Character name can't be hidden.

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.

This.

You don't visit here much do you? Almost all the worst posters here show their proper character details, check and see.

As for the level 30 thing, you can get to 30 easily in a day with fov on a mule, or a couple of hours if you have the means. What they should do is force you to show all your characters on an account, that way you can't use a mule!

I'm using a gardening account so that wouldn't affect me.

Question is would you really level up a job to lvl 30 just to post if the change was made, just so you could remain anonymous. I don't think most players would they would likely just stop posting because they couldn't get away with being a complete a$$ without putting some work into it, this doesn't apply to all people who link their mules but theres some that abuse the feature to no end and to clean up the forums it needs to be restricted.

I'm still bewildered as to why they show job/character levels.... they don't really make any opinion more/less valid because you've a LVL90AWE/SMN.

Guess it's for those who don't link their FFXIAH/Linkshell Community page and want to verify that they do infact have a LVL90AWE/SMN...

I don't check the forums as much as I used to but who do you consider the worst posters that are posting anon?

More than likely those who purposefully choose a mule so they can "be free to insult on the forum and not have it come back to them in-game."

Hordecore. Dallas. Akujima. Who do you consider horrible posters who are showing off their name?

I never said all of the anon posters are bad. I'm simply challenging your assertion that the worst posters on these boards are not anon. You have yet to provide a specific example of these worst posters who show off their name and "exploits".

Yeah but you assume that people that do that care about being known, infact most trolls are proud of it and are the same ingame, they want to be known. Most of these really hardcore trollers are kept out by being forced into having a valid content id to post.

The problem I have with many that post in this topic is they have no valid argument at all for thier point of view, mule character posters are not raving trolls lashing out at everyone and post many decent additions to the forum. The accusations have very little grounding in the reality of the situation.

There's about 2/10 who genuinely care about the "privacy" aspect of it, and actually contribute to the community.
