Yeah but if it was more affordable then i'd do it often..Like right after my name appears on one of the intel reports..bam. Most of my syn would do it also. Plus if you're mad because i rob you so much then change it..Change it often.

Yeah, my 3 year old doesn't understand why she is Mike Jr instead of her name. I just hate to spend 50 gold to change it. At least I made her avatar a girl...

That won't help you much. Your position on the list doesn't change, so smart people can figure out who you were without too much trouble ;)

There's no need for it to be any gold. They're such money grabbers. I'm sure when I joined you could do name and character changes for game money

No, you could send a ticket and request it. I can see the advantage of automating it over taking up someone's time doing changes manually but the cost is way over the top.

I know how the smart ones think and i've devised a plan specifically for them..We have players with ranging stats all near the same level..If it were 10 gold then we'd swap names..know what i mean?

Just another way for them to make money.

I know..Here is the simple theory on how lowering it would make them more money..

at 50 gold one member of syn does it

at 10 gold 15 members are willing to do it and do it regularly..more bang for the buck. They would be willing to do 5 name changes for 50 but not 1..

see how that works gree? Mo money by actually lowering the price.

Apply this thinking to the entire game and you'll have money piled up to the ceiling

For war I presume? Doesn't work; your place on the list stays the same unless you leave and rejoin the syndicate (or others above you do the same). Even when all members of Fight Club were called Tyler Durden it wasn't too hard to identify their weakest member without the need to scout them all.

A group in KA swapped names around during a war, but it only took a minute to figure out who they'd been previously on the existing scout reports.

Just watch videos and earn free gold. Once you get to 50, change your name. Then Gree pays for it, not you :)

Gree wants to make money.. Ok, but what about the process that your account was created with "alex" name because it didnt ask you a name when you purchased a new device and used icloud to copy your data from previous to new device?
Changing name should not be a big deal, as your internal code does not change...
If they want to make money on it, they should be smart... Why are they charging so much gold for that? Why not allow up to 3 name changes at no cost and then charge??? Maybe 5 gold would be more than enough...

Yeah, it got to the point where support would have thousands of emails a day from everyone in a syndicate wanting their name changed before the war, then after ... it was insane. It wasn't possible to keep up with all the requests. It was either no more name changes at all, or put it in the game.
