Character name can't be hidden.

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."

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.

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.

This place is considered on every other forum that exists to be completely moronic anyway, mule poster or not.

Read the topics on the first few pages and say with a straight face a lot of them aren't retarded (and made by genuine char posters).

If people could point at something genuine as a reason for the hatred for mule posters then fine but the truth is, there aren't any. Many seem to think it means a damn that your name is there but in reality it adds no value to your posts at all, it's not a seal of quality or intelligence and it doesn't mean you have any more manners than anyone else. You can't even say having a 90 job means you have knowledge of it to comment, many level jobs 1>90 that they have honestly never actually even played anyway (key whoring etc).

Post the names of the mule posters that are such a horrible moronic influence on these forums, lets see if it's worse than the norm.


You can't because you possibly can't understand how anyone but you thinks maybe? ie. You like chocolate ice cream so how could anyone else in the world not like it right?

The way someone sees their ingame time maybe different from the way you view it, or hell maybe they just don't want to be forced to do something they don't want to for no valid reason. Why should people be forced to combine their forum persona to their ingame one if they really don't want to and feel uncomfortable doing so.

You go on and on about how forcing people to show their characters will make people behave but at the same time you certainly are free with the personal insults. You two are proof of why your own argument is invalid.

I read his post and was about to do the same thing you did lol

There are something like 3 people who play FFXI and know my RL name. Privacy is a fairly big deal to me, as I don't really want my RL name associated with an MMO if someone goes to google me. That said, I don't see how keeping your in-game name secret is particularly important.

I wouldn't even click on this thread anymore if I wasn't quasi-fascinated by how much you guys seem to care about something so entirely and unarguably unimportant.

Feel free to point out how I've invalidated my argument.

An admin had to edit your previous post because you were calling people names. And the other post by Scuro was so inflammatory that the admins completely deleted it.
