@SalixCat Yes, I can. And I have. I changed him into a Jedi knight. And I changed him back months ago. I still knew it was him, he still scared me silly, and curiously it didn’t really change anything. It was Him. He was still invading my streets and hallways, and whenever I ran into him I knew he was menacing. The whole Jedi knight thing was a joke, because that was the only control I had, and it was a lie. He looked like a Jedi knight but I knew who he was supposed to be, and that made it eerier than ever.
I really hope this isn’t the solution. I swear I don’t think I should have to put up with him anymore. He should so be gone from a number of different angles. No player should have to endure this.

@CharlieDaisy12 NPCs don't disappear. I've never seen an old NPC disappear from my game. Sometimes those on working places get replaced by young adults.
This has been happening for a long time. You can read about it here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Open-Ancient-elder-NPCs-don-t-disappear/td-p/6986428

Well I guess that settles it, then. There is a character in my game I don’t like that won’t leave, I have taken his mask off again, finally, and he is in fact an elder, which seals the deal in my experience, and I am being asked to put up with that in order to play the game. I think enough players have complained about this now that it’s clear it’s a persistent problem in our gaming experience. It diminishes my enjoyment of the game, often gets in the way of completing goals set out by the game to complete, like getting married, and in this case elicits a fairly strong negative association with my experience, no matter what the NPC looks like. That, I believe, is why NPCs are usually so specifically homogenized. I don’t know what more I can add. Please look into this bug, issue, whatever it might be. I feel it would significantly enhance player experience.
Everything from this post forward is out of order. If you don’t understand it, I can’t blame you. I have requested resolution for restoration of this bug/issue report to its original state.
NEW ISSUE/BUG TODAY, I believe it was Feb.23/21: This is the Darth Maul character without his mask, “X”. I’m still very uncomfortable around him, and feel sick when I see his picture.But the reason for this attachment is that his name has changed. His name was Zander something or other yesterday, I’m sure of this because I was very familiar with him at this point, having changed his outfit because he will not be removed. Today his name has changed to “X”, as you can see. I find the name “X” to be intimidating and scary, because of his history, and mostly because “X” reminds me that he is not a standard NPC. Ive never heard of anyone called “X” before. I don’t want any “X”s in my contacts.'
Is this something the developers did? If so, thank you for trying, but if you would like the feedback it’s a scarier name, all the more so because I don’t know how it happened.
I am having trouble with the site. Please see my post under @mistmeadowglen on Twitter for a picture.https://twitter.com/mistmeadowglen/status/1364136488724758529?s=21
Edit: Following is the way I have left it on Twitter. Twitter got involved because I was having trouble posting pictures on the site. The link above is to something that as far as I’m concerned has been deleted from my account, that information is here.
I am done with this thread. The formatting problems have been fixed, I didn’t put them there in the first place. I went to Twitter in early February to try and get something done about this, something that I find very hard to play with, and I really hope there will be an update for it someday, so everyone can have a better long term experience. For any new players reading this, consider it an anomaly. I am. I really wouldn’t worry. The issue is useless characters in the game when you need useful ones. It’s not their fault, it’s not about being old.
One more thing and then I am so done with this. (This is an edit) With one huge caveat, a huge parting of the ways, I would like to thank whoever did this. You could be a traitor, and I would testify against you, but you made something change for the better for me, and I appreciate it. I just didn’t feel like I was being believed on a lot of this until now.
Sorry for my candor, but I feel absolute clarity is critical. We know one thing. Somebody, though maybe with a good heart, is not playing fair. But just telling the truth beats that every time IMO. As long as everyone does it. Then they’re the only one left. Idealistic but I don’t have any better ideas.I’m sure there’s lots of other ones out there.

HI @CharlieDaisy12, could you send the last message without formatting?
I can't see the formatting that you used applied to the message just like code and makes the message very difficult to understand.
Studio has been made aware of the fact that there are elder npsims in town and that players would like them to rotate more often. This has been passed as feedback to the team.
I have not answered this post since I think it was brilliantly addressed by @SalixCat.
