I also don't think a system like this should be implemented just because someone is miffed that a popular character name is taken. If it benefitted the actual game and community as a whole in some way, then I'm all for it but not because a few people want to be named the same thing as a character from their favourite TV show or game.

Not to mention that simply deleting level 1 accounts that are inactive might not necessarily free up a name. I have an alt on another server that I made to play with a friend, said friend never joined the game so that character is level 1. My FC mate also has an alt with the same name as his main on another sever and, you guessed it, its level 1. Just because a character is level 1 doesn't mean its on an inactive account.
No one is talking about deleting accounts...just changing the name due to excessive inactivity. And the inactivity can be on the service account itself rather than the character. Honestly all I'm seeing is "We're scared SE might not do it in a way we like and we enjoy holding certain names hostage on characters we never play anyway so we are against this." IMHO, even if said level 1 character is in an active service account, if it hasn't been played in a year+ it deserves to have the name forcibly changed to accommodate others who will use the name and actually play.
