Curse

I'm in the process of placing my 1v1 predictions at the Xunlai House and I've run into what I think is a pretty big issue. I'm voting for a few accounts, and I thought the 1v1 choices given should be the same for each account I'm registering for...after all, everyone should be able to vote for the same people, right? Apparently that isn't the case. There are a few entries who appear to be present for one of my accounts and missing for all the other accounts. For example, Delete Crossing Pls and Heros Useless Now are missing from all of my accounts except one. I know people often register under new names and different characters for 1v1 so it can be hard to find the people you want to vote for, but both Delete Crossing Pls and Heros Useless Now are available under those names for my one account, but not for my others. Has anyone else run into this problem?

From the other gw forum:

While making predictions for other accounts and my brothers account I encountered a problem, the names that show up once you save are not the same as the ones you can pick

It sounds like this is what's happening to you maybe? No, I have no flaming clue why it's like this o_O;

Aaand if that's not your problem, then I've no idea, sorry ^^;

Yes, I did notice that as well. If I vote for I Am Badazz, after saving it changes to My Stef. I don't so much mind that...I guess people are changing names and making things go screwy. I wish Anet made it easier to keep track of.

Yeah, people must be changing names, because if you look on the 1v1 ladder on guildwars.com, the names aren't the same as in the Tourney House. It's still easy to match up qualifier points, though, when pickin your peeps.

It is their other character names under the same account. I noticed it yesterday. It seems there should be a way for the ladder on guildwars.com to allow us to see other all character names under the master account name that they play HB with.

That would be really nice. It's already a real toss up on who to select for 1v1 because the results tend to be so random, but the fact that people start changing their names around just adds to the confusion because there is no reliable way to track it. QP isn't a reliable way to track because they can always get more QPs. Like you suggested, having a way to track their primary account would be preferable.

The problem is because people keep changing names and the system doesn't update fast enough to keep up with it.

I guess the MaT should make HB list under the account name that you register. That makes sense though so i don't foresee that happening.

Actually the problem appears to be that the candidate predictions and saved predictions use different lookup tables. You can vote for "A", see it become "B" when saved, and then see it become "A" again when removed.
