edit:
woops had to edit this after i re-read last post, but will keep my original txt as well, but i like that idea, and you'll see it here in as well, or at least something along those lines.
what i first said before i reread the previous post:
ok i'll counter that:
let's say it cost's dappers to name a mek, and the name is static for that pet slot from that point on as long as that mek is alive.
or, you can name the mek only when bought new (although we'd all have to rebuy current mek's)
or, you fill out a request ticket to name a mek, and this can allow name's to be filtered before they are applied (i admit that's more work for the csr's but this was promised and hasn't been given back yet)
a 30 day cool down between naming could help as well, can't change the name to "xbox" and then change it right back, thus you get warned for a violation, and so many of those turns into a ban.
i'm always baffled as to why everyone is always against optional content that players want or like (this is one of many things)
everyone's just too happy with the current status quo of the game, and that's why we're loosing more players then we're getting, i see the same names all the time, and rarely see a new name that sticks around very long.
we're a game, the ESRB rating is "T" for teen, suggestive themes and violence. (taken directly from the esrb page)
so let's consider that as well, in a US movie rated pg-13 you get partial nuditiy, strong language, and many other things i won't go into, but the point is, we're not "hello kitty" so in all honest are you really going to tell me it hurts someone to see the word "ass" (note that i refrain from harsh language as much as possible to be considerate of others, but that doesn't mean that i have to because of the rating of the game. and as long as i don't call someone directly an "ass" but say something like "pei LA npc boss in HoP is a pain in my ass" i've not violated any codes that i know of.)
so as you can see, if we really want to sit and "split hairs" i am more then happy to do so, it just amazes me again that everyone want's to prevent a good feature because a very small number of players "MAY" abuse it, while the rest of us will use it correctly, basically your saying that because of a small few every one else should suffer? that's like saying because a small number of people do RP that it should be removed because most don't use it. (bet that line right there upsets the RP players because it's a little too close to home)
bottom line is this was a promised feature that would be back for us to use after the merger, and with no official good reason to not allow it beyond the claim that players will abuse it just isn't good enough, also a thought.
there are plenty of options, and the best of them to prevent abuse is to make the name change a one time thing, i think the serious players that want to name their pet's will do so, and those that just want to be rude, disrespectful, or down right devious won't waste the effort because once the name change is done, it's done.
i want names for my mek's like "gear" "mat's" "digger" "speedy" "armor" "weapon" "jewels" "ammo" ect, and if i want to rp does that mean i can't be talkirc, nope, that's just a id tag, same with mek's.
can we all get on the same page that the bulk of players that want this shouldn't be punished because a small number might abuse it.
when anyone looks at the bigger picture of what your saying, your telling us all that because 1 in 100 will use it wrong, it's a bad thing, guess the ways of the one out way the desires of the many. (gonna gripe because i like star trek and twisted a quote? don't waste my time with it please, i'll drag up freedom of speech and the fact that it's not word for word, and so many other good valid arguments about the truth to the statements use, and that while Spock said something similar, it doesn't mean no one can ever say it again, because if that was the case, the human race could never say a single word because the guy that made it first 1000's of years ago owns it.)
i'm just so sick of everyone crying about this and that, can you please grow up a little and try to act like a mature adult about things? (sarcastic statement, or is it?)
