First thing that came to mind was why Asuna never tried flying/hovering with her wings while she was hold captive? If she knew how to fly, she could have jumped from the world tree, used her wings to slow down her fall near ground and safely land in Aarun. There she could have made a random player contact a GM and have him log her out.
I know there are a few flaws, like you wouldn't be able to get down from the world tree (wall from patch) or her wings are only decoration, but it would have been worth trying (if she could fly/hover in the first place).
Wow, those few seconds showing her relieved face would have been more than enough for her to press log out, but the author just had to decide that she was to be the maiden, waiting for her prince riding on a white horse. There was nothing that prevented her from waiting, at least until they were positioned further away, making it more difficult to spot her.
I'm betting those scientists chose tentacle monsters, because they offered more arms to feel up NPCs. Another interesting fact is that Asuna biting his tentacle caused considerable pain, while Kirito getting slashed by Eugene simply continued steamrolling. ALO's pain level can be increased to, or at least close to, real life pain.
So Suguha knew Asuna's character name, probably because Kirito kept saying it, but she never knew his character name. As a result, when Yui informed him of Asuna, she was rejected (again), without her knowing.
