Turn on your armory.
Select "search arena teams"
type in Naga.
Now fix it.
You have over 400 teams using Naga as a rough variation on a different N word. When it was one or two mild phrases, it was almost an amusing turn of phrase:
"Naga Please" became
"Naga gave me Harpies" which became even more offensive phrases.
Last week I played against:
Lynch a Naga
It was reported, along with the fact there was a huge number of similar names..
Yet, on your arena team list right now you have:
Back of the Bus Naga
Naga Lips
Naga Slave Traders
Oprah Windfury is a Naga
Oversized Naga Dix
Curbstomp a Naga
Bite the Curb Naga
and hundreds more..
The last two listed are specific instances of racial violence.
The inclusion of these terms is offensive, the players who chose them did so to cause an uncomfortable environment for a certain part of the population.
The players need the teams disbanded.. not name changed.. losing a few points is the smallest punishment some should recieve. Suspensions would be in order for others.
I realize your general player base tends to skew young.. and immature.
But you have a responsibility to remove certain references from your game. And, to let those who use those references know that it won't be tolerated. Otherwise you are telling the rest of us that this is the type of environment you want within your game.
Im tired of typing this into in-game "reports" that dont get addressed while Im online. I shouldnt have to type a new one for every team. So I am putting the entire issue here.
Consider them all reported.
