Character name can't be hidden.

Er... I've seen screenshots from all manner of games with players' names not blacked out on 4chan.

Good lord, you people are paranoid.

It doesn't matter what our reasons are we have them and since this forced feature doesn't even do what they wanted it to (since we are here using mules) why anger a portion of your paying subsribers pointlessly? Just add a hide feature and everyone is happy, that's all those of us with an issue have here.

We aren't saying those that want to share this information should not be allowed to, just that those of us that don't want to should not be forced to. In light of how stupid they did it there should be no argument against this at all...unless you just want something that annoys some people for no reason at all.

the thing that makes me really LOL is that SE / FFXI is one of the most uninformative/secretive games i ever seen and lack clear and concise disclosure of whats happening before hands. This being updates or emergency maintenance or whichever and any one who has played this game for more then a month knows exactly how frustrating this can be. Yet they try to force us to disclose information against our will. Give us the option to do so and they need to quit being so secretive... like people asking earlier in other posts how do you activate fool killer or fatality belt.... they just tell us go figure it out...

I know the mods here read this post, can we get a word as to whether there is a chance of a hide feature at all?

I hope they don't offer any hide feature.
Why? Because anyone who hides on a mule isn't contributing anything worthwhile, if they were, they wouldn't be hiding on a mule. Personally I think it would be nice if this site made you log in with your main characters name and post from that and it displayed your server as well as linked to your linkshell community beta page, and they should update LS community to be as awesome as guildwork or ffxiah, it would eliminate a lot of the stupid ideas/rants/posts and make these forums a lot better. Giving people the ability to hide will result in more hordecores and stupid trolling, why would anyone want that?

The post was asking the staff, I'm well aware some love seeing peoples char names but I wasn't asking that.

The vast majority of stupid posts I've read on here were made by a linked poster, your idea although nice does not work out that way in reality. Check the forums yourself.

What have you done that's worthwhile to this forum? Almost everything everyone posts here is garbage, don't even try that "worthwhile contributor" rubbish.

I and many otehrs are hiding behind mules, we don't care enough to troll anyone. If certain people are a problem, ban them.

The vast majority of dumb posts/threads came from hordecore, who doesn't post anymore, lets keep it that way.

All I've ever really done is crusade against bad ideas for ninja. I did do/post the math for why throwing is terrible, why ranger is terrible, why ninja is terrible on anything remotely difficult and why yonin and innin are garbage though.

SE won't need to ban them if they make them link their character name and server, then people will be more careful about what they say, or just become a joke in game and not just on the forums where it didn't matter what you said, until now.

He didnt post from behind a mule.

Yeah so nothing any better than anyone else.

If people want to be a problem knowing their ingame name won't stop them doing it, they don't care >.> If people are using a mule it doesnt make them a troll/bad poster either. Nobody cares about what you post on a forum ingame as to it ruining a persons rep for being a dumbass, even moreso in the abyssea age.

Oh, you mean Hordecore is still posting? last I saw he hadn't registered a character.

It helps a lot, because people who hide behind a mule are basically known to be full of it. Look at that melee SMN guy for instance, and as I said, Hordecore doesn't even post anymore and never registered a character, that alone was worth it.

On the other hand, you could have just listed a low level job on your main so everyone would assume it's a mule.
