I really hope they add it.. =_= but knowing blizzard it'll take a long long time even though the code is only a few lines probably (considering they've coded a similar feature on WoW) Well it's already like 3 times the size of this one, and grew 2 pages in the time it took me to write a response.... | ||

I've been very very impatient to when this will be implemented.. -_- Absolutely, we should spam. I'm generally quick to defend Blizzard from charges of being evil/stupid/hating e-sports, but if they think not enough people want this, then we need to change their minds. Let's start pressuring for replay-with-friends, too! | ||

As stated in the posts they haven't implemented it because "not enough people have asked for it", not because it is hard. It doesn't really make sense why they haven't implemented a paid name change service though...more money for them. It's really illogical for them not to do it either way. | ||

If/when name changes come along, they'll probably be $20. Pay a little more and you can just get a brand new account. Even if it's banned, people can simply find cheap accounts else where. If someone wants to pay to be stupid, let them pay to be stupid, or let blizzard provide an actual fix to stream cheating. edit: quoted wrong post. cant even find it. oh well.

Forcing people to change their names by having to buy an entirely new account seems plausible. I'm sure they make way more money from that anyways than a small name change fee. I certainly wouldn't doubt blizzard would do it, either (purposefully force people to buy more accounts). | ||

Sadly, even doing this, we'd still get the same thing we always get from Blizzard when things are addressed publicly. "That's something we're looking into." "We are planning on releasing that at some point so keep your eyes open." I don't blame them for not wanting to leak all their secrets and such. However, the most simple things like a name change (which is already there...people have used it...I have used it) not being available for something reasonable, such as...once per season, is just downright ridiculous. BNet 2 has a lot of potential but I just don't think Blizzard cares too much to invest a whole lot into it. It's a one-shot game. People buy it once, then they have it forever. Their cash cow people pay them $15 a month and obviously makes them much more money. Sadly, money is the only thing that speaks in the business world so seeing basic functions like replay sharing, clan support and all that are things they can just step aside or put on the back burner until eternity if they want. The only way to show dissatisfaction in their product is to stop using their product. Which I don't believe anyone will do. | ||

Would it be so difficult to import a similar system? No, no it wouldn't. Not with the skilled programmers they have. Something like that is essentially trivial. | ||

Blizzard/Activision Marketing team has learned time and time again that consumers will pay hand over foot for features that should have been implemented day 1. Blizzard also knows that they will make more money from the people who will buy the game multiple times because of server/name changes. I know hundreds of people (thats not even an exaggeration) who own multiple accounts because of this. Now you have a front line agent who has just received a fucking mass email to answer the above question with that statement for viral marketing ect. Nothing you say or do will change the speed of which they will release the feature. Please for the love of god stop being bronze at life. | ||

Service reps in wow often say there is nothing they can do for hacked accounts but if you push to talk to accounts managers or someone else on a different day and you'll get a speedy response that your account will be restored. I'm sorry but 1 persons anecdotal phone conversation isn't suddenly going to turn me against a company that has been tried and true to trying to keep its customer base happy. | ||

I'm less pissed off at blizzard than you seem to be at all of us. Maybe a unified public outcry will actually get some gears moving in blizzard. Weirder things have happened. Now quit being a dick just because this is the internet. | ||

Same, I remember this game that was pretty good a long time ago, you could change your name whenever you wanted and do a bunch of other cool stuff. I think it was called Broodwar or something. Set a cool-down or some type of limitation, but paying to change text from one name to another is just ridiculous. I guess that is just asking too much though. | ||
