I think the addition of an automated name randomizer was a good addition for helping combat metagaming but it also failed to go far enough to address the state of metagaming on the server. While name automation for logins helps combat metagaming of disguise identies it fails to address other ways the name lists are gamed such as names on the Playerlist itself which are commonly used for side stepping ig investigation when identifying the location of a target player. In my opinion the system would be better if it were expanded to support options for resolving this use case. I realize metagaming the Playerlist is a reportable offense but in my opinion enforcement around it (owing to a number of factors such as difficulty in proving the issue in any specific circumstance) is largely ineffective at dealing with the issue.
