So /d basically has no purpose after 1.8
Not necessarily, Mojang has said that there will be a limit on how many times you can change your name, so it's not exactly like /d.

EDIT: not wanting to double post here
How will this work with banning hackers? I don't quite get it.
Each player has an ID number, so regardless of whether they change their name, their ID will be the same, this is what servers and plugins use for everything, so when you ban a hacker, it will ban their ID. When someone buys donor, it will rank up their ID. I'm pretty bad at explaining, hope you get it.

Ban the person by g-line (form of permanent ban that's difficult to evade even with a dynamic IP or different devices) instead of, or in addition to, using /ban + /cb in-game.

Anywho, I'm excited for this news. My video intros can finally be shortened from "saharamojave or AlgerWaterlow here" to simply Saharamojave (I was like 14 when I made my Youtube account - don't judge :p ).
I'm 14 now. Stop being so agist -.-

I feel bad for people like Fox, Lovelights, and anyone else who's bought alts. They've spent a lot of money on Minecraft, and now this is being implemented. .-.
