"Guys, if the community supports the feature enough, say, 2,000,000 posts showing support, we'll add a feature that literally takes 10 minutes to add." How obnoxious is this... It's equivalent to saying "dance for us, peasants, and maybe we'll throw you a bone." | ||

The point here is that Blizzard needs to stop being coy about name change. It's almost a tease at this point. People are claiming that brood war had name change support, all I was saying is that it let you make new accounts at will which isn't the same thing | ||

Nonetheless, if it's a design decision not to allow new accounts to be made, then surely name change is the solution. | ||

Either that or a pay system where you can change anytime but for a price. | ||

The only addition is the payment system, which they already have, since bnet 2.0 is a storefront. They even already have the field in the database which stores the number of name changes that you have on your account... There is virtually no cost to implementing this. Source: Software engineer I concur with this. It's quite obvious they already have this implemented (since we all got 1 free name change). I'm really baffled at how having more name changes would be difficult to implement unless they designed their back end in some really bizarre way. Look, people need to stop saying "Whatever Blizzard does I'm sure is right" or "We don't know because we're not Blizzard". Computers aren't magic. There is not magic in this or super secret technology, and there are plenty of people here that can understand the technology side of this. A name change should be a trivial thing to implement. Edit: Also this whole thing is really pathetic of Blizzard. | ||

He says it's harder to implement a repeatable name change than a 1 time name change. There's also the "entitlement" guy who claims we can't know how hard it is. | ||

You obviously don't know what you're talking about. Do you realize just how complicated it is to change your name? Its not like its implemented already. Just the data behind "/dnd" must have been pages long considering how long it took them to implement it. /sarcasm  The best part is that when they finally do add some basic features (Like the ones that stops you from auto accepting every single invite from every random stranger in the game, which they're adding in patch 1.4) they actually need to run it a month on the ptr to make sure it doesn't bug out  | ||

No clan support is in the works??? Starcraft 2 is supposed to be the ultimate e-sport, but it's built on a piece of crap known as bnet 0.2 | ||

My opinion: A lot of people believe this should be free and that blizzard is "milking" the cow. Imagine if this feature would be free and unlimited ? The internet is already filled with assholes and stream cheaters imagine if they could change character code/portrait/name every day ? A long time ago I thought blizzard was greedy but they are doing us a favor by not giving every dick on battle.net a chance to spam anonymously So just make it a once a month or once every 3 months thing, and if you want more you pay. So fucking easy to do. | ||
