So I have a question about alot of the old players of osu who no longer play the game or played the game once and never again, like the ones who have not been active for around a 1+ year(s)
Ive been trying to get my friend into playing osu for a long time and he would play on my account at my house some times and i would show him what to do and how to pass stuff and all that so when he went to go make and account of his own one day he went for the user name "Confused" and it said it was taken so we looked it up and it was by a person named "conFuSeD" (http://puu.sh/pSVT1/ac8847e3da.jpg) and he wanted that name in the end even after i went into the act of trying to make him pick a different name And over the past few weeks ive been thinking about it and went back to the profile and saw this Old player only had 9 minutes on record and played 3 years ago which i think would make him a "one time player" in my eyes
So i went off to the name change area of the osu store and I had one free name change so i typed in "confused" and it said i could change my name to that which had me very very "confused" (bad puns) http://puu.sh/pSWp1/a079dad6a6.jpg
So my question is why can we change our names with the name change to these old players names but the new players picking a name can not choose their name to be that old players name that is taking up space? I think that at some point all the kind of Valid or not really stupid names would be taken up by old players that not longer play any more and people would have to start paying for their name changes to something usable and not something stupid since they cant use a free name change (from what i know so far) unless they have had supporter before.
This is my first forum I've created so I dont know if i should have put it here or in the "help" forum so if its in the wrong place im sorry! and I'll move it to the correct forum.
(I have no idea if i saved it or posted this before so if this is a double post ill delete it)
