Character name can't be hidden.

Good job hiding behind a mule. Too afraid of being called out in-game?

Of course I'm hiding behind a mule, did you not read the rest of this thread? That's exactly what i'm doing and yes why should anything I say on a forum have an impact in my gaming time?

If I call you a retarded brain dead monkey on the forum feel free to argue with me here or in PM, ill gladly oblige but my game time is seperate. I keep my arguments on the forums, not that I have many but still.

Though I'm sure someone will harass me just to prove me wrong, the only time forum activity has affected my game activity is when people send me tells in game asking if there is anything they could help test / they want to test something and would like to ask me about it. I like that, though there are some times when I don't have anything to offer, so I'm not exactly bothered by it. =p

Btw, good luck figuring out who I am now! Stealth mode activate!

The forums should show your address, real name, and email along with it. [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XI FORUM Guidelines.]

I have no problem with it. Someone has a problem with what I say on the forums, they can come on the game and talk smack to me.

Seriously, bring it. I'll shoot you down every time. >:3

Honestly I've heard this silly argument before many times and it comes from people whos opinions aren't worth valuing anyway, anything you post is judged by the content of the post and nothing else (if you frequent a general discussion chat forum, does what anyone posts have no value unless you have pictures and all their irl info?). I've posted for years on many forums and the fact I didn't paste my ingame char name had ZERO influence on what I got out of posting or what others got out of reading it (good or bad). That will continue to be the case.

So you are more than welcome to your opinion just as I am to not care what you think and know full well that not linking my main account to the post will have zero difference to anyone with half a brain, ultimately though I post here because the devs keep an eye on it not for what anyone else thinks.

And they probably won't listen to a word you say because they'll look at your "MNK lv. 4" and think, "gee, this person doesn't really know what they're talking about."

A post is a post and yes it's judged by the content of the post, not who posts it. But when someone goes through lengths to hide something as harmless as their made-up character name, it makes one question that person's intents, honestly.

As I say the posts are judged by the content of them, it's easy to see if someone knows what they are talking about or not and the value of the post is the post itself. The forum persona you build up from your post history > your piddling name and char level (which in the abyssea age means next to nothing anyway).

You are wrong and the fact that I know you are wrong and have long history of being in this position and it being show to have zero negative impact on anything I post proves this to me.

Let's just agree that I don't care wtf you think and you can gladly do the same, infact feel free to put me and anyone else who does not have a valid fully leveled account on their side bar on ignore, if you truely believe what you post. I'll take a guess you won't which invalidates your whole argument.
