Character name can't be hidden.

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

For you, it's simple. Avoid all other SMN. One of them is bound to get Hvergelmir.

Nah I'd just like to avoid you in game, you've proven yourself time and again here to be both arrogant and clueless in equal measure. For the record I'd gladly team up with a melee SMN if I knew I could trust them to be smart, you however I wouldn't group with(knowingly) regardless of job.

If you hate being subpar, you'd only allow yourself to be seen next to me once. Chances are very good that I'd make you change to one of your melee jobs, since no one needs that buff cycle garbage.

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.

FFXI really isn't the same game it was in the past, the rep aspect is nowhere near as big a deal anymore. I've been in Abyssea parties with people I really don't like and just shrugged it off, not like you are going to get into a deep and meaningful conversation while doing dom ops or farming seals where being against someone on a forum will matter.

Only time I can think of when it could possibly matter is if you were in the same LS, even then though people act differently ingame than on forums. Well many seem to.

This thread is so funny. The only people people who care that their characters name/server are displayed are those with something to hide.
The only thing that remains is what they are hiding, whether they're hiding from an e stalker, or hiding their incompetence by trying to remain anonymous as they say nothing of value or just have no understanding of how the game works and don't want it to come back to them in game.

"Only people with somethng to hide are worried about privacy"

That's a bulls**t argument. Always has been and always will be.

Privacy does not require justification.
