I have to preface this by that I was not able to find the appropriate forum section to post this while also retaining the visibility for the dev team. If anyone knows what is the best place to post it please say so and I will gladly move this to the appropriate location.
Me and all of my Ukrainian friends have a pretty big problem with a title that was added during the EW post-patches: the <Z> title.
During the invasion of Ukraine by Russia letter Z ended up being a symbol of the invasion and is now being used by war supporters online and offline to show allegiance.
It's basically turned into their version of the swastika - Russians will use the symbol in pro-war advertisements, publicly display it in order to show allegiance or just use Z as their signature in online messages to show their support.
You can read about the symbol here on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(military_symbol), or just by typing "russia z" in Google you will find many examples of what I'm talking about. Here's an article about a person getting fined in Germany for publicly displaying the symbol on their car: https://www.dw.com/en/german-court-f...car/a-63556158
I tried to get over it, and yet, even two years after the war started I still shudder when I see the title in-game. I've spoken to a few of my Ukrainian friends who play the game and they also feel the same way.
I don't really have a good suggestion as how it can be changed, as to my knowledge there's already <Zero> title in the game, but I still want to ask to do something about the title or guide me towards the forum section where this could be seen by the dev team. Any help would be gladly appreciated.
