I'm sure there are perfectly valid reasons for them to take full control of our discord accounts and this won't be abused.
Can you do all of those on a battle net account? I would, in good faith, presume the plan is for the battle net app to act as a pseudo discord app and let you control everything on your discord account through it.
PS: I searched very hard for that good faith.
Edit: Know what? Discord ain't exactly known for its ethical behaviour, so fuck em.
Right? This is Mussolini trying to get admin permissions on the third Reich. I don't have a dog in this one.
The intent is almost strictly for WoW, discord is advertising that it's to allow for merging of WoW clan chat and discord messages, I would assume via the discord client which is why it asks for so many intents. Screw that regardless though.

Yeah, to me that sounds like what's going on. They're trying to implement a Discord client within their game, and to really do that successfully, it needs permissions to do all the Discord things.
I'm just disappointed that people are still on Discord after all their global age verification crap.
They never asked me to verify, so it doesn't seem mandatory
They profiled you based on your activity and algorithmically decided you probably weren't a kid
What age verification? I haven't needed to verify my age. I heard the news but it seems that's its optional.
Good luck getting people to move
Man...
When Discord tightens the screws, it is going to be pain in a lot of communities.
Like, technically these permissions make sense now, but some day they will bite users in the butt.
Some of these permissions I didn't even think was a possibility for discord integrations, holy cow.
Damn, if they're going to get all that up into my account the least they could do is bake me a cake. The nerve.
bake a cake
"we're so quirky guys!!!!1!1!!!1!!"
Same vibe
at least the cake isn't a lie this time
I really just wanted a cake, but I guess that's the one thing it can't do.
At this point why won’t they just create an AI that mimics me across multiple social media platforms? If they’re stealing my data they should at least do the honors of posting for me
i actually exported my discord messages last year to do this for myself locally but it was too much effort
Why no cake.
I actually really hate the bullshit fluff they add to the permissions request. It's not cute, permissions should be concise and clear.
What do you mean, this is to improve user experience!
"Improving user experience" would be to not use any of those two apps.
I mean, it's trying to integrate itself into Discord at a high level, so much so that you can see if a friend is online to send them an invite or message without needing to open the app.
The only odd thing is to join servers in your behalf, but if you wanted to join a server without opening Discord directly, wouldn't it need that permission?
This doesn't seem that egregious, and the long list is quite informative of exactly what it can do.
Join servers on your behalf would be required to do something like "Join the World of Warcraft community server" or "join your guild's Discord server" buttons. Theoretically permanent links could work here, but Discord has made permanent linking harder to do for legitimate reasons, and it wouldn't work for smaller servers.
Email and third-party connections seem questionable. Why should Blizzard need to know my Discord account's email?
Yeah, why is this even mildly infuriating? If anything, it's good to see transparency like this.
It's not saying the program will do any of those things without your input. It's just letting you know that your input in one program is using another programs data.
Doesn't rich presence already cover most of that without needing to handover this amount of perms to a third-party?
Internet 3 is growing hungry.
Til battle.net still exists and didn't die with wc3.
It's... The base app for all blizzard games, ofc it exists. I hate blizzard as much as the next guy but wow, the Diablo ripoffs, hearthstone and all the other crap is in there.
What are the third party connections? This could literally be anything.
IIRC this means that the Battle.net app would be able to see the details of a connected Twitch account, for example. I think I've seen this used in certain situations for things like account management apps or in a few servers that want to verify the identity of people, e.g. creator communities.
Discord malware needs fewer permissions than this /s
Just wait until battle[.]net gets pwded
Why are some of them duplicated?
the scrolling screenshot function on my phone is... imperfect
Gotta water down the TOS list to the point where reading it will take a year. /s
Not enough cake
I'm happy not using blizzard or other Microsoft products.
I bet they'll try to buy discord soon.
Imagine continuing to play Blizzard games after all they’ve done. Some gamers really are cucks for nostalgia
Youre getting downvoted but Blizzard really has gone into the shitter since... Uhh... Wrath of the Lich King? Maybe like 2 weeks into Overwatch?
honestly I see only reasonable requests (plus selling your data if you didn't check that off). These look all like needed features to interact with friends between battle net and discord, they're a lot because discord made them "granular"
Oh, yeah, permission to manage a person's friends list in Discord and even block them is a totally "reasonable request".
