Now to play devils advocate, sometimes bad gamer tags help convey crucial information to other players. As a case in point, around the release of Guild Wars: Factions, I started noticing that a large percentage of characters were Assassin primaries, named after Naruto characters. I also noticed that these players never helped the group, and always spent the majority of the time at 60% death penalty. At first I assumed that it was because Assassin was a class that was just unbalancingly weak, but a friend of mine made an assassin to a decent effect (A friend whose name is almost always, "IStab____People. Hese least offensive one so far is Carnys). Not only that, but characters that were named after Naruto characters, yet were not Assassins, were not bad. Only when Naruto name and Assassin class met, did it turn into a disaster. Eventually, I had no choice but to leave any group with a Naruto-nammed Assassin. Even worse, when you added extraneous X's to the equation, they always, always, got the entire group killed. And I'm not even prejudiced: I like the Assassin class, and watch Naruto. These terrible names saved me loads of heartache. its almost like an application of Bill Hicks, "Heres your sign" routine
