Naming characters Feedback

why arent more allowed to be named the same? we got a unique account and character ID, so character names shouldnt be the limit

let multiple people have the same name

very surprised on Day 1 the name I wanted to use was already taken and we had to use a unique name
I'm OK with there not being 15000 Khaleesi's in trade for us having to be a little creative with names

on the first day within 10 minutes all the names i had though up before hand was taken, you think there are good names that arent taken? i dont wanna name a character ZzdjsXoxo because there are no names left
Honestly, I think you're exaggerating a bit. I've made 3 characters and never had an issue getting something acceptable inside of a couple minutes. Yeah you might not get the *exact* name you wanted, but the devs have bigger fish to fry.

you're experiencing that 2 months into an EA and you're saying it's fine... wait until the game has been out awhile.

Why they made unique names at all even for an EA is nuts
It's bad. We all know it's bad. GGG's just too lazy to fix it.

The game's not even out yet and it's already difficult to find a name. Imagine 2 years from now. New players will spend their first 10 minutes in the game trying to find a name they don't hate.

Nothing breaks immersion faster than having to name your character LOLOCTOPUSSSS before you even log in. Not a very fun or exciting first impression.
