Guild Wars 2

I just got knocked out of the game for ‘unacceptable behavior’ for my engineer’s name “Lubricant and Caulk” (two tools an engineer might use). Sure, it is sophomoric humor but there is nothing overtly wrong with the name. No curse words, nothing offensive to any group, etc. I was quite proud of this one.

Anyway I thank you for letting me just change the name; but I think you are being a little over vigilant here. I’ve seen and had worse.

Maybe it’s because of this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name
A name is a word… I hope you will get kids and call them “Jef and Jhon” or something like that ….
Anyway, if they censor words, then yes lubricant may be on the black list.

It forced me out of the game and then allowed me to re-enter. When I try to use the engie it asks me to reset the name. The other characters I tried were allowed into game, though I did not try them all. If the name is not allowed so be it I will change it. Please just let me know as it sounds from what you are saying that there is some confusion here. I am fine with whatever ANet’s decision it was not my intention to challenge it. I’d prefer not to go through a suspension period.

Depending on the report it might be for that with the second part or the second part alone.

I admit I laughed at it.

None of us see a problem with the name. If you renamed and you’re happy with the name, great. If you didn’t rename yet, let me know. (I can’t give you a free rename, but if you didn’t rename we can uncensor and let you go about your business. )

And thank you for letting me know you were _not_ give a time-out. If you had been, I’d have to smack someone for that error and I’m feeling particularly benevolent today.

Then Gaile should smack someone because she’s feeling benevolent
