Character name can't be hidden.

Not everyone is the same, I know many posters enjoy being linked to their posts on a forum but that's not everyone. Some people just want to be able to play the game in peace but yet still have a place to express their opinions.

Remember that post a while back about fixing 100pdt pets and all the mouth breathers saying they were going to bother the person that made the topic? Sure it's only a game but many of us play the game as a source of relaxation and want to just play the game without having to worry about being bothered, good or bad from posts made on a forum.

For people that like the link and that already make it obvious who they are for the "fame?" or something this is a non-issue, for people that just want to state their opinions and have their game time totally seperate it will stop them posting. Unless you think that group of people have nothing worthwhile to contribute to this forum and them stopping posting is no loss?

The main thing I don't get is just what the point of it is, if it's purely being done to stop trolls they don't understand trolls at all. The worst ones revel in the fame of it and usually use their ingame name to post with in the first place anyway...hell they probably troll port jeuno as bad as they do here.

What I can see happening is this being applied to eu/us players and jp being exempt, many of them go bat crazy if you as much as examine them still let alone this.

This is Exactly how I "FEEL" actually...
I do not wish people to know my main char name on forums because I do not wish people from these forums to bother me. I just wish to express my opinions and feelings towards the current stats and still be able to play the game in one peace.

Your example about the "fixing 100pdt pets and all the mouth breathers saying they were going to bother the person that made the topic" is one of the main reasons I would NOT like this feature to be made. I may make posts that a lot of people may like and I may make post that some will not like and I do not wish people in game to know my in game name and judge me based on my opinion and expression towards these forums as a gamer in general. I just wish to game in 1 peace while I am able to post here.

I'm not the type of player who wishes everyone to know who I am because I do not like the idea of people trying to stalk me or others for what ever reason there may be or for no reason at all.

That is just how I am.
This needs to be optional in my opinion.

I may discontinue posting on these forums if I feel uncomfortable but only time well tell from here on out.
