I noticed that a lot of people really wants to change their display name. We really hope that this feature would be implemented in the future. We’ve seen a lot of games who can do such thing and it would be lovely if our GW2 can do it too.
To cover up for the inconvenience, I suggest GW2 charge us. I am very willing to pay for a change of display name as our names/identity if very important for us. I know that any mistake we have made is our fault and that is why we are willing to pay.
What do you guys think?

First I believe your post belongs in the suggestion forum as this is not a issue with your account. Staff has stated that display name changes can cause problems when certain players are tracked as far as being blocked by other players, suspensions and so forth.

Other games have a unique ID for each player. I think using username as ID is not a good practice. In real life, a person can change his Name but he cannot change his fingerprint or DNA. GW2 can provide us unique ID (e.g. 1128849) and then a username (e.g. userUser.1981)

Perhaps they decided the username with the 4 digits is the unique ID.

We are heroes. This is what we do!

Indeed. You may find another Zamix, but there will never be another Zamix.9328

Other websites & software make a big deal out of keeping the user ID private/secret in order to prevent brute force hacking of accounts (“Never share your login data with anyone, including not just your password, but also your ID!”) …

… just saying.

Your email address and password are part of your login not your username or in the case of GW more or less a screen name.
