This probably was not intended by any rights.

If person 1 becomes inactive for a long time, but still has the character with the name person 2 wants, is it justified that person 2 doesn't get the name they've wanted?

Edit: Sorry it's worded weird, It's pretty late :3
I think the rules during World Merge were giving the priority first to active players and then to oldest players.

So if someone have your name but is inactive, you will have priority. But if two players want the same name and are active, then whoever picked it first have priority. That had to be done since current XIV have a lot of dormant players.
