"I'd really like this..." [Gifting Strangers]

If anyone out there could spare an Identity Repair Kit, I would be more than grateful. (EU player here) <3

I’ve been playing for a long time now, I main a human guardian whom I love dearly and would be extremely unhappy to part with. Back when I created her I thought that I wouldn’t mind having a ‘punny’ name, so of course I had to name her ‘Alcohealic’.
Gross, I know. I have remade a lot of my characters because of their punny names, but I just can’t stand the thought of deleting her.

And with all my money going to aiding new players (I give out small bundles of food, dyes and inventory bags. Even a few coins at times), I simply won’t let myself prioritize renaming her over helping newcomers.

All my newer toons have names that fits the lore, and I can’t even begin to describe how much I am loving it! I enjoy running around as Mentor ‘Tavros Inktail’, or Mentor ‘Mhess the Saboteur’. Mentoring new players is in fact something I love doing :D But being Mentor ‘Alcohealic’… I can’t welcome new players with such a name. :/

She’s soon going to have her second birthday, and so I wish she could be renamed something more.. human.

Thank you in advance! <3

Saving Pet Names

Why have they not fixed this issue yet?

It seems really straightforward technically. The names can be stored on local files. When you log on, and whenever you select a new pet, the client would send the name(s) to the server where they would be validated and then stored in the database. No more server side storage than now. Not much extra processing compared to now. It doesn’t matter if the local file is broken since the data gets validated before use.

I wish they’d, at the very least, remove the word “juvenile” from the default names. Numerous are the times I have moused over someone’s pet in the field, saw the name “Juvenile [something I don’t have]” and gasped with delight, only to be disappointed seconds later when they scamper off in the care of their current master.

And to add to the problem you also get the “Charm” interface when you are near other rangers pets, even though you can’t charm them.
