Just received a 72-hour ban for naming my character ‘Ipoopedmypants’ – didn’t know it would be offensive to anyone. I made it to level 17 without being banned..

I’m thinking, wouldn’t it be better to provide players with a warning in an e-mail and the option to change the name? I mean, it’s not like I’ve named my character ‘Hitlerwascool’ or anything like that.

Is it just me?

When you log in, you will be prompted to change your character name. if this is your first offense, you can do so immediately. And yes, a character with a name related to defecation is offensive.

And the warning is given in the User Agreement, which includes the Naming Policy: https://www.guildwars2.com/en/legal/guild-wars-2-naming-policy/ Feel free to read the at least 100 other posts I’ve made on this subject for further enlightenment.
