It doesn't matter why it's ruled out. All that matters is it is. Clearly it will do harm somewhere because SC has ruled it out despite it being a good opportunity for monetization.Quote:

Lol.. ITS RULED OUT BECAUSE REASONS. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS.
As for the the comment stating that people would use it to troll clans.. That's still not a good enough reason. How do you even troll a clan? Donate wallbreakers and goblins? Good thing we can dismiss troops! Durrr..
Next reason please.
Yep that's right. Only SC knows the real reason why, and they aren't talking.Quote:

It's not like after two years they are going to read your questions (after having ignored countless others) and suddenly reveal the reasoning behind their design decisions.Quote:

That's not to say that's the actual reason. SC has not revealed what the actual reason is, so anything else is just pointless speculation.
I'm not complaining. I just want a real reason as to why we cant change our name, its not a big deal lol.Quote:

And for B. So that person gets kicked out again? If they're dumb enough to use gems to change their name simply to rejoin a clan to troll, who cares? We'll kick them again and again. Crisis averted.
Not asking for an explanation on why they can't consider the request.. Whining LOL, hardly.Quote:

I'll say it again, I just want to see if somebody has a real, logical answer, or ideas as to why we can't change our name lol.
I guess they don't need to tell us why we can't, but you'd think that after seeing so many posts about this they would just answer it to avoid any more threads like this. They're real quick to shut those threads down, but they offer no info.. At all. Besides "Read our novel of a sticky that outlines what is ruled out, but won't outline why."
Ok, but SC is the only entity that can actually answer this.Quote:
