Change uuid default

[TheLimeGlass]

Description

We're going to have to change this default setting at some point. So 2.8 should be the standard. We cannot start changing variables without them being uuid in the first place.

Do we need a solution for the aftermath of this change? Existing and future variables which depend on %player% will be desynced due to different index.

Breaking change?

We literally cannot fix existing variables. How are we supposed to differentiate a player name from a variable name. The only way is to start making it their UUID always.

okay dont hate me because i totally want this to be the default too, but i'm worried about how breaking this is. can we maybe add some really annoying warnings in 2.8 and then in 2.9 (or even maybe earlier) change the default?

I'm going to hate you pikachu, but that does sounds sensible.

alsoooooo if we're technically targeting 2.8 for this, we could make 2.7 the version with said annoying warnings 😉

Could we provide to the user the correct way to migrate manually then? so that no one messes up anything

Marked as 2.8 to ensure that we get the warnings into 2.8.
