Posters on "JOB lv. 1" characters trolling

[Alhanelem]

Trolling happens here because the posters are so easy to troll.

Trolling happens because stupid people with nothing better to do come here to get enjoyment by doing it.

yes actually it has in various games and could well do so

Giving your account name might unlock potential for that, but not character. There's no way to know the POL ID of someone from their character name, since its a random set of letters and numbers and not named by the player, nor is it displayed to anyone on the forums. You are not at any risk of hacking by using your main character versus a mule, and even if you were, how would using a mule character help? it's obvious any level 1 is a mule and probably not a main character- they'd just hack you anyway and get both if they're on the same account or get whatever you're keeping on your mule that's worth anything.

Stopped reading the thread here just to point something out - if a person was silly enough to make their SquareEnix ID the same as their character name it could potentially be a security risk. You can get the POL information out of the SE character management system, so if someone made their SE ID the same as their character name it -might- make them a target.

That's going full conspiracy theory though, like hacks targeting specific players and stuff. Because you still have to get the password for said SE account, and the account has to not have a security token.
