Your argument seems rather mute. There is nothing that prevents you from turning off private stores so that you don't have to see the obnoxious naming, nothing that prevents EM from adding naming limitations to stores, and nothing that requires you to use stores rather than use the AH if you don't have time for it.

We've been working hard on bringing TERA to North America, and have also had a hand in shaping TERA specifically with our gamers in mind. This past GDC we spoke with media about what we've been working on specifically for North America, but I wanted to talk about a few changes that we’ve made:

• Removed private stores – we removed private stores from TERA so we could make the broker system the central hub of the player economy. We’ve increased the limit of items that can be sold from 8 to 50 and think this will help players to go to one place to find whatever they need

• Implemented Bind on Pickup (BoP) items – For some items, we’ve implemented a BoP system which lets us give better equipment to players without having to worry as much about RMT farming items.

• Removed Boxes of Mischief – I personally have a negative winning streak with these, and overall we felt that it was a chance based system that frustrated more players than it benefited. We removed them and used the space in the loot drop tables to chances for other cool things to drop

There are a lot more changes and enhancements that we’ve been working on, and as we get closer to our OBT and Launch we’ll keep sharing what we’re doing so y’all know what to expect and give us feedback.

Thanks!

As much as I like Tera, I will say this....

1: Removing the stores was an idiotic move.
2: BoP stuff is idiotic as well

These two things alone already show me there will be a trend of carebear things to come in Tera. I have seen it in many mmo's and this is just the begining. I am now on the fence about Tera. Leave the damn BoP system out of this damn game, and leave in the shops. Shops are an awsome way to use the economy. Selling stuff in areas that no shops are located can make people good money
and it's awsome.

Please do not be dumb with these changes and revert them. Sorry for using the word, "Idiotic and dumb", but that is just how I feel about these changes along with many other people.

Thank you and have a wonderful day.

So I have to know this option exists, hunt for it, and turn it off to enjoy the game normally? Frankly, for all 3 CBTs, I did not know this option existed, I did not like the Pet spam, but I dealt with it anyway. It annoyed me. But never once have I made a post [filtered]ing about it being there. And if pets were defaulted off, they might as well not be there in the first place.

The problem is, that players who came to Tera because it was a Korean game, are now pissed because Korean elements that do not mesh with western society are being removed. And that as a whole the entire goddamn community must suffer in order for you to enjoy pet shops spamming Velika, Walking to dungeons, and seeing Elin panties.

Given that nearly every character I made but ONE was an Elin, I find this behavior somewhat insane.
