Guild Wars 2

As in the title, anyone knows the answer to this?

So that people start to report others hoping they’ll be able to get their character name?

And get banned themselves for abusing the report function?
Not likely

@OP: Since appeals are possible, I doubt that the characters are deleted/renamed due to the possibility of such players being gone for months and then noticing the unfair banning late. No reason to screw over these players. Gold sellers and such don’t take any good names, and those are the only ones I can truly see being banned + account/chars deleted. So the net effect would probably be that banned players do keep their character names.
