I think the Anet keyboard needs to be updated with "Ban Random Name". It could be under boredom control.

Perhaps it got banned because it's the name of a skill and someone caught it.

Ok so if they have asked this rename to be because of the skill named the same, then why aren't they asking people who also use skill names like 'Cry Of Pain' to change theirs?

On the other hand if it was set as an offensive thing to whoever reported it (I thought you needed several reports before they banned the name.) then they'll have to rename their skills as this would also be seen as offensive.

If its just banned because of stupidy to their side then yes by all means. LOL.

There was a blurb saying they banned G because too many ppl were creating G M in front of their names. Wonder if the "_G_" in triangle triggered that. Guessing "Try Angle" would have been fine.

Not only has Arenanet made the game worse in all aspects, they manage to maintain one of the worst support teams ever. I doubt any human actually reads the support emails, as it just spits out a likely response. For example, when one of my names was banned, they wouldn't tell me why, after several question-dodging answers (and I finally gave up). Also, someone emailed them about dishonor, and whether or not it was acceptable to leave RA once the timer to lose started and they replied "We can't reset your death count" and then they said something about rollerbeatles... THUMBS UP ANET

Wow. That's classic.

I would PM Gaile directly, since she now works for the ban-team.

That Anets keyboard made me laugh.

Sorry to point it out again, but Anet keep on failing their own game, and they wont ever stop failing because they already have your money.

This is hilarious. I wonder if you would get banned if you went into PvP and started spamming "I'm using Headbutt on Blahblah!"

"You were banned for excessive use of the word 'butt'."

Back in the Beta, there was an enemy called "Damned Clerics" who would be displayed as "@#$%ed Clerics".

Also, the guild "Random Ass Fools", which was created before the profanity filter, ran into some problems with being inappropriate after more then a year.
