It's just the way I go about doing things. Anyways, needless to say - this habit stopped abruptly after the Graal#### phase.

It's bad enough that if I wanted a new account I'd have to pay monthly just to get classic servers. It's even worse when my account is some impersonal string of digits.

One other thing - Graal#### accounts aren't even taken seriously. I don't know how many times I've heard people tell newcomers "Oh, you're just some Graal### newb." or when I ask about someone "He's just some Graal### ***."

Granted, all that does is show the immaturity of the player-base...but that fact aside, if I were a new player and I was mocked even for my account (which I can do NOTHING about), I sure as hell wouldn't stick around.
i've also seen that happen to people, where someone with lifetime class buys a graal#### account, and is ridiculed about it until they don't use it anymore, and go back to their lifetime classic accounts. same with graal#### accounts sparring - they are ALWAYS newbies in the eyes of most (and to be honest i'm not sure i've ever been beaten by a graal#### account)
