Today I Googled someone’s pet name to check whether it was offensive or not (it was in a different language) and up popped their armoury.
I know that there was quite some time where we were unable to identify someone through their pet names but it appears as if it is once again possible to search for someone.
I understood the reason to prevent names from being searched was to prevent greifing or contacting another battler to trade wins.
As cool as it is to know who you’re battling I can only see this driving negative behaviour.
