should SE delete characters that were never used

[Imoen]

Sooo the average player would notice ... what exactly? I don't know about you but everything is VERY snappy for me even when I was on Hyperion.

Like I said previously, if Square decides they need to prune, let them decide. I however personally, can not sit here and listen to players requesting a feature, dramatic as auto-deleting characters, based on partial knowledge or because they didn't get their name, without speaking up. My point being, if it doesn't need to be done, it shouldn't be done. It should be Square telling us they need to prune if they need to, not players rallying to implement it, not knowing if it needs to be done or not.

As far as the "Naming Right" thing is concerned. People that are generally running into this issue are violating that... maybe not all, but most.

Also--- below in bold, the Original Post.

someone created a character with the name i want. it was created long ago but never played. i can never use that name until that person deletes that character. do you think SE should remove characters like that?
