All I know is that back in Cata, some crybaby PvPer got pissed off that a RPer from KKL beat them in a PvP duel and thus our guild name got reported by them because they were a pissbaby.

And then without so much as a consideration or conversation otherwise, the guild name was immediately turned into Ruvok’s Guild, which I had to spend roughly a week or so I believe getting turned back into the Kor’kron Legion. But only after basically forcing Blizz to go check the logs of what the PvPer was saying/threatening to the guild member and how the name report was effectively petty harassment, and how we were not representing ourselves as the actual canon Kor’kron Guard and never have.

I’m not convinced it’s ever been improved nor am I convinced the CS knows how to do much of anything that isn’t on their scripts. Shit, it’s more automated than ever if anything, given how multiboxers mass reporting people get them silenced or forcefully temp banned.

So apparently Blizz suddenly cares about RP realm names

A friend told me about their friend’s character being reported for a rename. They renamed their character with the same name (as you do, since it’s usually someone reporting you for petty bullshit) and they were reported again, so they were banned.

Sucks, yeah, but apparently Blizz doesn’t really understand the problem here.

They don’t understand RP addons. 

What fucking RP realm do you play on where most people don’t RP with any RP addons?

Hey look at all these Moon Guard RPers who don’t use any RP addons whatsoever, especially not TRP.

It’s certainly not around 700+ players, definitely not, no way. 

Hey GM maybe non-RP names on your RP realm are such a problem for you because you don’t use any RP addons for custom names because WoW has an antiquated naming system and has no character profile system. 

So they don’t understand the problem of having a name for your toon that doesn’t match your RP character because they don’t use RP addons, so therefore they don’t get why picking a unique name is such a problem, so apparently it’s fine for there to be one and only one man named John in Azeroth. 

And when you try to explain that you just use a common-use RP addon to have a proper RP name for other RPers to see, you get banned. Yeah, you could put effort into making up some stupid elf name that you don’t even like, but that just takes that name away from someone who might have actually wanted it. 

…SO WHAT THE FUCK, BLIZZ

So few people don’t use rp addons idk what server this GM is from lol. Also who actually cares about that? A guildmaster of the korkron for years had the name skullcrusha and I bet that doesn’t fit lol. What a bizarre and aggressive post from a blue.

Hi im Skullcrusha and I can assure you everyone hated the name.
