people fear that all weapons will be signed, and while some people may do this i can guarantee you not everyone will. your fears are identical to mine regarding space bar jumping, there are going to be people who randomly stand in one spot and press it all day just like there are people who are going to sign every thing they possibly can.
I say branding as people with more popular names or some other connection that may not of otherwise existed, like not knowing the creator of the item, now exists with signed items.

People if given two same priced items will pick the better - in this case the difference would be a name.

And making Excalibur would be pretty badass- but dont you think a gatherer busted their ass gathering those mats? I find a forced signed system a little selfish - however being a bonus ignore-able feature I think is cool. Besides most items are shitty SB or double melds (and even sometimes the melds were done by someone else).
