underscore under primary language, setting players up for discrimination.

This is a extremely unnecessary feature.

I play on a JP realm, infact a significant portion of non-Japanese portion of the player population play on JP realms. Every now and then i'm booted from a Duty Finder party, with no explanation. I am a competent player, i do not afk, i do not cheat, i do not harass players, in said cases i'm not offline.

I believe the underscore under primary language to be the culprit. Lets face it. Japan is an isolated culture, where jumping at a chance to discriminate happens more often than it should in an online gaming scenario.

I'm writing this now because i've been kicked out of frontlines duty 3 times in a row, during the 3rd time, i was fighting to the death with a ninja that snuck up on me. No explanation on why i was kicked. I was not afk, not offline, not harassing anyone, not cheating.

Get rid of the underscore.

Edit: 4 times now. must be discriminate day in Japan.

That's unfortunate but.. it still can be pretty handy. When I say something in DF and no one responds, my first instinct is to check which language they are using (especially in EU datacenter where everyone is speaking different languages), so I see if I need to use the auto-translate to be understood.

Umm do you have any Japanese in your search info? You can put some there, maybe even when entering an instance say hello in Japanese (not using the auto-translate, type it out). As for that..do you get teamed up with the same people? Start taking note and if it is, report them.

The reasons you listed do not outweigh the discrimination potential for misuse.

JEDF alone suffices for your uses.

I am convicting the underline that indicates the language your account falls under. Changing the UI/game client language does not change the under score of primary language.

I've played in Japanese language client/UI for a week the underscore remained under E.

Yes, plenty of JP in my search info. indicating that the underscore under primary language is being misused. No amount of JP in my search info will hide the fact that the underscore is under E in my search info. If a discriminant user sees that underscore is under a language they wish to grief, it will happen.
