Did Blizzard mention the word soon when announcing the paid name change feature?
If they did, it's perfectly fine for them to not add it even after a year.
...
Honestly though, I feel as though wanting to change your name even after you've used the free name change is just downright fickle. It's only understandable if you want to change your clan tag or if you bought the account from someone and want to change the name (<-LOL)

Welp tried nizzy's way and they just responded with telling me how to change my character name lol >>.

It's a sad state when we have to essentially beg to pay Blizzard to let us change our names.
Modern gaming is such a huge joke sometimes lol
Its so sad that Im almost at the point where the level of awful that is Battle.net 2.0 doesnt bother me everytime I have to get anywhere near it.

Whatever reasons they may be, the lack of option to do have such a possibility is an issue.

You should go create an online petition and then create a forum post on the blizzard sc2 site and have people signing from here and there
Be sure to update the OP
I suspect they may just be waiting until HOTS to release a bunch of UI updates (as an added incentive to buy the game)

oh no they are helping me use the free name change that doesn't exist anymore lol.

This is rich. A year ago people were outraged you had to pay to change something as trivial as your name. Such a minor feature should come with this type of game. Now people are absolutely begging to pay for it. Bleh.

Ugh, that sucks.
I really don't understand, my representative helped me very fast. Blizzard could open some paypal service and charge 10 bucks and literally just pay some rep 20 bucks/hour to constantly change player names. They'd still make a ton of money, and the people would be happy with literally 1 employee. Just 1 dedicated to this.

I guess Blizzard must actually be pretty busy--with god knows what--if they can't handle a name change service.

Yeah eventually you just become hopeless and apathetic that it will ever change, I guess crossing our fingers for HOTS or some big UI change is all we can do at this point.

im totally for this, ive been wanting to change the clan tag off my account for quite some time now

If there seriously is something that would get messed up if you could change your name unlimited amount of time, they should AT LEAST let you change your name before a new season.
If people are willing to pay money for a simple name change, what comes next? Extra paying if you want to use the ladder? Pay for playing cross server? (oh wait, you already have to do that, but imagine they would be capable of adding that feature) Pay if you want to use additional Bnet features such as DND etc.?
What would stop them from adding additional fees for every little feature? It makes me seriously angry first of all that costumers even consider paying for such things, but the service that blizzard provides makes me even more angry, because it's lacking and just terribad.
THIS. ABSOLUTELY THIS. Why are we petitioning for a paid name change service?
It's just changing a single fucking variable on a server. Why should we have to be charged for it, especially if Blizzard has proven that they can do it once for free anyway.
To the OP, I suggest changing the plan to "Operation Name Change" to express our disgust at the following:
- The lack of name changing services currently available apart from the single-use per account free name change.
- The plans to make name changing a premium service in the future.
It's hardly like a paid character or faction transfer on WoW where there's more complicated logistics behind it which would make the service more complicated, and I think if we petition Blizzard for a paid option, we're just gonna let them cashwhore the SC2 community more and more.

Well Blizzard makes a couple billion off WoW a year... pretty sure they just don't have the money to give us a decent battle.net

demanding PAID name changes. Paid name changes would not have flied 5 years ago, fuck we got beat down. -_-

Battle.net 2.0 has easily been one of the biggest disappointments in gaming history, perhaps only just getitng narrowly beaten by ET: The Extra Terrestrial on the Atari 2600.
No offence, but crapple.net has been one of the worst gaming networks in existence. Since replacing LAN support and support for external servers like iCCup from popping up, it had a lot to stand up for including essential features like:
- Uptime - The only time when it's down is during maintenance, and there are rarely problems.
- Latency/lag - MLG plays a prime example here. It's not very ideal for LAN events.
- Privacy - Look at the people who fucking spam progamers and make them lag like fucking hell, and look at the amount of ninja invites to chat channels. It's like I remember watching the NASL Grand Final and seeing a guy post an insult about iNcontroL (or iNmcdonaldS which is the name the spammer used to describe him.)
- Cross-region support - Nonexistent, except when they marged NA and LA, EU and RU, and TW and KR together to form 3 larger regions out of the 6 regions affected. It's not like Battle.net 1.0 when you could make accounts on multiple gateways with one CD key or external servers like PGT, WGT or iCCup where there was one server for all. Instead, ActiBlizzard are like "$60 please or gtfo."
- Essential features - Name change? Nope. Clan/team tags incoprorated? Nope. Chat channel support? Took months to introduce.
- Lack of annoying spam - Certain issues cause a fuckload of text spam.

So our solution is to spam the shit out of people who probably have no influence in the decision anyway, and so will result in nothing? I think that name changes should be allowed, yeah, but this isn't the right way to go about it.

only took you guys a year to complain about it =] You talk, they listen
