I wasn't able to get a direct answer from any of the GMs about it thus far, but if it's true, than that's the deal breaker for me, one thing is selling stuff that was buy-able with RL money back in TBC, I can sort of let that pass, but selling names is not only not Blizz-like, it's directly impacting the RPG element of the game.
Some people are already defending it buy saying "well the players are going to do that anyways" they seem to be totally oblivious to the difference between a fair competition and a rigged game.
If a player is fast enough and get's a name, sure, I might not be in favor of any type of name selling going on, but still, it was won in a fair competition, and that's a huge difference from a GM just reserving a name instantly.
I ofc hope this is not true, but it's already left a bad taste in my mouth just reading some of the playtbc fanboy comments about it, they were so quick to just accept another moving of the goal post.
I'm going to wait for an official confirmation about this, but if it's true, than I'm out.
