Are Blizzard just so ****?

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!

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.
