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

Did you even read my post? I was talking about getting to know the different strategies of different players and teams and how that would be impossibly hard if everyone has the same name. It's the the different styles of play that add the feeling of personalization, not the "erratic behavior" ("hurr durr, time to pvp, let's go act erratically.") Ever play a multiplayer game on the Wii and think, "Well that was fun, but I really wish I could converse with everybody here."? It makes the game feel incredibly empty.

Explain to me, how do you think their is going to be a leaderboard if they aren't going to show any player names? (Welp, looks like the Top 5 today is Fresh Meat, Fresh Meat, Fresh Meat, Fresh Meat, Fresh Meat.)

You seem to just be hopping on the fanboy bandwagon of "SE has a good reason for this. It's a useless feature. Nobody likes to know who they are facing. Nobody likes to communicate with each other." PvP communities are built by getting to know other players, this decision to not reveal player names could be decider between successful and unsuccessful PvP.

Because whatever code is behind recording our stats is smart enough to hold a name value despite what the screen has displayed?
