I'm not "being clever". It is legitimately weird that you would take the time out of your life to report people's names because you don't like them.

I know I don't have unlimited time to play like I did was back when, certainly not enough time to take on a side gig as name police.

But how long does it take to stew and be salty about a name you saw?

Is this a thing you're all doing? Fucking madness, I tell you.

You're blowing this out of proportion. The scenario usually goes:

See stupid name
Think "That's a stupid fucking name"
Right click > Report name > Enter

Move on

It has taken me significantly more time to talk about this here than the entirety of the thought and actions I have taken in reporting quite a few names.

I don’t know if I’ve ever reported a name. It would have to be egregious or make me roll my eyes after that fucking alliance mage killed me in my 40s (I’m looking at you Gnomersexsual).

But why? You clearly didn't choose to play on an rp server, why do you give a fuck enough to fuck up someone else's day? Is this just 4d griefing in 2019?

Larger question, why the fuck is Blizz humoring this nonsense?

I played on an RP server for years, what the fuck are you going on about?

That aside, what the fuck do I care about "someone's day" when some dipshit decides to name themselves Douchenozzlexxx84? Fuck 'em. They decided to present themselves as a dick or a retard, and they'll be treated like one in turn.

Is it really them who is the dick or the retard in this situation?

In the context of an RP server whatever, you agree to the rules when you join up. Outside of that you're definitely just being a faggot if you're engaging in that shit.

The normal/less time consuming way to act would be:
See stupid name
Think "That's a stupid fucking name"

Move on

Thinks people getting annoyed by names and reporting them is a waste of time
Gets annoyed and spends time complaining about people reporting peoples' names

Can't explain that

I actually find some of them clever and get a giggle out of them, others are like whatever. I to this day have never reported anyone in any game ever. To me its fucking dumb. I guess I would report someone if they were blatantly cheating or some shit, but aside that, who gives a shit if someone called themselves xxxtoke420xxx?

Its like a sign off in the distance that says stay the fuck away, retard here. If he is reported and renames himself to Gandaleaef well, we dont know that this dude is a retard at first glance, do we?

I only report stupid names that are obviously against the TOS. If it's funny, clever, or at least attempting to look like a normal name: It doesn't bother me. If it's some faggot with a name about weed, politics, edgelord offensive names, or things along those lines, and it's low-effort: It gets reported.

Oh I can explain it, I'm "at work". Waiting for scans bro.

idk, seems like an arbitrary grouping and arbitrary standard, and the TOS just says "dont do offensive speech, harassment, or hate speech". You're talking about taste, not standards.

Ya i dunno i don't think i'd ever report a name in an online video game. What's the point? I don't have to associate with those people if i don't want to and it sure as fuck didn't cause any harm to me.

But then again i don't let this shit bother me IRL either. Wear your maga hat or your blue hair with your feminist T shirt idgaf, shrug.

Live and let live i guess.

You somehow managed to connect MAGA, a current day purely political slogan, with Blizzard's mostly endearing references to games, movies, music and comic books?

Good job.

I thought Leadsalad Leadsalad analogy wasn't great, but couldn't be bothered to reply. The logic is the same, a meta reference can be immersion breaking - whether it's a political slogan or a pop culture reference. But at this point most of the current Classic playerbase isn't old enough to know what Spraggle Frock is a reference to etc

Only issues with names I've really had are the ones that have the oddball markings to them. Especially when you need to message them or invite 'em to the guild.

If there's one thing we can agree on, it's fuck those people.

I just don't, thankfully I don't think we have any of those retards with the ascii horseshit names in the guild, but I will check when I log in next and kick them.

I don't wonder if a fire mage named "Feelthebern" would receive the same treatment.

I'd legit play a fire mage named BurneySunders. If I cared to play this pile of garbage at all anymore, that is.

edit- wait, maybe BurneyCinders is better
