Cascadier Uniform Voucher Redeemal Point Removed?

[Tsuga]

Name changes aren't always best for MMOs. This is one way that scammers and sellers can continue to roam free in the world, depending on how they're tracked by the companies. I know on other games they refuse to implement name changes due to the reasons of scammers and sellers.

Yes but the option to change gender is literally pointless if a name reflects the opposite gender. It renders Fantasia useless for those of us who want to swap genders, or simply do not like our names.

I'd be happy with it being a paid function. Charge me 15 bucks, I'd pay it to change my name when/if I swap gender.

Also I would assume that there would be an internal log noting the history of characters created/renamed on every account. A character changing names should not be an issue on SE's end.

Sometimes its not about scamming to change name. Some set it up with silly name to get into the game. They then start playing and enjoy the game but to far into it to reset character this means they stuck staring at some silly name.

To add to this - the community shouldn't be deprived of features just because they COULD be potentially abused. Scammers, RMT, etc. could abuse several systems in the game, as well as features like server transfer, and mog mail. It's up to SE to put systems in place that make it harder for these systems to be abused without taking away from the play experience. Leaving a common - and in this case a necessary feature out is the lazy approach.

Unless the DBA used the character name as primary key, then would be annoying to change the char name lol

Legacy players got automated name changes for all of their characters upon transferring to ARR, so I don't know that it's an issue of bad housekeeping. It's a possibility, but there's a proven work-around all ready.

Same, I'd have no problem paying for it too.

To be honest i'm not sure how name changes would be an advantage to scammers and sellers unless Squenix implemented a really bizarre way of tracking characters and accounts. Most games the account and character is assigned a unique identifier string in the database that is never changed and is not visible to players. When a character is reported the report references that specific character and account. So someone could change their name ten times between ten reports and to the GMs it would show up as ten flags on that character/account.

Anyway, glad to see that i should be able to get my Cascadier pieces now.
Hopefully i'll eventually be able to redeem the Lightning bits as well.

Good news!

I just wanted to let you know that the team is planning to implement an NPC in patch 2.3 that will allow you to swap gender-specific gear!

Please, make sure that yukatas and other event items are included too !!

The Calamity Salvager doesn't sell them, neither the Lightning gear... or at least didn't see it when I checked.

Hello, everyone.

Greetings,

We checked with team and confirmed that the following items also cannot be exchanged:

• On the Properties of Beastmen
• Platinum scales
• Gold scales
• Eorzean Alliance commemorative coin

We will be fixing this during the next Hot Fix. Apologies for the inconvenience!

There has been a slight change in schedule for the fixes planned and these items, as well as the Aquamarine Cross, and other grand company items will be fixed in patch 2.3. Once again, apologies for the delay and the inconvenience.

I'm still wondering what can be done regarding these swimsuits as well. I ended up buying the wrong gender one for one of the pieces and I'm still sitting on it wondering what to do with it.
