Do stupid player names wreck the game for you at all?
-
Moonclaw✭✭✭They dont wreck the game - except when they clog up chat with nonsense and I run out of ignore slots...... If the name is obnoxious / racist / etc I will report them on sight1 -
Venereous44✭✭✭If anything I'm amazed at names like 444ESO22... and they're usually VR12's when I see this. Its like here is a person who couldn't spend 1 minute to think of a name but they put the time in to get to end-game.
I suppose a possible solution could be a filter that uses substitutions... so say you found someone with a name that annoys you... add them to filter and then they'll become "blockedname#1" to you... or something like that. Or even better, let it enter your own names for other people. As long as you're still able to link them in chat it could work.Edited by Venereous44 on September 15, 2014 8:53PM1 -

✭Well I think we can all agree that racist names are right out.
So the queefy mcbeefstain name is a for real name? wtf. There is no bottom to the pit of depravity these guys are crawling out of.
Heals-On-Toilet is borderline. It doesn't directly reference feces, just sitting somewhere where that act might take place. It doesn't exist entirely to gross me out.
All I'm saying is, if Butt Sack hits number one on the pvp leaderboards, I am not going to be involved in a push for emp.Dear Sister, I do not spread rumors, I create them.4 -

My own name wasn't my choice, my ESO character's name was. I'm sorry if I'm shallow, but I don't hold a high opinion of people who want to be named after feces. Toilet humor doesn't amuse me. Like the poster above said, it has nothing to do with gaming competence. If I met a group of people in real life and one of them immediately started cracking jokes about defecation, I'd single him out as the one to avoid too. Maybe I'd be missing out, but first impressions and all that. *shrug*Venereous44 wrote: »How would you feel to be discriminated against just because of your name?3 -

✭They don't ruin the game for me, but I was extremely disappointed when Zenimax scrapped the "player profile" concept, which would match you up with like-minded players. I knew I would be subject to characters with dumb names.
I typically play on RP servers to avoid these players, but obviously here I cannot.3 -
MikeBob✭✭✭No, stupid character names don't wreck my game, but they do preclude my having any truck whatsoever with whoever is driving that toon around (and, by proxy, anyone they may be hanging with).
Over my years of gaming, I've come to realize that a player character with an idiotic, blatantly misspelled ('Aaraggorn' or 'Leggolass,' for example - Tolkien is surely spinning in his grave), or all lowercase name is just the same as having a great big, flashing neon sign over their head that reads, "Avoid Me!"1 -

✭Maybe it's just me but a lot of times I see stupid names as just trying too hard, in the same vein as the "xXxSephiroth-420blazeitxXx" names people choose. Again, Doesn't bother me, but sometimes its an "oh ... ok *eyeroll*" moment.Edited by BBSooner on September 15, 2014 9:08PM0 -

ZOMG, someone named Poopstain O'Fartbags is on an entirely different level than someone with a name like Raystlin Majere.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a firm believer in getting the correct spelling or not using it at all, but it doesn't require them to be a disgusting or at the very least infantile individual.

If I were Tolkien I would be rather pleased that this many years later my characters still brought so much inspiration to people they were willing to accept even a mis-spelling just to carry the name into a whole new universe

There are different reasons for avoiding people. Those with the most repulsive names ('Poopjuice' is a good example) impress me as being attention *** - they are to be avoided so as not to reward them with the attention they seek but (clearly, in my view) do not deserve.
(Getting back to reasons) There are also the unimaginative, the uninspired, the arrogant, the immature, and the list goes on ... character names can reveal a lot about the people behind the toon they created.

Not sure how merely posting about one's annoyance is a buzz kill. (And BTW, the "12" isn't necessarily the physical age.)
Now, I'm not an immersion freak, but I'd hazard to guess that it is a subset of other people who have their ambiance buzz (for want of another description) done drive-by-damage to by this "Mr. Toilet" personage, flush no doubt as he is with his own sense of self-righteous individuality.
There is no indication of a reciprocal killing of that delicious buzz others of a certain aesthetic bent evidently get from marveling at the word "toilet" in a toon's name.

✭✭✭✭I honestly think I see more stupid players names then not in this game. It is sad to see, this is such a good rp game and then you see someone come along with the name Mr. Peepeepants and it just ruins the game. The only fix to this i think would be having to choose pre generated names without choice. I would be for it.

You can't do that in pvp though. Zone is used to communicate what is going on.
