Feedback talk:User/Stigtrix/Naming rules and tips when creating a character

Your idea is ok, but still its fun to see "stupid names"running around. They show you more who is that player actually is. Personally, i liked the name you put there Fried Rice and also Ipwn Uhard. I don't consider them offensive, but just funny.

Suggestions? Sure. But isn't st00pid in the eye of the beholder?
I like your idea to offer suggested names for characters (e.g. based on race, class, or perhaps something else). A lot of people I know hate to have to be creative about what to call a toon.

However, I do not support enforcing any rules on naming other than what ANet already does (and, actually, they do suspend and even ban people for repeatedly trying to avoid the spirit of the EULA on this). (BTW: they only review an account for name violations if someone reports it; there are just too many new toons being created each day for ANet to vet them all.)

I think it's up to ANet to provide a great game and a safe community in which to play in. After that, I think the rest is up to us: how we play, with whom we play, whether we role play or play ourselves, and, last but not least for many, how we name our characters. — Tennessee Ernie Ford ( TEF ) 19:16, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Nope x)
When you force players to make a name that isn't funnny/dumb, you'll just end up with dumber ones.. So like, since a lot of people will be wanting to play the game, coming up with apporpiate names will be super duper omega ultra uber hard. And you'll end up with names like Trognor Powerfeeler or Greg Verybrave. Like the first person at the top said, stupid names are pretty entertaining, especially when you target people "I'm attacking Your Own Mother!". --Eclipse143 21:30, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
