Could be, but I'm hard to offend.

I was creating a new Char last night and why is it Wormtongue is banned?

Why would it be unreasonable? You knew it was going to happen when you were giggling away to yourself making it.

If you have to question it, then it's probably offensive.

Yes, ANet is overreacting, and there's not really anything you can do about that.

Then it is obvious you still don't get it. You are still trying to be "funny" about this.

Why couldn't you just use a "normal" name in the 1st place? It isn't about if it offends "me". As a parent with a child and several nephews that play this game, I dont want them seeing this stuff. Every time this comes up the offending party thinks it is offending the person that reported them. That rarely is the case. What offends me about these character names is that the person behind the name was idiotic enough to think it was "cool".

The question I always have when these threads come up is, why? Why did you choose that name? Did you think it was funny? Did you think it was cute? Did you think everyone would think you were cool for getting around the filter?

Curious if avoiding the word filter with names can get you banned.

It's not offensive to me at all. But I don't think having a dead dude as your pimp is very healthy.

You were probably just banned for annoying the admins that check for dumb names.

Closed.
