Character name can't be hidden.

Why is this still going? lol

Stop posting in it if you don't like it.

Because truly creepy people ignore "no."

Define worst, and point out a few specific examples. As far as I'm concerned, almost all of the absolute worst posters on these boards post anonymously.

I proved without a doubt that I was the only person capable of perpetuating the longest thread.

Your thread isn't something to be proud of.

I have told everyone who I am

No, but we can pretty much guess.

I am the same poster from wiki forums who directly caused 2 unpopular pet jobs to be nerfed. I had a choice. Share with the entire community, report it as broken and avoid it, or risk a Salvage-esque end to my gaming career. Post nerf, both jobs still jumped 6 positions in the census because of my choice.

Straw man much?
a) Other players reported it on this site, not you. I see nothing you said that insinuated you would report the problem.
b) Neither job saw a rise in popularity because of the nerf, not to mention, lol 'your choice'. Good luck finding any kind of correlation there. You may as well claim the sun rises because you open your eyes in the morning.

Did we ever get to the reason why they wanted the names to show? Maybe it if was stated then people could chose better what jobs they want people to see. If it was so that people could contact you in game, I can understand why people chose not to show it. If it was to see which job you consider to be your main well I have 11 main jobs. I rotate as necessary. If its the current job you are working on then thats the one I published. If it was to establish some sort of hierarchy over others who dont have the same job levels, that was just wrong. If it was to link people to chars then why display it.

2. On my last online game I was followed by some guy who wanted to date me even after I changed servers. I used the same name for my Character on both games it fits me to a T.

You were (what sounds like) e-stalked in some game, changed servers, kept the same name, then made a character on a different game with THE SAME NAME again, and you're worried about being stalked? Why would you use the same character name if you are really worried about being e-stalked? Does not compute...

Do whatever your creepy desires tell you to do.

Well I just got my Mule registered.
Good to be back to the forums.

kinda lame how SE requires ur ingame info to be registerd to public.
I think this should be optional because people have different preferences and that should be fine.
SE does have our in game info, I dont see why we must be required to let everyone else know as well.

Oh well. =)

There is no requirement. I understand the frustration must be exponentially bad for everyone who planned harassing people in game.

I think it was more so people could avoid having to play with people who display a complete lack of working knowledge of this game. It would have been nice to know who exactly to avoid in game it's a shame they didn't make registering your main mandatory

Many other official game forums use the account and/or character information integrated with them. I don't see any problems with that, being the official site. It does of course depend a bit on how it is implemented but nevertheless, there will always be those who do not want to (for a reason or another) display their "main character(s)" and that's fine. If one does not agree with that, it's usually better to just ignore it, than to start tossing accusations and whatnot.

I always judge a post by its content, not by the poster (books and covers). Others of course do, and they're free to do so too, but I really don't see what people are arguing about here, or why. Seems just a rather pointless tossing of obvious statements from side-to-side...

Not everyone "hiding" behind a "noob-char" are bad. Just like not everyone showing the "main-char" are good. Personally I'd probably show a level 10 (lowest I have) job if I could, just for my own weird little fun.

In the end, we are free to just not use these forum-boards though I am sure they appreciate constructive criticism. :]


One might say make peace and happy, optionally love, not war. ^^
Just my thoughts anyways~


Edit:

Oh, it has updated the job now.
Yay.
