I agree with allowing sex and race changes. Nothing wrong with that.
I disagree with allowing name changes though. Long ago Sanya posted about requested name changes (paraphrased) that name changes would not be allowed because if a player has a bad rep (for ripping off players, for being rude, for <insert bad behavior>
that rep should stick with the character/player.
While Mythic did accidentally offer name changes with the implementation of Ywain, I agree with a policy that, in general, name changes should not be offered.
That's a very vague "defense" imo.

The majority would want this for entirely different reasons, and I think you know this.

"Many would want this for entirely different reasons" that is true, but enough asshats would want it for the anonymity it provides. The downside is far greater than the upside.
The lack of name changing is not something that is killing the game and even a small number of asshats allowed to run freely amuck will/can kill a game. Removing one of the few checks and balances that help keep asshats in check, it is not wise. [/color]
Besides, who cares about reputation these days, too many idiots around to keep a straight face anyways.
