I would like to see your source for that claim. Maybe it is different in the US-realms than on the EU-realms. However, over here we have many people using accents that come with their languages: French, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, German. All these languages and many names do have accents. Yes, someone on a default English keyboard will have to use the Character Map or type in the ALT+code, but many WoW players have them right there on their nation's default keyboard map.
Searching the Blizzard support pages, I came up only with [url='http://eu.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=17487&searchQuery=name%20pol icy&pageNumber=1
this[/url]. Searching for 'accents' or 'unicode' shows no hits. Considering that Blizzard does business in these countries and the WoW client does support Unicode characters.
I just named my shamans Ætëam, Ætéam, Æteam, Ætèam and Ætêam, so I have a bit of an interest in the question. ;]
