Name HQ Crafted Gear

how can i get my name off the HQ crafted gear?

you can't.. it will always show the one who crafted it.

Yup, SE said it would be automatic and you can't remove it.

so i guess its random then since i see others without a name

The ones with no name are leftovers from 1.0

Seems weird that people don't want to be credited for their own work... o_O

i have my reasons :D

What's strange is the name only displays on the Market and for the person holding it, but you can't see it on another person when you examine them. I don't know why you would want to remove it though unless you're trying to do something like hide your retainers.

You can see your own crafter's names. But others can't see yours. You can't see other's.

On the Market Board if you look through gear some of them have names and some of them don't (even if both were clearly crafted and not some quest reward that somebody dumped), which is why I'm sure the OP is asking. I could look through crafted gear and immediately tell who owns the retainer by the name displayed on the equipment. I still don't see how that's a bad thing though, but to each his own I guess.

I'm on a non-Legacy server and still see it so it's either a bug or there really is a way to remove them after the fact.

Because you botted a ton of materials to mass produce HQ crafts?

If you /examine someone, you won't see it. I think you should be able to see it.

Nope - It's just bugged currently. When I /examine people I can see who made items sometimes and sometimes I can't just like sometimes I can see if something is slotted with Materia and sometimes I can't.

Just one of the many odd little bugs that popped up post launch.

Or maybe is the type who likes to undercut to the point of 0 profit, and doesn't want people to seek him out to call him on it.

It could be something silly like the crafter has to be online in order to see their name.

or the transferred servers, changed names, deleted their account. There are a number of reasons a person would no longer exist

The signature is pretty cool, I think. Someone here mentioned about having some credibility to it. I actually had a odd experience with this not too long ago, though.

I had a couple of friends make items for me, and their names did not appear on it. Although, it made the extra bit of room at the bottom as if there was a name there, but it was blank. Also, just recently, both of their names appeared, but vanished again. The same goes with them and my items.

I wonder what the deal is with that.

Or it could be someone who prefers their anonymity and does not want butt hurt crafters who are not as efficient to start a witch hunt...

I'd bet it's a combination of all 3. The moral of the story? Have morals and sensibility, and you won't need to worry.

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?
