Yes they are adding stuff.. but it's been a year and all we've had is a half assed chat system integration They've got 2 more sequels to go.. if they want people to buy them they should listen to their customer base, not ignore them, especially when stuff like name changes is an afternoons work at best for one of the interns and increases the value of the product for everyone playing, not to mention at this point a good will gesture to the player base. Well its not like they could just take that stuff and plug it in to SC2. I imagine they wanted to get the game out as fast as possible so they released it at 'good enough and we will patch the rest'. And I am fine with that. They wanted my money and I wanted their game. Now as far as how long its taking them to patch stuff in? I agree it is getting silly. | ||

It would be nice to be able to represent a clan you've created even if you're not a huge, big time professional player. | ||

I believe it was just expected sooner or later (though i guess sooner is not really an option anymore). I want this service ASAP!!!! Was it an actual name change service that was listed as coming soon or was it just the ability to change your name a second time? I never really checked. | ||

Its this kinda "I only look at excel spreadsheets" design methodology that is really leading me to believe that blizzard is falling completely out of touch with there playerbase. | ||

The concept of paying for it is ridiculous. The ability to add a clan tag should definitely be included as well, in my opinion, and if you had to pay for that I would just shake my head sadly. Honestly the problem with Blizzard is they have so many little things that just show how much they want all your money. | ||

and since I have quite a lot of people on the list with whom I just play the occasional game once a week, it was really beyond annoying to figure out who is who again. I even had to make a frickin list for that. Nevertheless I'm completely in favour of a clan-tag-system. Once again, this is something warcraft 3 already had, but I guess it's too much to ask to "update" bnet 2.0 so it contains all the features of bnet 1.... | ||

Track people? Stalking is none of your business. Track cheaters? Reports are tied to accounts, not names (which admit to duplicates), and that's handled by Blizzard. Track smurfs? Changing your name doesn't give you a clean slate on the ladder, what's the difference?

I even had to make a frickin list for that. You weren't close to the people anyway, it sounds more like your friends list was just too crowded to begin with. You wouldn't have noticed if the free name change had been in the game since the beginning and they hadn't changed names all in one wave. That is, the problem for you wasn't the existence of the feature (which is the status quo in any real game), but its delayed introduction. | ||

Yeah agreed, I like the concept of "known" players and recognizable names that don't change frequently. A clan tag system is needed though for players who switch teams. | ||

"A straw man is a component of an argument and is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by replacing it with a superficially similar yet unequivalent proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position." -Source Wikipedia How would this be worse than the theoretical paid name change with a timer? Couldn't someone pay and do the exact same thing? The issue then is the nature of the timer, and not, free/paid as many other people have already said. | ||
