In an expansion or two AI will be imitating the voice actor to say your actual name. An option for premium accounts.

I’d prefer if they didn’t talk to me at all.

If someone calls you an SME they are about to involve you in some sort of mess to clean up,

I never understood this trend in MMOs to tell every player they’re the only one here. It’s like they’re trying to murder the immersion.
I don’t understand why they don’t lean into the MMO aspect of “Alone you’re above average but in a group you are mighty!”

Nobody is a “Champion” in this game, we are all “Epic Peasants.”
“Champion, your aid is needed”
Oh… I was called a Champion, I better help!
“Pigs are ravaging our crops, please Champion, we need your help eliminating them”
Dude… you’re just standing there at level 40… go kill those level 1 pigs yourself…ok…fine…I guess standing there is important…
-Many slaughtering of wildlife quests later-
“You have proven yourself a powerful ally Champion. Now you must face a great test”
ok cool… am I finally going to make a difference …
"A kobold that is just minding their own business has a pretty necklace that is vital to saving Azeroth. Kill the kobold and return with the necklace for a powerful reward.
So… go murder someone for a shiny and get rewarded for it? Um…ok
“Champion, you have returned!”
Yeah… the kobold didn’t want to die… lots of screaming, running, and the blood… I…I… hope Azeroth is safe now…
“This necklace will make a fine gift.”
Gift? What do you mean gift… why didn’t you just go buy something from a dwarf you psycho…
“Here is your reward”
Level 1 healing potions… dude… I’m level 20… most of my quests are killing something for their organs… I’m not a “champion” … I’m a mass murdering butcher leaving nothing but an insane amount of carcasses in the forest to rot and decay.
-Checks Mailbox-
“Champion, the dragons have returned and are far more powerful than ever. Go kill 20 dragons. But first we need you to kill 20 dragonboars for their tusks…”
No… deal with it yourself… screw you guys, I’m going home…

On one hand I agree. On the other I’m not sure how they can keep up a coherent story when there’s a sea of us. Maybe the way GW2 does it?
Gotta say though, I am definitely tired of being a maw walker/champion. Definitely miss the old days of “Hey you adventurer #489, go get some pals and do this thing.”
Alone we’re weak. Together we’re stronger than anything.

Rename your character Champion.
But I agree. I don’t like it either, lol.

But the kobold had a candle. I wanted a candle.

I don’t even want to be called “hero”. Call me what I am, a mercenary or even a “murder hobo”. No one us would be killing these threats if there wasn’t some shinny stuff in it for us

It would be cool if ai could pronounce your name or even just the title you are using. Mine is trashmaster, I would love it if the game actually referred to me as that.

So we’re all in agreement then. NPC to replace “Champion” with “Bro”

Seems a bit long. Can we call you something shorter? A nickname, perhaps?
What about… Dot?

This one drives me nuts in particular, would you get through conversations with someone by ending every statement with “BTW YOU ARE GONNA DIE I’M NOT HAHAHA”
Its unnecessary and insanely rude

If I was immortal? Yes I would.
Oh that’s champion
It’d be fun if I would visit the Blackwing Descend raid before doing any of these campaign quests in ED just to be called ‘Slayer of Stupid, Incompetent and Disappointing Minions’. 
As far as I know that title lasts for one hour.

Surprised they did not get the voice actors to speak and let recording then be training AI so AI can copy their voice so they voice actor does not have to sit to try and read off the many thousands of names we created
I’m fine with it, I’m actually a champion irl, so it fits
I hate this IRL too.
“OH, you have this knowledge on this, you get to lead a bunch of losers”
What?
