Removal of Surnames

[Rhianu]

That's why the first thing they teach you when devising a survey in a statistics class is not to put in any optional questions

This thing is so minor and inconsequential that there's no doubt on the nature of an effort to question it.

Surnames aren't going anywhere.

When players create a new character, they're not taking a ****ing survey. The same rules don't always apply. Options might be bad on surveys, but they're not bad in video games.

All video games have multiple options. Go open up the configuration menu in any game and you'll see there are a wide variety of choices that a player can make to customize their experience. Providing players with choices is never a bad thing.
