Inculpatus cedo.9234 Thanks for the information. I guess it's kind of sad that a business feels that safety and security isn't a risk. Oh well, I'll take my hundreds dollars of month to spend on another game instead of GW2. I like to invest into games I play to helps support them but if this is how Arena.Net is in these situations ... I don't want to continue to support them. Guess this account can lapse as it did in the past. Thanks again for the heads up.

Also as of note which I've looked up and linked in my support ticket. https://help.guildwars2.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000728148-I-Want-to-Change-My-Display-Name"You used your full real life name as your Display Name." it does not specify first and last name but rather Real Life Name"All other scenarios are reviewed and considered on a case-by-case basis." support is simply saying no that it doesn't violate terms of service or meet the requirement"We only make changes when a user's personal information or identity is at risk." having your first or last name CAN BE a security risk not only for an account but in real life to any internet predator https://account.arena.net/registerThis does not specify anywhere when you create an account that you'll never be able to change your Display Name. No warnings or anything remotely warning! Even when you click the ( ? ) No where does it say that this is permanent. I would have considered creating a whole new account but I use to play the original Guild Wars back in the day and have all my achievements from HOM. On top of that I've invested literally hundreds of dollars for in game items not realizing that oh well if I join a Guild that my Display Name is shown to everyone instead of just my Character name or that Guild Wars 2 Guilds may require my Display Name in their discord including the last 4 using Guild Wars data to verify it.

Not going to argue about this anymore. GL, I'm taking my money elsewhere. I get a lot of you are "free players" or may not invest into the games you play but I do. Secondly, for those who reply "well it says display name" ... my account was from the original Guild Wars and then I played GW2 ... back at that time it was a different scenario about your "Display Name." I guess all the hundreds of dollars a month someone might spend into the game doesn't help continue to promote the game but it's super hard to figure out how to change a display name. Yeah, I get it ... it's called coding. Somehow ESO managed to trim down the fat of a WHOLE game created years and years back. World of Warcraft being over 29 years old can manage to update and allow you to change/merge account and you can change your Display/Battle ID. Even FFXIV at least gives warnings that you can NEVER change your Display/UserName. I wouldn't give two shits about my Display if it didn't display to every person in a Guild or Discord who wants to confirm your ID and stuck with it showing to every Tom, Dick and Harry. On that note, Adios and GL to those of you kind enough to reply without trying to be demeaning and not know the full set of circumstances and why it was even remotely important.

I don't understand why it's so complicated to change a username. I've been trying for over several days to get my username changed because it has my real life name in it. The support tech I got said it must include my first and last name yet in the past I had someone find me in real life with much less information and show up to my work who ended up stalking me and had to get the Police Dept involved. I've said several times how it's a security issue yet he doesn't seem to care at all. Unbelievable. I've asked them to escalate the ticket but not sure who else or how to get them more involved because it shouldn't be that hard. I'd be willing to create a whole new account but I'd LOSE everything including my HOM from playing the original Guild Wars and Outfits, bag space just so I can have a more secure account and feel safer at home while gaming. Does anyone know who else other than Tech Support who could get involved in this? I mean what would it take?
