People who use alt codes in their names lack creativity and originality and I never take their opinions/arguments seriously. Anybody else feel the same way?

I donât mind 1 or 2 alt codes in a name, but when almost every letter had one, thatâs just too much.

You can thank Blizzard for this. Not only do they allow the codes, but they also allow people to sit on names FOREVER. It doesnât matter if itâs been years since the character was logged in⊠or even if it was NEVER logged in. Once the name is taken, it is taken, FOREVER. Thereâs no way for someone new thatâll actually use it, to take it from the person wasting it. They really need to make you forfeit names if you havenât had a sub or logged into the character for a long time. At that point the game should allow new people to take it and you just rename the character if you ever come back. This would have been a good change for a game⊠which also means we canât have it. Blizzard only does stupid changes.
Only solution, other than alt codes, is to reserve many names up front, one per any class youâll ever play, and sit on them. This ensures you have it for future use. I donât like this as it means many names are reserved then never used, but thatâs what Blizzard has left us with.

These use to frustrate me a long time ago, but modern chat enhancement addons that allow for copy/paste out of the chat log (ie, whatever ElvUI does) have gone a long way towards making this easier. Also, auto-complete in the mail recipient list.
Those alt-codes are there, generally, to support other languages and I think thatâs ok, but Blizzard could probably support the player experience a bit better (in all versions of the game) here so we didnât have to rely on addons 
100% correct. Thank you for your service.
Absolutely, ignore all those degenerates.
No idea what youâre on about.
Language does not 
political ideology.
Ya I ag⊠wait a minute!
Blizzard seems to encourage alt codes though on the account I lost all my very unique and rare names I made day 1 of classic because of servers merging together. Very cool. Alt codes it is then because I refuse to have a sh*t name like pyrolordzzzz
People only got alt codes bc blizz wont release inactive names so we can avoid the ugly alt codes. >:(

I just look at it as a blemish on their personality, but as long as they donât suck at the game and arenât actively trolling me in group by being terribad, itâs not really a problem.
As far as opinions/arguments are concerned, I ignore everyoneâs equally since mine are always superior.
only reason i use them is because nearly every toon i make is named fooki so people know itâs me, even on an alt. i donât hide on my alt toons.
I donât like it, but not enough to really want anything to happen.
While I donât feel negatively towards people who use them, I donât typically like names with alt codes, and would prefer if it werenât a feature, but thatâs because they arenât typically used in sensical ways relevant to English.
