Legacy name... grrr

The link I got it from is closed. (yeah it were the old swtor forums)

About not even knowing what legacy was, back in november they already said the name would go across all your chars on a server. It does not say permanent in this link but the post where I got my info says "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator". My guess is the old forums are goners but saying you did not even know what legacy was prior to december...well...there was info given before launch. You only needed to look.

and I'm beta player plus pre-ordered back in 2010 with my local retailer and yes I also played pre-launch.

You are correct that info was not available till later in game. However there were interviews with developers about legacy name and the importance of them. Not to mention several posts on these forums about it as well. All it would have taken is a simple Google search to get info on legacy name!

I guess being silly is never a good thing.

FYI there is an in game option to turn it off in game. Problem solved!

Actually that's the worst way considering you had no idea whether it would be permanent or not.

This whole quote is a bit self-defeating. Obviously if it's permanent there won't be a "next time", genius. Quit being so condescending, it's obnoxious.

Those of you who are bothered by poor Legacy name choices, I can almost guarantee you they will eventually allow you to change it. In the meantime, just go to options and turn it off so no one has to see it.

The sheer ammount of rerollers that picked legacy 2/3 times claim otherwise. There are still loads of people that make the same misstake on a new server. So yes that "next time" is a fair comment.

This goes to what I was saying in my other post.. People thought the legacy name was a last name.. Which is how many people were picking it.. As a last name.. So it had to fit all your characters.. Again no info it was permanent.. So nobody saw harm picking one and if they didn't like it, they would change it.. Nobody knew it was permant until after the fact.. Which makes it a Bioware issue.. We the player did not have enough info to make a proper permanent choice.. I would have take different steps had I known it was permenant.. As would a lot of other people..

You did not bother to read where i said that there was also a topic on the forum where it said it was permanent but it got removed right ? (old swtor forum comment ?)

Just saying...

but no worries, legacy namechange will come. Most likely for a price. It is only on their very bottom of a to do list in this game...

This attitude makes me want to wretch. Every problem you have is not immediately the problem of businesses you associate with. These people work for Bioware. They don't work for you. You are a customer of Bioware. That does not mean that you own the company. If you do not want to use their product because of this feature you are free to cancel your subscription and find some other game to play. They do not personally owe it to you to act on every whim you have.

Being the customer doesn't make you the boss. It makes you a customer.

Have you ever heard of the world entitlement?

This is what it is.

Do you want to know how people with attitudes of entitlement are viewed?

I'll give you a clue....it isn't viewed as a positive trait.

There has been a discussion on this multiple times. (which was simply found in search)

That's basically what it is. A last name. They want you to treat all the characters you have on the same server as one big "family". And just like you might be stuck with a crappy last name in real life, you're stuck with yours here too. For now, at least. I envision a time when, just as in real life, you will be able to legally change your Legacy name. And also, just as in real life, it won't be free either.

You think you've got it bad here in SWTOR? Imagine my poor friend in real life. Last name Butkiss. No joke.
