Please allow us to change the name of our characters

Wobi, you're being ridiculous. Abuse like that would not happen anywhere near as frequently as it would have to in order to justify absurd restrictions like "year long cooldown". The vast majority of folk who make use of name change would do it because they race changed using a vial of fantasia and their name no longer matches their character. It's that simple.

I pray that it doesn't happen to you then, I've seen this happen across several MMO's in my gaming history. Don't be naive, not everyone out there is nice :/
It only takes one bad egg to ruin quite a few peoples day, also several FC are stockpiling gil for upcoming housing update to there would be a lot to lose right now.

I could use the same logic here and say not everyone has bad intentions. Just make it so your new name replaces the old on people's blacklists and friends lists. People can already currently server transfer as a method of changing their names, so not allowing the service due to this reason is silly.

I personally want to race change and would love to change my name to match my new race. Nothing malicious about that, and the feature is pretty standard for MMOs nowadays.
