Character name can't be hidden.

Sort of a lay away plan.

Haha exactly!

They should really adjust it so only characters lvl 30 or higher can post in the forums would eliminate alot of the ignorant posters and trolls and make the forums alot nicer. I doubt someone will go to the extent of leveling a mule from 1-30 for the ability to post on these forums. Only reason people pick mules is because you can get banned in game for posting inappropriatly on the forums. So i see no reason to not restrict it to lvl 30 characters or higher, make them work for the right to post. Instead of letting them run rampant belittling others for their opinions and generally being rude, they wouldn't act like that in game I don't see why they should be allowed to here.

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 imagine the moderators will eventually crack down on the type of misconduct on the forums by the players, and hopefully some people lose their lvl 1 crafting mules with 100 craft skills or nice gear they have on their mules they used as their handle for the official forums when their character gets banned in game, it will teach them a lesson in proper etiquette.

If someone is getting banned ingame for actions on the forum, it will probably be all POL accounts tied to the SE account, not the character linked to the forum profile. Remember, SE was able to ban characters before linking the characters to the forum profile was mandatory.

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...

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.

I only disagree with this sentiment because it would prevent new players and old players returning on brand new characters from posting for perfectly valid reasons. Won't somebody please think of the New Players Forum!

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