This may be a silly question, but I'm not quite getting what all the fuss is about. Let's say your current username is abc#1234. When you get prompted to change your username, you will be able to change it to @abc#1234. You can still configure your server usernames to display only "abc". So what is the exact problem here?

Everyone is not forced to do that. So if someone is faster they get @abc. The current system is one of the better ones in existence because it is equally unfair to everyone.
Makes sense.
