Why do themselves out of even more money? I'd bet a really significant fraction of paid name changes would come from people switching clans. | ||

I mean common... if you are a professionel and your team wants you to wear a clan tag, whats holding them from buying you a new game ?

And personally, i feel like it's a little shortsighted to be like, "well, no one used their one free name change, therefore no one must want a name change???" considering i'm sure they've been asked a decent amount (although based on their statement, it's not like they've received a staggering amount of requests | ||

They might implement the name change first, make some money off it then use clan support as a HotS feature. | ||

I actually agree with the fact that it will promote more scamming and noob behaviour because the perpetrators will know they can just change their ID and the majority of people would not know. I actually didn't think about this point until I saw his post, and I sort of agree with him in that respect. Name changes are not ALL good, | ||

Name changes are not ALL good, You also have to realize that some (semi-)pros don't want to drop out of GM league, considering it's basically impossible to get in with a new account. | ||
