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

for those of you who just join this thread, let me recap or "TL;DR" this thread


SE response to the Fresh meat title in pvp



the "l33t" pvpers who cant grief other players response are like....


the average pvper who doesnt care as we will be too busy targeting and killing the most dangerous players first to worry about other players name are like....




im sorry for this post, but i find all this crying over the title "fresh meat" to be rather funny

And all the PvE scrubs are like "waaaahhhh, l33t PvP'ers are ruining our game!!"

Seriously though, this is a horrible decision by SE. I don't understand how they think somebody calling you a noob is going to be more offensive than getting constantly spammed by gold sellers. Might as well remove names for PvE too. Actually, let's just remove the whole chat system so we can protect peoples feelings.

There is really nothing "horrible" about it. The only reason not to like it is because seeing the names would affect how you would personally behave while participating, which is a sign that the name masking is doing its job.

I really don't understand these "i am dissapoint" posts. Names are irrelevant. What reason could you want to see the names of random opponents you may not see again other than to target them because of it?

Seeing names adds the feeling that you are playing against an actual person. Imagine getting completely facerolled by some premade and running into them again a few rounds later. You've now seen how they played and you can try to adjust your strats acordingly. You cannot do this if everybody has the same name. Are people really that sensitive that they can't handle being called a "noob" or a "scrub" for a few seconds while they add someone to blacklist? Personally, I would like to be able to message my opponents or teammates after the game to ask them about how they did x or what build they were running.
