Paid name changes is so ridiculous, honestly. You have to pay for what exactly?
They push a button and everyone gets a free name change (like thats something special) and they are promising the "feature" of a paid name change? I don't understand this world.

Oh yeah? You excited to give blizzard some money for something that a ton of other games (created by less affluent companies) offer for free?

I wish I was as rich as you, son

Paid name change is retarded. It should take them like a day to implement that even if it was a good idea. Apparently they have the ability to add name changes, apparently they have the ability to charge for things. They've probably spent more time discussing this announcement than it would have taken to just do it. This whole thing just gets dumber and dumber.

This kind of change takes an hour implement but takes them 3 years to do.

And the way they appreciate our patience is by charging us for the service. In essence, its like charging for water, because everyone else gives away tap water for free, but not if you go to a blizzard establishment.

do people really change their names that often? find a name and use it. There are a lot of things in life that if you don't think over will end up costing you later. They've given periodic name changes. The only issue I can see is if a player changes teams they were locked in. with the new clan tag system it seems like it's a non issue. I've been using this name on forums and games since before sc1. If you don't take your name seriously then why should blizz?

Well it's kinda a feature that games have had more than a decade ago for free. Why one would jump for joy over the prospect of paying for the same feature I'm not sure. But if the barcode phenomom is any indicator, people want far more freedom than the current system allows. And I'm not sure paying for the feature is necessarily 'listening' unless our standards have lowered exceedingly. That said, of all things that could be changed in SC2... it's pretty small.

Obviously they just don't want people changing their names all the time, in which case implementing some kind of cooldown (1 month, 2 weeks, something) and making it free would probably be the best decision. I'm guessing they are going off their WoW business model where they charge pretty outrageous (IMO) prices just to switch servers to play with your friends or change names on one character, and finding that it makes more money in the long run.

Huh ? What is so obvious about it ? And why would they want people not to do that ?

Sadly, no. I checked right after I read the article.
