@loramin, I have to disagree with you it IS subjective because in a way this IS cherry picking. If names policy is to be strictly enforced then why do some names go through while some don't? Also to apply this across not just names, but guild names, gm names, and possibly mechanics such as links , (which isn't classic, fine), but then buff timers showing for years then removed a year and half ago? (that wasn't classic to begin with). Why pick and choose when the whole point here is to be consistent with your outrage, that's all.

I'm VERY consistent with my outrage ...

GMs not magically fixing every name at once: no outrage
(they're human)

GMs fixing some names before fixing others: no outrage
(direct effect of the above; they're humans so they have to start with someone)

GMs not fixing guild names before player names: no outrage
(I don't tell them how, or in what order, to do their job ... especially when their "job" is volunteering to help me)

Deves not fixing something they can't (item links): no outrage
(again, humans can't just magically fix impossible or really difficult technical problems).

Because classic live had 1 server for 8 years

A few volunteers working on a 100% free project to re-create a game published by a major company with tons of programmers, as classically as possible, for eight years of their lives, and letting me play on it the whole time while they work: no outrage

EDIT: You added "people owned several accounts" in an edit, so I feel compelled to point out that Live did in fact have many people who owned multiple accounts. For instance, Dome (in the screenshot above) was a friend of mine who also owned another account for "Domey". It was more the exception than the rule, but it did happen sometimes. Project 1999 has more of that than live did, but that's an "environment problem" the devs can't fix anymore than they can erase modern player's knowledge of how to acquire the Overthere Hammer using Puppet Strings (which was not common knowledge on live).
