Namingway Card items?

This argument is dumb. A name change is not a get out of jail free card. In every other game where this is a thing, friends and blacklists remain even after the name is changed.

Yeah I mean all they'd to do is include it in the character log on Lodestone.

If an account gets phished by gold farmers, they're not going to bother wasting money changing names, they just grind out as much money as fast as possible to transfer before they're caught.

People who change their name to try to escape a rep, meanwhile, always get outed sooner or later.

Really on FFXI they changed the name and wasted money changing servers. Guess you didn't know about that did you.

I still do not support this idea.

How prevalent do you think malicious hacking is in this game? Phishers just get into your account to steal your gil and get out. They don't "mess around with your Free Company" and then server change where they can do it all over again. How many people have legitimate uses for a name change versus the people who would somehow "abuse" it when hacking? Also customer service has changed from 10 years ago and they can restore lost gil and items when hacking has been found, I don't know if you realize this.

Just because a car can be used to run over people on a sidewalk doesn't mean that we should ban people from driving cars ever!!!

You people come in here with the same dumb arguments and every time other people disprove it, some with more experience in game design, you just ignore them and go NANANANA CAN'T HEAR YOU.

Why are you so stuck on letting good people suffer just because of a few bad ones? Do you seriously only care about yourself? Some are deeply unhappy about their names, but you just go "lol your fault suck it up babies" all the while "wah I'm scared the big bad trolls will change their name and I won't be able to hate them forever". The bad ones don't even get anything substantial out of it. Blacklists won't disappear. Logs of their potential thefts, phishing, hacking, whatever, also don't disappear.

The only person that name changes affect are the people who desire them, and you're giving them all the middle finger by saying they don't have a right to feel comfortable / happy with their own toon - mature, considering you keep claiming this is for the sake of justice or some such nonsense.

can we have an answer on this topic Devs, please?

If money is the problem then make is something you buy. $10 - $20 for a name change far outweighs the cost's unless you have some old cheap servers that collapse when something is tweaked.

In fact I think this could raise revenue, the only question is if it can be the done with the current state of the servers.

Fully support this please add this feature

I'm sorry a bad bad person hurt you and then changed their name. Or something.

This hasn't yet happened and it's been going on for this long? Yeesh. I wanted to swap from Moon to Sun while maintaining my Miqo'tedom but it ain't gonna cut it if I can't change my name no matter how subtle the change has to be. I still used a fantasia out of stubbornness to look sort of like how I wanted to look now... however disgruntled as I was (I support making it a tag on to those potions rather than a distinct item). It can't be that hard to implement its functionality.

I can't wait change my name ruby is not really a guy name
