Dear
Removed,
Thank you for contacting support and giving us your input on the situation.
As for the Nurse Sara, the character saying "Don't worry, I'll be gentle" is a
direct link to being given a shot, drawing blood, and other related medical
procedures. When a child goes in to see a doctor, most of the time the nurse
and doctor both will reassure the child that they will be gentle.
We do realize that your guild name "Perverted Hermit" may have come from the
show Naruto, but it still does not excuse the fact that it may be offensive to
some of our player's, including parents of children who play the game.
And lastly, as I told your guild leader, whether the player you are referring
to reported you or not, we have come to the decision that this name could be
offensive to others in the game.
We are still requiring this guild be disbanned by the end of the day or we will
have to disban it for you.
Best regards,
Team Aeria
