I hope SSG bans everyone who attempts ransom, and I certainly encourage reporting those who fall prey to ransom attempts.Do the Everquest name reservation system and make money off the people that care about their name that much. You take the person with the name that has had it the longest on any server and you let them reserve first for a fee. If they don't then the next person can and so on down to making it a free for all if no one reserves. But then people can't whine as much.
I would never pay a ransom for a character name; there are millions of names to choose from for free, but this behavior should not be allowed and should be severely punished.
And recommending doing it doesn't seem ethical to me either.
