I wouldn't mind if at the end of each season, a free name change was granted before placement for the new season occured. If you choose to not change your name during this downtime, then you have to pay 10 or 15 bucks for it. Right now begging customer service for a namechange that may or may not happen is downright ridiculous.

I personally haven't used my name change yet because I know I'll only be able to change it once. If I had the opportunity to either put a clan tag, or even pay for name changes I would definitely change my name. I just don't want to change it, then only want to change it back but be un-able. Come on Blizzard, put one or the other in.
I'm a gooner.

clan tag system is even more important, why bnet 2 has 0 clan support is a fucking JOKE.

Agree with this totally, they added many great features for customizing how the game itself looks but nothing community related at all (can't count there shitty chat setup and they even added that like six months late which is pathetic).

is it really that hard to allow name changing? enough to charge money for it?

is it really that hard compared to how bw did it?

just wondering, is it laziness? money? technically difficult? lack of hands working on d3 and other projects?

so many features missing but blizzard has been so slow on implementing them.

That's my thought as well.

As for not using the original free one:
One change and one change only makes it a rather scarce commodity. A lot of people will hold onto it because they might one day have yet another name they'd like.

In addition, while people might hang onto their name because they like it, (I'll probably hang onto Passafist forever) people still want the option to change. Even if they'd never use it, people want that ability. Heck, sometimes it's fun to change your name for a day. You might never get such epic names like Count Chocula and Dropula without the ability to name change.

imo everything should just spam blizzards site with new threads for name changes!

Or at least blizzard can read this and give free name changes every season -_-. Or let us change like once a month. But do something blizzard Jesus.

Traditionally, people could change their names on the fly by opening up the console on a whim.

Blizzard doesn't like that.

Constructive voicing of the communities opinion is and has always been the best method. Spam gets deleted rather quickly.

...this is such bullshit. "We didn't think anyone wanted it"... And I bet you think nobody wants LAN, or to be able to watch replays with their friends, or timestamps in the fucking chat, or the ability to ladder as an off-race without it affecting your main race ladder, or the ability to play across the atlantic ocean, or any comprehensible form of clan support, or tournament support, or a custom game search that actually only returns results pertinent to what you've searched for.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, I just believe that there are probably other reasons why these features don't get implemented. "We didn't know the community wanted these things" is just a crock of shit.

Agreed. It seems to me like Blizzard is just ignorant and lazy TBH.

I'd use my name change right now if I knew there was some way to change it again. As it is I'm not willing to change it if I can't ever change wit without dropping sixty dollars on a whole new game.

Let's be honest here the clan structure was one of the best aspects of warcraft 3 and to this day it's still the reason why i play warcraft 3. I dont see why a similar feature would be impossible to achieve in sc2. As seen in wc3 clans help with the growth of custom games since it adds rivalries and team games that aren't happening in sc2 customs yet still happening on all wc3 servers. Let's be honest sc2 customs are failing due to this lack, and lower league support is also lacking due to this.

Step 1: Announce future paid name changes.
Step 2: Don't implement name changes because nobody demanded it because it was already announced.

That's cool Blizzard.

Just thinking about LAN's, part of the issue with no name change is that there is no LAN support. That is, when playing with friends, you could just goof around and makeup whatever names you wanted. Like really whimsical stuff. (We were playing on a new map and the entire game, my friend was lost the entire game and didn't know where to send his armies, so he just renamed himself JonthelostSmith for the rest of the evening.) NerdAnnointing or thematic names or whatever. You get into strange moods and it's fun to rename just in local games with your friends (or grab a bunch of friends and ladder.)

That's completely gone and it's really unfortunate
