New BETA Lodestone Character Search Feature and Privacy

[Deli]

there are so many ppl, if someone wants to search me up, i think that's my honor tho. Besides there are lots 3rd party website providing exactly same thing. They can list any player's info, and you have to register to prevent it show to public... so...
I personally like stalkers. I don't think showing my lv, gears, or achievement is that matter, but that's just again imo.

There is a big difference between people who are interested in your profile and blog and people who stalk/harass you. I would be thrilled as well if people read my profile to see which classes/jobs i've leveled, what i have achieved so far and like the stories i write. But, i wouldn't like it if random would keep bugging me in-game for items i can craft, if they send vulgar tells or write them on my blog.

It's their intention that makes the difference.

Even i look at players profiles and blogs to see what they have achieved/written so far. Because, maybe i can help a linkshell member level his/her class, supply them with low level gear (Level 1~10), or write a friendly/funny/constructive comment on their blog.

So, on one side, i agree with you that i don't mind that people can see my profile or read my logs. But on the other side, i want to protect both me and my friends from any forms of (verbal) harassment.
