Like the guy who was incensed because Blizz had made him change his name “Fartking” to something else.
Odd thing about it in the end was that it wasn’t the “fart” the were having a problem with, it was “king”.
But it just dangles the question of “Why”? Would you actually walk up to a group of people in RP and say, “Hi, my name is Fartking.”
I mean, really?
This kind of stuff is only funny to YOU.
HOURS reporting names, guys. HOURS.
You disappoint me. You could have had a ý in your name… but you don’t.
Tuiie has a reputation for hyperbole.
I mean, I’ll report names if I see them but I don’t go out of my way looking for names that break the rules.
The most I’ll do, and I do this for the fun, is I’ll do a /who
And if I see creative, interesting or amusing names, I’ll comment to friends and guildies that are online at the time.
And that’s only done when I get BORED.
ruining peoples for cause your annoyed?
Its people like you that are scum of the earth and ruin video games.
Have you actually used the name generator? Because it comes up with some doozies that I’m pretty sure wouldn’t pass your personal approval.
with elvish having one of the most fleshed out naming schemes (since Tolkien did so much work here it can be viewed as standard really), yeah, that random name is more miss than hit really.
Here enters fun debates of if Tolkien is “canon” or what if I desired to name elves like Warhammer elves or even 40k eldar (who are also elves under a different name).
I was bored and grabbed a bunch of names from the name generator. This should say how much it is on hit and miss.
Lavick
Kitalfet
Jalidget
Piegh
Erillyndy
Auginkah
Nikelloy
Peppennikah
Steyi
Marvickimegh
Creebs
Tikel
Kittley
And those were names listed for a female Gnome (assuming the name generator checks your race if not your gender). A few decent ones, but most were “wagh! begone from this place!”
I talked with Drdoidoitgood and he approves of your post.
A problem which has been around since TBC, and it’s not going to go away, ever. Years ago I too reported the bad names, now I shrug and only report offensive names if they bother me personally. Which doesn’t happen often. C’est La vie.
If they bother you turn off nameplates. That way you don’t see their name unless you target them.
I’m more making fun of the fact that she spent actual effort on something that stupid. Who cares.
What are the names even? I’d like some examples if only to try and see your point.
I mean if they’re going around naming themselves “Hitler” or something, maybe I could understand. Still not worth a “permaban” on name choice though. Maybe make them use the generator on that one character if they’re a regular offender and then pay for a regular name change if you want it that bad. I still think that is extreme, but that’s as middle ground as I can make it lol.
I mean, I reported (tried to) a Classic guild name for an implied rape joke (“Sapped Girls Cant Say No”), but that was because it could be a harmful message to children and is extremely insensitive to women.
I guess the moral is you have the power to make reports, but use them wisely. If Blizzard keeps tallies and sees that you report every “Betty Lou” out there, they may not take your cases seriously.
Yes. Rules are rules. if you don’t like the rules then play on a server where there are less naming rules. It’s a really easy concept.
Ok I laughed. You should make sure that the people you are reporting are not in a crz zone with you for one. And some of those folks you are going off on just might be friends with someone that just happens to play on your realm, and were invited over to help them, do some quests together. And before you say well the person on the other realm should of did the inviting you should realize that, if the person who does the inviting happens to be a higher level then that’s the realm you go to. Unless that has been fixed in the last year, or two.
It’s an automated system, after so many reports a GM reviews said name.
Did you even read my post?
Ok let me make it easy for you…
I said at the time I was unaware of the naming rules.
I also said at the time I was excited about learning to RP.
Then I said once I realised there were rules about names, I moved to RP based names.
Then I said the attitude of RPers to people new to the community and people who don’t RP drove me away from it. Evidence: your snarky reply to my post.
Sounds like you need to leave these “Roleplay” servers if all you do is cry about and report names for “hours”. Like really. Very definition of a no life scum.
You would think there isn’t with all these “hours” of OP reporting people.
Oh but I do love the RP aspect of it. I just don’t go out of my way to be a nuisance for people ever, unless they’re doing something malicious.
I RP as a chad and a degenerate.
