Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

upon logging in with my Ranger the game tells me that I have to rename my char before I can continue(see attachments).

So far I haven’t received a message that the Name of my Ranger(Easy Claudia) would infringe anything.

Why is it that I have to rename my charakter?

Thanks a lot in advance for a quick reply.

;)

You will have to submit a request to the CS Team and discuss the action with them. Nothing those on the forum can do to help.

Good luck.

thx a lot, will do m8

Ach nevermind…just renamed her to Lazy Ludmilla, hope that fits the narrow perspective of whoever reported me(I guess this was the reason) xD

Welcome to the world when girls can play video games, too

Can you think of a girl who would willingly be called “Easy”?

Right on the Money Tom Gore

@Tom: I’ve been living in a world where girls do play video games for more than 20 years now, thank you.
I’m not a native english speaker so I might not have been aware of haw attrociously abusive my name must have been.
I was implying with the name that it is an easy class to play easy content with, was meant as a joke an certainly not to upset anyone

@Renn: What are you? Tom’s personal fanboy?

Anyway, renamed the char so who cares.

Have a nice day.

They probably took the ‘Easy’ part of your name as ‘easy’ to get into bed.

I would send a ticket and try to solve on support.

Yeah. Calling someone “easy” is usually meant as an insult about the person’s sexual life. So, that may be way it was reported and whatnot.

Pathetic! Yet daily I see names referencing drugs, slaughter, satanism, and other subjectively more offensive character names run about with abandon.

Sorry for the loss of your character name, OP.

That.. doesn’t mean those are just fine?
They just didn’t get reported yet, or the support person who happened to look at the report didn’t find them as bad.
“Subjectively offensive” is all fine and dandy, but this game is for kids 12 and older, so that’s what they use to judge whether or not a name is okay. And even I’d at least facepalm at a character named “Jesus Sucks” or something, because really? Very mature.

Sorry Anet but that name isn’t going to hurt anyone. They made me rename my alt because I had the grossly inappropriate game ruining name of “King Jamie” after having it for over a year. Game breaking launch bugs are still going unaddressed. Great game, horribly managed.
