I'm all for it. My characters all have valid names according to the policy as is. While it's not an RP server, I'm tired of seeing characters with retarded names like 'tits' and 'shithead' running around. Granted, some of them are clever and funny rather than just being mouthbreathingly profane, but I can totally see the appeal of a server with all believable names. The idea that this would be some kind of last straw for people thinking of quitting the server is pretty hilarious. Not that people wouldn't leave because of this policy, just that it's such a dumb thing to leave over.
On the subject of character selling, yeah, I find it pretty tasteless. That and power leveling (the hardcore kind, not the buffing-lowbies-at-orc-lift kind). I wouldn't mind if they were banned as well.
