    That being said, Letting other people effect your life is never a wise solution, especially when it directly impacts your ability to socially interact with others, online or off.

    You're only hurting yourself in that endeavor.
    You grossly overestimate the impact 6 y.o. arguments have on someone who ignored them when they were generated.

    Since you asked, this was a long time ago, a while before tokens were even announced...when a set of HQ staves alone cost a couple million, upwards of 500k for certain ones and they were considered a bargain. It wasn't uncommon to fork out 600K+ just for an acceptable body piece, more for the HQ version. A lot of people got attacked, and it usually resulted in everything being swiped, but for some reason I only had the items specific to one job swiped, and it was the only gear showing on both FFXI and the LS site at the time. SE hinted at the fact that it may have had something to do with my gear being on the sites, and wanted the names of people I added to my friend list recently so they could investigate them, then advised that I clean up my friend list and get my data pulled from the sites.

    The suspicious nature of that incident is what has prompted me to be a little more protective of my information, so I shared the story is all. Others have alluded to the fact they have been stalked and such--this kind of fits with that side, it just gives some specific details is all.

    I'm absolutely opposed to this. I'm a diehard advocate of privacy and anonymity in all facets of the internet, and forcing people to reveal information they want to keep private is never acceptable. If people want to share such information, that's their right, but requiring it for everyone is intolerable. If this goes through as stated then the 27th will be my last log in here.

    This is the Internet. You lose your rights to privacy the moment you place one bit of information on it. Every site has a Terms of Service and if you violate that in any regard they have all the right in the world to take the necessary steps of punishment.

    Your FFXI character is not yours, it is not your private property, it is not meant to be your private property. Anyone stupid enough to allow critical information to be displayed freely on FFXI is subject to the consequential occurrences that may take place, and I have no pity for them.

    You are renting a character from Square Enix, and by posting on these forums you agree to everything they set. If they say you have to link your forum account to at least one character on your account, then you have to do that and are obligated to do so if you intend to continue playing, and posting on these forums. Even if you don't like it, even if you think it's not secure, you need to because SE is making you do so. And they're not violating anything except maybe this new thing called "human rights"; but who pays attention to those anyway?

    With that said, I would highly advise a "Privacy" toggle for what information is displayed. Otherwise the QQ will never end.

    None of this has anything to do what-so-ever with any private information.

    Yes, but people are still sitting here complaining about the issue nonetheless. When it really is no big deal.

    Hence what I said earlier about people blatantly having something to hide.

    Maybe people from Quetzalcoatl are just more jaded than others in this regard, since we had a server forum for a long time, on which people were actually required to identify their character names.

    You know what the only fallout was?

    When someone was retarded, we knew who was retarded, and could thus avoid them in-game because... well... they were retarded.

    nono, you don't seem to understand because you fail to see anything from another persons point of view. You see, just because something fails to bother you does not ring true for everyone else.

    To some this is an unnecessary change they don't want to be forced to do, as such they will simply not be forced to do it and stop posting after that date. This assuming they make you use the highest character on the account. As such there will be no "QQ" after the date.

    The issue here is if it upsets people and serves no purpose why are any of you arguing for it? Stop trying to bash on people that are saying they are against it just because you don't care one way or the other, if that's the case why post? You aren't a lackey for Square and this isn't your personal crusade for something you want.

    These forums already stop a large portion of the playerbase posting here because of the stupid login system, this is just another thing to turn away more posters. For a forum made to link with the playerbase they are sure doing a good job and alienating a large portion of them.

    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.
