I'll absolutely be picking one up. I am honestly fearful of being hacked, despite being a Mac-only player. My Wifi is secure, but if I plug in at a cafe or school, I can't be sure. This would add that extra layer to make it more comfortable for me. This would be an incredible security later and I would be pleased to front a measly 6.50$ one time.

How you connect to the internet does not affect the security of WoW client's authentication: your password is not sent to the server, so logging your internet communication is not a viable attack vector. The only real factor is the security of your own computer: is it going to send your password to third parties without your knowledge, or are you sure it's secured?
