somebody did hijack my account then it's simply ring them up with the CD Key and they should be able to do something about it but to give that all in an email??

Why you can't do it from the account management is crazy - well that's when account management actually works.

Well, if they didn't ask for this information and it was changed by someone that isn't you, how would you feel about their security then? Take comfort in the fact that they're actually asking for this information and not just taking your word for it that you are who you say you are. If someone else managed to get your email address changed, they would have access to a great deal of information about you.
