Guild Wars 2

Why am I being made to give up my awesome name? – Blastbutts

Am I seen as racist against posteriors?

Come on ANet…

I know how you feel trust me but there is nothing you can do. ANet decides what names are ok and what names are not period. I am currently serving my suspension for my name and have tried my hardest to talk to ANet about it but they will not respond. My advice serve the sentence and change the name and don’t waste your time trying to get answers because ANet will not respond to you.

First of all, your name is not ‘Awesome,’ it’s juvenile and silly. If I saw it in game, I wouldn’t report it, it doesn’t offend me. I would however, assume the player was about 12 years old. It’s the chance you take when you make a name that might offend someone. If enough people report it, you will have to change it. The entire thing is 100% your fault, take a short break and just change the name. I’ll never understand why people pick names like this and then act surprised when they get suspended.

Names like this? What???

I followed the wiki article about Charr and Asura naming conventions.

“In a military or professional role, charr can also refer to each other by their rank or role. If a charr is particularly notorious, they sometimes will become known instead by a descriptor that reflects their dire nature.”

“Last names: Soulkeeper, Doomforge, Splitvein, Fierceshot, Brimstone”

All two part names, descriptive of a personality trait or role in their unit. Well, my charr happens to be great at killing things. I guess I could go with something like Killfoes or Crackskulls or Smakittenoes, but Blastbutts was less harsh sounding and pointed toward his more playful nature when not in battle. I do not understand how, in a game where you frequently kill things, this could be offensive.

I mean, Splitvein? Thats much worse and graphic than Blastbutts and that is a name ANet themselves came up with.
