Discord... Why are you doing this to me. Just go back to the normal usernames. I can only talk about this topic so many times before my head explodes.

So if you don't keep up with Discord lore, Discord recently proposed the idea of changing their username system. Instead of having the tradition Discord username of your name(#)xxxx, they instead want to do @name. Of course, this raises a lot of issues. But instead of Discord reverting back their feature, they instead added more fuel to the dumpster fire.

PAY TO WIN! Discord's rollout for these new usernames (which give people the ability to claim usernames) was based on account age. But now if you had a bit of cheddar in your wallet then you could be one of the lucky few to get the chance of getting your new username.

While there are surprisingly pros to turning on pay to win, there are definitely cons. And with the additional community feedback on the topic, I dive into "is this feature really it?"
