Sea Wolves aren't bots

SE didn't think out those names very well. They really do look like bot names. But why call someone a bot, if they talk.

They thought it out just fine. They're named using an archaic Germanic-themed word list. Like all the races are each named based on a different archaic real world language or culture.

If you take into account vowel shifts you can can even parse some of the names for their meanings without looking at the dictionary:

Ahldskyf .... ahld=old, skyf=ship
Rostnsthal .... rostn=rusty, sthal=steel
Bloefhis .... bloe=blue, fhis=fish
Rammbroes .... ramm=ram, broes=chest (via breast)

You are missing the point. The game is played by modern people that interact with every day internet. When you think you are being too smart/smug it will probably backfire. Certain words from old languages do not mean the same. I bet if you showed those letter combinations to most people outside of MMOs they would probably think its a captcha.

We're not talking about people outside of MMOs. We're talking about people inside MMOs. Specifically this MMO. Which introduces you fairly early to at least a few characters with consonant clusters in their names that people aren't used to seeing on a daily basis. It's a fantastical setting. If a player playing this fantastical game is put off by encountering some fantastical names, that's not on the devs.

I had a long post. But you will never understand. Keep playing with names people associate with bots. It sure made the OP happy.
