Community names will never be as seamless as normal account names, for as long as they can be changed, and that's the whole point of the system.
Which is being able to change your "variable account name" so you can have a * in front of your nickname, so you can't plan systems based on community names always being the same.
If they change the system so that they can't be changed, then they might as well admit defeat and go back to the normal account creation.

But if something happens and they need to, it will be much easier and won't break the player completely.
I'm sure if they really tried hard, they could implement community names in a way that will make them seem just like old account names did.

Yeah but I doubt they're going to try real hard to make it work for us.
Also it's just easier to plan your systems to use player.account, then having to write something to make it feel seamless, not to mention player.communityname looks ridiculous compared to using player.account in scripts.
