Second guessing

[frostmagemari]

Are you kidding me? Have you not seen the million threads of "I messed up my character's design/starting city/name!!!!! I demand a redo!!!!?"

So many people are idiots, and I'd rather be inconvenienced for half a second than have others be stuck with choices they didn't mean to make, even though they were given ample warning/basically had their hands held through it. It's sad, but it's true.

There's SOOO many threads clamoring for MORE confirmation windows, and I think it's just best to err on the side of caution.

Honestly, that's just human nature. They didn't make a mistake, they chose something and they regretted it afterwards. I do it too, you do it, everyone does it. No one is going to do -anything- with their character model that they will be 100% happy with a week down the line. Frankly, if Square is trying to protect people against human nature, they're just in for headaches and pain.

If they -really- wanted to solve this problem for themselves... they would put in paid name changes and make that change vial thing purchasable on an account based store, and then give a bundle price to do both. Square would make more money doing things that do not change game-play in the slightest and as long as they did it right so name changes didn't screw up the friend list (or blacklist) then it'd a win/win.
