Let’s talk about usernames

And as a user, that system is _utterly terrible_

"I want to add you as a friend so we can play games together, what's your name" Mrguyorama + random junk I didn't choose

It's user unfriendly

Would you rather be xXTheRealMrGuyoramaXx or mrguyorama_123 instead? I really don't see how it's that different. It solves the problem of first come first serve, without forcing people to come up with the random meaningless bits themselves.

For Battle.net, you can just give out your email address and that works fine.
