Name changing

[kogitsune]

[QUOTE=ThunderTopaz;1935328you can continue to twist my words all you like but my opinion still stands. If you want to have another name then make another character. Really though, it's not hard at all to level up a class. Annoying? maybe it is for some people. But it's still a free way to get a name you want. If they make a name change service then good for the people who want to pay to change their name. It's just that i'm not going to use it if they did add that feature. I never changed my name in any game I've played mostly because it's pretty stupid too me if you just waste money just to change a name.[/QUOTE]

Okay, that last paragraph there is exactly my point. This thread is a suggestion to add the feature. You don't want it, don't post. Go away. Calling people stupid because YOU wouldn't use it is your own concern. I was playing these games before you were born, you don't need to explain to me what a cash shop is-- which by the way is a RECENT trend. Cash shops became popular in the last five years because they make more money through what are called "microtransactions" than they did by offering a subscriber fee. This is not one of those games. If you want an example, go look at TERA.

Some of us have jobs, or in my case, multiple as well as college. I'm grateful I have time to play this game and enjoy in the first place, but to redo all the work I've already done, a third time no less because I play two active characters, simply to change the name because you find it stupid and "not a lot of work" is quite frankly, ridiculous. It's a waste of time and money to change a name, so I should waste my time and money redoing everything for 30-40+ hours of tasks I've already completed multiple times to change text above the character's head that is an emotional problem for me that happened recent after the character's incarnation.

Really.

You're an interesting one. It's funny we share the same sort of interests and hobbies, but you probably don't realize that because you're too busy arguing IN A THREAD SUGGESTING something you're denouncing. If you don't want to support it, don't. This isn't a thread to UNSUPPORT a suggestion. No one cares if you think it's stupid or a waste of money.

Going to follow Alistaire words right after I post this and leave this thread but just want to tie up some loose ends.

1. I never said people were stupid, I said the whole name change thing was.

2. I'm 20 and I've been playing mmo's for a long long time. A lot longer than you currently think. And I know of TERA. Almost everyone knows about TERA.

3. I go to a private college for Video Game Design and work. And I still have time to play.

4. I believe this is a thread where anyone can post a positive or negative opinion on the idea. If you just simply can't handle the feedback then maybe you should give up on this thread as well? I had my fun here and now it's getting boring seeing how your still twisting words. Either way it still stands that this wont pass unless a huge amount of people really want it but I just don't see that happening any time soon.

You have posted repeatedly that you think the idea is stupid and a waste of time and money. It's inferred people that make that decision...

I know you're twenty. I looked at your profile which has your birthdate. I'm much older and I had a clear idea of how old you are, and how old I am. I also noted your interest in anime, etc, EGL fashion. Hence my comment about sharing hobbies. I do my research, not blatantly complain.

I have two jobs and I'm a graphic design student as well. I don't go to a "private college." I pay my own way while I perform my own projects dealing with web design, game development and writing.

If you don't believe this will pass and it doesn't need to be bothered with. Don't. I'm entitled to defend my own opinion as you chose to do so as well. For each point that you two brought up, I've responded to, nothing more. If you don't like someone, blacklist them. If their account changes names, it'll carry over. Simple.

If it's so simple for someone to create a new character to get a name, then that's also true of people you dislike with a bad reputation, apparently. What's stopping that? Why should game features be hampered because of that? People can abuse the duty finder, abuse disconnect policies in the program, all sorts of things. They're still convenient features that were added.
