For my character named:
Give Me A Bowjob

BOWjob. Not BLOWjob.

Probably, or you wouldn't have to ask. You obviously recognize that you're pushing a line, and the line may push back. Is it really so important to you to test the limits? Why not just pick a nice, normal name instead of trying for a phrase to make some kind of statement?

I'm like 98% sure that someone's delicate sensibilities will be hurt by that name so yeah, you'll probably end up with GW time-out. the sad thing is, it might be a week or a year until it happens. I'd let it ride and then just re-name when the time comes (if ever).

-if you want to keep the name, without worries, keep a low profile. carebears are mostly chat observers. that being said, keep it short and simple if you need to use Local chat for anything.

/edit
I's also like to add, if you PvP you'll probably get the time-out much sooner.

You're obviously trying to be offensive/whatever, so there really isn't much difference when deciding whether you get banned or not.

No. It's impossible for you to be "b&," because b& is not a word.

It's a perfectly cromulent word! Honestly, I hate leet and short hand and all that.

Generally, if you have to ask yourself "is such and such allowed", the answer is no.

I completely agree with everything said here, except: I think that at least (remember "at least") 55% of the people in the game would either be offended and report you so you would get a GW Timeout, or they would just report you because they can. Although honestly, I could really careless what anyones names are and I think names are just a personal statement about yourself. So... Yep... Probably...

Generally, if you have to question your own actions, it is generally an ill-advised action... So I would still say probably even though like mentioned above my post... "Guild Wars Staff will generally ban anyone for any name reported even if it is not a "Bad Reference."

Yes.

Would I take offense? No.

Would/Should people take offense? No.

Will you get reported and SUSPENDED (not banned)? Yes, you will.

And 95% chance it'll be for fun, a guy and his friends or guild will stalk and multi-report you forcing anet to take action.

Sorry man.

Do it... i don't find it offensive.
I played RA with char named "Deflorated Was Gwen" for 3 months and no one reported me.
12 year old kids won't get it and others just don't care

Yea, but thats normal that Gwen has been deflorated. Nick helped with that (Remember that he was collecting red Iris flowers during his first week and every farmer was stealing them from Gwen's garden behind EotN =p )

I don't find that offensive, some vindictive sad little kid with nothing better to do would probably report you for it though

Happened to me on a Monk, after 10 months, all of a sudden temp ban (at Halloween no less), then I seen the masks and didn't feel so bad
