Something about the incoming PvP that really disturbs me. The names. Fresh meat.

And your ability to be obtuse is flawless as well. If your idea of "meeting other players in a multiplayer game" equates to being able to see that you killed "Mylittle Pwny," then you're just further illustrating SE's policy on this.

If you want games where everything can be steamrolled and you can't offend anyone or kill them, here: https://www.wizard101.com/, http://www.monkeyquest.com/en/index

I could care less if I can see who I'm killing, just saying if I want other players to see who I am, who is that hurting? If it happens that I can see someone on the opposing team, and they're a good player, why should I not be able to friend them..? This isn't a faction game, we could always team up for the next round, or even invite them to FC or endgame..

EDIT:

SE is taking all those harassment prevention features and such way too far.

We can't kick people in dungeons, or send /tells cause they fear people will get harassed. People will not be shown by their name in PvP, to prevent harassment afterwards...

I don't know that the /tell thing has ever been attributed to harassment prevention, but even if it has, it's most likely a cover for a technical inability. Since duty finder servers combine multiple servers, and you're partying with John Deere, how would the game know whether or not to /tell the one in the dungeon with you, or the one on your home server?

Sorry, kind off-topiic, and I agree that this one in particular is indeed too far.
