Oh wow, I had no idea. I went to check your page and don't see any of your alts, so I guess it must be true. There's an option to make it not visible??? Where is that, I don't even see it. Gonna make a correction to my post.

I use the desktop version so not sure if this works on the mobile site. Settings - edit character - click on the alts to turn the plates gray. You can also swap the forum avatar by clicking the star. The star character will always be visible.

Wooooow how did I never know? Just tested it out, cool. I edited my post just now, thanks for letting me know.

Every character should be visible and all achievement data should also be visible. It's a quick way of seeing if people are worth a spot

Some people buy clears. If you're recruiting people for a static, have try outs instead.

I would love this but those who don't want their information displayed on the parsing site would be screwed because said sites force you to use the little comment thingmajig to "exclude" yourself from the results.

See I agree with this....its a double-edged sword.

Nobody for any reason deserves harassment and to be stalked.
AT THE SAME TIME, Said idea CAN be used to Harass and Stalk other people.

If you want to be a Private Person and not share your info. Cool, I support this.
But if you can just toggle it on and off, then this can be used as a Consequence-Free / Get-out-of-jail-FREE Card.

This is already happening even without an option to privatize your lodestone page. People can make an alt, new account, or trial account to hide, which is essentially the same thing. The one who suffers the most is the victim.

And that's what fflogs are also for. Have to check every base. It's very easy to spot a buyer when you have all the info
