These things have never worked 
They used to work, trust me. I've had my toon's names on them plenty of times! Thats actually what I was looking for, I've killed about a bajillion illus these last 2 days and wanted to see

They used to work just fine, and I used them.
They were broken in November.

I have not checked in a while, but I use to be on top of Rikti kill list...before they changed the crash site into the war zone

I was told that they were intentionally broken due to spammers getting names from them. Probably not true, but who knows.

Can't come up with a name? Click the link!

That's what I've heard as well - RMT spammers were using them to get names, so now they don't work.

Speaking as a farmer who always had a farm toon on the most kills list I find that a little odd.I would think farmers would be the last person who would need RMT services.
Edit:I should have said "used to" since I rarely farm any more.Hell,I rarely even bother to play.
I too have wondered if it was a bug for the past few months? It was definitely late last year when they were last working. I often tryed to make it into the top 3 for PI. It is good to know why the devs stopped then working, but I find it hard to believe that it was due to spammers. The spam flows seem consistent from last year compared to this year. Also, as Plyxx commented above, what use would it be to spam farmers? They have buckets of inf.
These things could have a game-crashing bug and people probably wouldn't notice for weeks.
They were fun if you were competing with other names on the top10 of whatever you were doing, but they were a nuisance due to people spamming you with all kinds of requests.
The KIOSKS ARE BROKEN. ZOMG!!!!!
Next thing you will tell me is that the Cathedral of Pain doesn't work.
Wow. Playing redside 98% of the time (carefully calculated percentage by the way!) I had totally forgotten about those things.
They really need to be repurposed or have added features that make them relevant to more players. Image if they had never made Wentworth's and instead all the auctioning took place round those, for instance.

Don't they just use the search function? Seems like an easier way to get names since there is no actual player movement involved.
And I know the search function won't show you people using /hide or /ghide.
Info kiosks are one of those things like hazard zones and mission-unlocked stores that are relics from obsolete MMO design that nobody actually liked, and this was handily missing from redside.

Nonsense. No one was forcing anyone to use the info kiosks. There was no inconvenience imposed on people.
As for level-restricted zones, if what you say is true, then presumably there would not have been any new ones after CoV came along and was 'missing' them. Can you say 'Cimerora'?

Nowhere in his post did he say that the kiosks were an inconvenience. Also nowhere did he say anything about level-locked zones, just hazard zones.

What's not to like about hazard zones?
I tried to look at the one in Talos (Liberty server) last night and alll the information was gone, same thing today. I've been afk off and on for like the last 2 months, but I can't find any information on the forums that indicates this is a known issue. Is it?
Thanks!
