Here is my idea to help fight against teaming in Free-for-all events

Scramble everyone's name. So when you mouse over or right click, there name is just a garbled mess of letters so its hard to tell who is who.
It may not completely eliminate the issue but it could help.

Here's how it could be done:

//when player joins event
generate scrambled name
if generated name isn't being used:
   get their name, save that with their player id (15 = hoofedear)
   save that scrambled name with that player (DdlrKf = hoofedear) //this way if someone breaks rules in chat they can be punished.
   assign scrambled name to player

//end of event
check player id with saved id and names
assign player id with previous name

Thoughts?

I didn't know everyone already has same name and looks. tongue
Disregard post.

People still find ways to team over voice chat, so we will fix the shuffle command to scramble combatants in a way that makes team coordination infeasible.
