As I said last time; I can defend some of the things... Chat, they're being over-protective as usual; factions, they can add on, and might want to keep member-only for some silly reason, even though you get one of the most recent packs to try out... But what logical reason is there for keeping custom names out? If you're playing this game, you already have a LEGO Account name; and if it's to prevent the little kids from using their real names; I'd say a lot put their names into their accounts regardless, though there are obvious exceptions(Tahu9999932842985348 and the sort). So there's not really any purpose for the names to be member-only... =/
I am going to agree with you there.
