    Free Name Change (Tested)

    Found this by accident. My Jade Tentacle pet was named Tentacleporn, and I keep him out everywhere go. Since people get butthurt when I'm playing my twink rogue, they tend to report me for stuff like that. So today, I found that my rogue had been flagged for a namechange, but the email they sent was for the pet.
    Account Action: Warning

    Offense: Naming Policy Violation - Obscene/Vulgar
    This category includes both clear and masked names which:

    * Are inappropriate references to human anatomy or bodily functions
    * Are pornographic in nature

    Step 1: Name any of your battle pets something against ToS.
    Step 2: Keep him out wherever you go and hope you get reported, or have your friends report you.
    Step 3: ??
    Step 4: Profit. If enough reports have been filed against your battlepet, your character should be flagged for a name change.

    edit: I haven't tested this yet, (about to later today) but I assume that you can tell a GM you were mistakenly flagged for a name change because of your pet, and ask for a new name change back to your original. Take your original name on another account or friends account though and it will most likely reflag you for another name change (only really worth it if you regret your current namechange or found a better name, like I did)

    Neat find, just a heads up for people who have been flagged in the past; don't do it if you're already in hot water. Had you been flagged before for anything of this nature? Then refrain from testing this.

    +rep, this is new to me.

    Strange why they would flag your characters name.

    Awesome, I''ve always knew that this would work, but I didn't spend much time in orgrimmar to get people's attention as I mostly rbg xD
    Also another neat trick to get a name change for free is when you are about to transfer your character and there is no one on the end realm with your name already taken : simply create a lvl 1 char with that name and voila....a free name change .

    This probably works because players can't right click report your pet for the name. So having a lot of people report that person instead, enough complaints later they will just flag it for name change.

    No, you can right click on pet's portrait of OTHER player and click on "Report bad pet name"

    I believe you can also delete your char, make a new one with the same name then when it gets restored your flagged for a namechange, nice find nonetheless

    Have had this specific account since wotlk and have been warned/suspended over 10 times, maybe over 20.

    This involves a GM, though not direct, as it involves reporting.

    Nope, tried this quite a few times. One GM asked me if I'd think he's stupid, that this won't work and told me to delete the character or I won't get the restoration.
    In 20-30 years, one of the hardest things our children will have to do is finding a screen name that hasn't already been taken.

    Sorry but I don't think this qualifies. You aren't expecting anything from the GM but rather the player. I think this rule is to prevent people from directly manipulating GM's to get something, whereas this depends on another player reporting you. From then on its a matter of luck on how the GM approaches this.

    Actually, yeah, this does work.

    You did it wrong. You have to make the character on another account, or have a friend do it. That way they can't tell who made the toon, and they won't delete some random persons toon just to give you your old name back.
