I'd join that

Not broken, you just can't add a player to ignore through the right click menu. Which may cause some problems, if you want to ignore a player with cyrillic letters in his name

well, hilarious embarrasing? we had a guild called pink rabbits ! xD

Wow, it's 2015 and people still define themselfs on superficialities and outer appearances.

Breaking news: Skin color, nationality and what supernatural powers someone believes in, doesn't make him/her a good or bad person. It's whether you are an asshole or not...

When people try to offend, they rarely want to offend themself.

Behind the wall of the internet its creates what is called the online disinhibition effect. This is the 'you can't see/hear me, I can't see/hear you so you're not real' psychology. We underestimate the effect body language and changes in voice tone can have on how we interface with others. Companies come down hard on anything that could be deemed offensive because it feeds into this cycle that you don't need to have normal social conventions online. What this inevitably leads to is the usual chaos you get on social media and cyber-bullying. Its a real big deal to mmos which is why they hit it hard.

I agree with others, don't identify yourself by appearance, it reinforces the notion that there is a 'default' state of being. It's utter bollocks.

In my opinion, It not a question of me, you or them...The thing is to find a way to not "shocke" others. We are not all the same age, generation... I think we should let the devs and the devs team decide which way they want to take with communaughty...They could inspire themselvs with other private servers from others games.
There's a diction: "Your freedom ends where other's begin".

If people didn't get so offended by religious/ racist / sexual things those people using them would soon get bored and leave the internet.

Shrug and move on. Or slay those little bastards on sight .. .

Also there should be a line drawn when entering an online fantasy mmo all racial terms are left outside. Stunty, pointy ear and halfling are acceptable.

It more to do with the history of certain words and phrases. We don't use them because we disagree with their historical context. You can't help getting offended.

While i agree it still doesn't take away the fact they are deliberately trying to mock someone/skin colour/race whatever it is and that shouldn't be acceptable. It does add a big arrow over there head asking to be killed which i oblige to do so whenever i see someone with an insulting or silly name.
