Why do Americans use "bot-like" names for their characters?

I have never played on an NA server, but when I watch twitch or some yt videos that are made by an NA player, usually 90% of the characters in the battleground groups have names such as k1LL3r4739, c00lguyXXX, pRoXxXpLaYeRxXxNuMb3rXxXoNeXxX etc.
I get it, when it's used in casual games like Footnite, but why in ESO?

It's not just one particular region. When I log into my EU account I often see very similar (account) names, and pretty sure it is safe to assume the Asian servers have the same thing as well.
As well mainly those with numbers I.E: "k1LL3r" would be account names, gamer tags for consoles; all which can be toggled on / off in your menus settings.

You might be onto something here. The NA-EU difference the OP observes is then probably due to the different shoe size systems. US size 8, e.g., is size 41 in EU.no CP PvP PC/EU

I don't get it, usually shoesize for males are over 40 so it should be better to act more mature, unless you are an elder player.
Or maybe is intended "american size"Edited by Tonnopesce on April 2, 2019 9:27AMSignature0 -

It's not an American thing, its a immature kid thing.Playing your character the way your character should play is all that matters. Play as well as you can but never betray the character. Doing so would make playing an mmoRPG pointless.2 -

OP makes a claim about US servers , so yeah, US sizes shoes size hardly surpass 13-140 -
Tatanko✭✭✭✭
This. I think OP is making the wrong correlation. I'm on PC-NA and the vast majority of names are actually names, even if they wouldn't be deemed lore-appropriate (e.g. Lord Walrus Kensington).I think it's more just the console people2 -

✭✭Some players believe that if their character name is a long String of letters, special letters etc. the chance they will get reported is lower.
Though they are mistaken since it is possible to report by using the account name.
It is more common for PVP players to do this.Some videos I recorded for fun: Main character:
PC EU main: Universe - AD magicka Sorcerer, Former Emperor, Grand Overlord, The Merciless, Trial Bosses Solo Champion
Top alts: Genius(stamina/sagicka Dragonknight) The Force(stamina Nightblade) and other chars.
PC NA main: The Magic - AD magicka Sorcerer

I'm American and all of my characters have racial lore names. No Call of Duty *** here.
