An hour ago I received a force name change because of my warriors character name “Rapid Penetration” How is this offensive? I based this off the rifle attacks the warrior uses. I’m just trying to make sense of this

Lol. I am sure you could use your imagination and think of some other interpretation of your character’s name. Do choose wisely when you rename. =)

This, and as a suggestion to help you avoid similar problems during rename I would refrain from using the word ‘deep’ as part of the change. It may be funny but I’ve seen people run into the similar errors in judgment after rename.

“Rapid penetration” doesn’t seem to be the name of any of the warrior’s rifle skills, you must be mistaken.

I am destruction itself. I also bake cookies.

I didn’t mean directly related. What do bullets do from rifles?

It seems that we get a few of these daily. Usually, “I meant it a different way,” or “I had no idea that [reallybadname] was really bad,” or “That’s not offensive at all!”

The name is not acceptable; it’s that simple. Looking at your account history, I simply offer that for names and in-game chat, please, choose wisely.
