weak reason for a complaint, with all the other serious issues at hand..

and considering it somewhat a medical term is crap.. rethink F*** YouIhaveanemia.. would be a reason.. but a simple word with depth behind it does not constitute vulgar or obscene

at least that is how i see it

different eyes my friend, different eyes.

Anemia is offensive? People are so weak and sad these days. I saw someone on my server named Ballsack. I bet someone reports him.

I guess the Devs have a little free time. I haven't had a single complaint or in-game comment that I was offending anyone. I also play well with others and have been in a few groups. Not a single player gripe.
I am pretty sure they just pay people to do this.. Its called a corp. X amount of people do this X amount of people do that So forth.. Has nothing to do witht he Devs.

I don't see how that is offensive to anyone, even if they have anemia to be honest!

Yes, this has me worried for my Inquisitor, Darth Malignant. To me, it fits perfectly well with the rest of the lore, ala Sidious, Bane, Maul, Plagueis, Nihilus, Scabrous, Ruin, Karnage, etc. Besides, in a world where names like Solo, Skywalker, Mace, and Savage are common, it's not like using common words is lore-breaking in any way.

For the OP: As someone who tutors Hematology, I love your name Anemia and would sign a petition for you to get it reinstated.

Edit: Don't forget:
Wedge Antilles
Greedo
Grievous
Salacious B Crumb (One of my personal favs)
Biggs Darklighter
Maris Brood
Talon Karde
Nute Gunray
Droopy McCool (Yeah, hes real)
etc.

Lets face it, the Star Wars universe doesn't really have any naming conventions to speak of. Crazy and off the wall is the norm.

While I think it is important for there to be mechanisms in game to report players for abusive behavior, it is equally important to punish players for using reporting itself as an abusive behavior.

The easiest way out is to stick with the policies to begin with. Being reported by ******es does not exonerate you in any way.

That thread just reminded me of a guy I saw recently named 'Seksyouhard'...

The rules for the movies/tv/books are different than for an MMO.

Though I'm sure somebody at Legal will vet the names just to be sure.

Comparing anemia to a serious disease is as weak as this person getting a violation for it.

If the name was sickle cell anemia, I would understand it more, but still find it like calling a character asthma.

I'm offering to send some B12 supplements to the touchy folks behind this.
You too can get over your iron deficiency!
