I can see that may be a concern. Anet's communication isn't totally clear as to if a display name change still runs the risk of causing problems with the account. From GMMagister's post on reddit:
>**While it was technically possible, it could permanently break an account** in a way where it would end up unable to chat, add friends, interact with guilds, or the display name change simply wouldn't take. For this reason, we would only change the name if it contained a significant amount of personal information (such as first AND last name,) or if it was in violation of the Terms of Service.
>**Thankfully, we finally got our tools and the display name system updated, which is why we updated the policy this year!** While we may come across a couple cases where we can't change the name, these should be few and far between, **so this limitation is pretty much a thing of the past.**
So to me I read this as they updated their tools to the point a display name change no longer runs the risks of causing issues. Thus why they offer it as option without the prior restrictions. But what do I know? Again, as some mentioned above, a bit of communication here from Anet might have been helpful. But maybe they just don't want support flooded with display name change requests by talking about it. Who knows?
For a game I have not really played in over a year aside from logging in to unlock the living boring episodes in the event I decide to play again, I should not be investing my time to try and sort this out. That should be Anet's job. I was just a bored today. :)
