Could we at least get an order of magnitude estimate on this? I've been skipping events since May, hoping I could do them on the character I'm planning to recreate, but if it's a long ways off, I'll just bite the bullet and use a different ign.
We actually have an update planned for this, which will fix other issues like channel population. However, I won't see this being implemented within the next 2 updates (we're focusing on autobanning now, and HT).
