Holy cats. Reading this thread has made me realize exactly why Nintendo doesn't change this: they don't have to. Die-hard fans seem much more interested in blaming the person with the problem than demanding a better solution.

Point blank, it's a bad account system supported by bad policy. I would imagine that thousands of people have been stung by this, many of them probably non-tech-savvy parents. Why anyone would defend Nintendo on this, I have no idea. They would be better served by demanding that Nintendo get to work on improvements.

Who are you basing that off of? DieAppleDie?

Among others.  Read cbarroso09's post, for example.  But yeah, I should have said "some die-hard fans", as I'm sure there are plenty who don't like the way it's handled now.
