General Discussion - You're lucky GGG doesn't name you "Jhon Doe" - Forum

As a professional woodsman I collect small bundles of wood for a living. I would find it highly unfair and offensive if I was not allowed to name my characters after small bundles of wood because of such a rule.	Posted by Grimmhammer#4711 on Jan 15, 2015, 5:32:54 AM Quote this Post

My Brother in Law's last name is De Jesus. That would be banned right?	Posted by Deleted on Jan 15, 2015, 5:42:50 AM

Dunno, OP is saying something about political & religious names not being ok... Well that's quite funny, because there are millions of people with the name Mohammed. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.	Posted by rockmassif#5784 on Jan 15, 2015, 6:05:54 AM Quote this Post
" MoonYu wrote: My Brother in Law's last name is De Jesus. That would be banned right? Thats the fine line between where a name begins and religion ends. People should be able to use their real name anywhere if they so choose, if some guy is named jesus then so be it. Doesnt GGG have religious freedom on here?

I just hope that you know that name is not unique to the prophet. Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.	Posted by rockmassif#5784 on Jan 15, 2015, 7:30:13 AM Quote this Post
" solwitch wrote: I go on a small vacation and you people seem (long as I been on the forums) every two to three months come up with the most irrelevant arguments... If I were GGG naming policy would not be discussed nor would requests be allowed. If you want a "name" persona... religious, sexual, political, race, prejudice, racist etcetera "name innuendo's" should be banned with account. That's right banned accounts for stupidity and nonsense. Common sense people... GGG a if you like just upon character creation make sure there's a note, "please make sure your exile name follows rules and guide lines we have a zero tolerance." I'm not sure if it's the new player base... But now I'm starting to really believe failed developers are bringing here their brood of misfits. I'm to new to the game to really see a lot of the stuff I've read on the forums but personally with a free to play game I would take a hard line but fair approach. Clearly list the rules and punishment for violating them, but I would ban accounts that violate the rules - often and loudly. Public humiliation tends to keep the sheeple in check much better then behind the scene actions. Now failed developers, sounds like you mean to say failed games are feeding their WoW generation of retarded game players into PoE. Thats not really a bad thing for GGG, but for the other players it is. Those 'gimmi gimmi gimmi nao!!' type are annoying to play with, which is why you just click ignore whenever you run across one of them.
