I agree. It's free advertisement for your services. Why the heck would one not want that?

I personally only buy HQ goods, and only with a name visible. (And a reasonable/not massively undercut price).

yes because i botted a ton of mats, thati farmed using bots which i want to get myself banned from the game i love by using bots, definitely!!!

or maybe I'm in a competition with some FC members and don't want some drama starting over something as petty as a market competition...

In that case you're in an excellent position to collude and price-fix, make some bank.

I always assumed if you make it and list it, it shows your name. If you give to someone and they list it, the name is lost.

I've had someone buy an item and they re-listed it for a lower price, it still had the signature.

yes I see my stuff selling from other retainers all the time. I personally don't like my name to be on it unless I choose it to be. I don't like people knowing who my retainers are. It's just the anonymity that I like.

Personally, I think the signature feature should be optional. I only want my name on stuff that I hand-out as a gift.

If people want free advertisement, glory, and want people sending them tells to craft stuff...that's all well and good; however, not everyone wants that kind of attention.

Not to mention, if SE was so worried about harassment (via /t in dungeons), they should have given this feature a bit more thought.

it actually encourages me to craft all my own HQ gear because i would rather have my own name on the equipment i wear rather than a stranger who i really dont care about that they made it, yet when i am admiring the stats and look of the gear, i always have to see that name like an engraving and its kinda of annoying in my own neurotic weird way, i dont like that feeling.

I just think it's funny when someone in my FC buys something on the MB that I made, because they know I would most likely just give it to them if I had been around.

I'll agree that Examine is somewhat bugged. Or is it by design that you can never see how much spiritbond a person equipment has?
