Suggestion: A way for guild leaders to track if someone changes their display name for purposes of moderating Some background: In our Discord we ask people to include their account name in their nickname to make it easier on us for promotions, kicks, giveaways etc... Like if we need to ban someone who is causing problems in the Discord it was easy to then find their account name in game due to our naming policy.
In the past this was easy because Anet made it difficult to change the display name but now that the policy changed a couple of years back it is more difficult to do this. From a guild leader perspective this is frustrating but I understand why the policy changed as it is better for the player base as a whole. My concern stems from being able to easily coordinate with our Discord and in game rosters for things like promotions, kicks, giveaways etc...
And honestly the last thing I want is for someone we ban for breaking our rules to get their display name changed, avoiding our blacklist and causing drama as that would be a massive headache. Possible Solutions:
So I guess my suggestion would be implementing something along the lines of what Steam has with previously known aliases. Or maybe adding an in game ban action instead of just kick and tying that to a new in game blacklist that is only visible to guild leaders (to preserve privacy) where it will show if someone has changed their display name and possibly also making it so that person cannot be invited back at all if the new ban action was used instead of a kick.
