    It is a little bit of a slippery slope I agree (I admited I dont like what I said, but I feel it is a similar path).

    I dont give a crap who made my SB gear and I dont event want to see them claim effort on it because its not something that should be so.

    I think some of the really tough gears being signed - having respect for that person I can deal with. But really get your name off my hempen trousers its not that big of a deal. And melded gear doesnt mean it was created by the melder so those are unrelateable (not directed at quote, just some people saying they want to honor their awesome melded gear).

    While yes crafters do have some challenge I don't think "forcing" people to appreciate the person is necessary. As the other classes also have challenge. (Also think U/U gear being signed would be stupid, but there are hard to get gears dropped in dungeons that are also not U/U).

    I like appreciating people by my choice not by force - hence being able to remove names (doesnt mean I will always do it, but also means I can specially for gear I may have bought off the MW by zfjefajfje the lightning brand botter).

    This did make me think of a side benefit: It makes it easier to choose NOT to buy from certain individuals, assuming you can see the signatures when buying from the wards.

    lol you mean people wont buy from bots because of their stupid ass names? :P

    I guess (taking money from RMT/Botters always makes me happy lol), but people will also buy from "cooler" sounding names then others. So if you like your name but the majority doesnt you are teh screwed out of more money then usual. Brand names are really important.

    Signing should be possible but it should be something easily applied and easily removed. Also probably shouldn't be visible when buying the item, otherwise there WILL be item signed bias (if all other factors are equal).
