okay, better question. why was it temporary?
LEO: I for one appreciate Thirk's posts, as I believe the majority of TI users do. He's actually contributing, whereas all I see you do is troll other people's threads and ask ridiculous questions (that demonstrate how little you know about F2P). Do everyone a favor and stop posting here, as you're giving TI a bad name.
I would consider being able to change names a positive effectWhile bringing news of exploits to TI is in fact contributing, I think the real question is whether or not the contribution has a positive effect on the community.
Exploiting GMs (which could possibly get them in trouble) and cheating Blizzard out of $10 simply because you want a name change is positively affecting the TI community?I would consider being able to change names a positive effect
Here's a thought: A player named himself Eliot a while ago. Earlier this month, people were confusing him with the Eliot from TI and he was getting spammed about it. I helped him change his name and remove the confusion from naming his character Eliot.Exploiting GMs (which could possibly get them in trouble) and cheating Blizzard out of $10 simply because you want a name change is positively affecting the TI community?
Ahem...Lich, The mods don't care, most of the players don't care. Why do you care so much?
I mean, the only negative side effect from IAT's endeavors lately is you being a little bitch about it for your own, self righteous cause. Maybe this place isn't what you thought it was? Maybe you're holding everyone to a higher standard? If other people get banned, who cares? You actually think IAT has the power to ruin this forums reputation on his own? You flatter him.
Also...Personally, I feel that though this could possibly have some negative effect on the community, I doubt it would be very large or even noticed at all.
It's not your problem so stop making it your problem.It's not your problem so stop making it your problem.
How exactly is it cheating blizzard out of $10 if they don't even allow f2p to pay $10 for a name change.Exploiting GMs (which could possibly get them in trouble) and cheating Blizzard out of $10 simply because you want a name change is positively affecting the TI community?
Yeah, this. Honestly, if we had the ability to name change we WOULD be paying for name changes.How exactly is it cheating blizzard out of $10 if they don't even allow f2p to pay $10 for a name change.
