I couldn’t quite put two and two together until now, but today I have come to realize that a forced name change awards players with a Heroic Chest containing 10 Experience Boosters, an 18 Slot Mithril Box and a choice of Primeval, Krytan or Profane armour sets.

Late last week my account was suspended for a name which violated the naming policy, and I was forced to rename the character which was in tension with these rules. Upon renaming my character and logging back in, I received a mail containing the Heroic Chest which (if I recall correctly) thanked me for playing the game. I thought the message was just a ‘Merry Christmas’ kind of thing and that everybody else would receive it as ArenaNet rolled it out.

The chest has now been sitting in my inventory for almost a week, and it suddenly clicked for me today that nobody else seems to have sent me this. Bringing it up with my guild in TeamSpeak, it has now come to my attention that two others have also been sent this chest over the past few months. Both of these players had a forced name change on one of their characters for violating the Naming Policy and had been subsequently sent a Heroic Chest in the mail.

Not quite sure how nobody has reported this yet, considering the amount of players who receive forced name changes.

Well, must be time to go on urban dictionary to find a good character name(s) for farming these reward chests.

It is, IMHO, totally bizarre that they would reward a person that breaks the rules, and punish a rule abiding member of the community by charging them for a set of armor that the rule breaker gets as a reward for giving his character a banable name.
What a sad testament to the common sense of the parent company.

it’s a known bug/glitch, one of my guildies asked everyone to report him for offensive character name and he did get his chest… I would be tempted to do the same if the content in the chest would actually be good… but yeah, they need to fix this
and maybe do something with the exploiters

And each time you earn a time out, it gets longer and longer.

wow this is a bit sad, but it is also tempting, how long is the first time out when you have to do a name change?
