Tank dps harrasment

...[it is] a feature that is not integrated into the game by SE...[] why should one be expected to go out of their way to not take part of it. I mean to hide your data on the site you need to register an account with the site, claim your characters then go to settings to hide your logs. According to https://www.fflogs.com/help/hidingcharacters

Why should the everyday common player be expected to do that do for a feature not officially supported by SE?

On principle I absolutely agree with you in this regard. It might not be asking much of a player, but I feel it should not be asking at all. No one should have to research potentially esoteric rule-sets of third party tools just to maintain their knowledge or consent over publications of information including them that would otherwise be indistinguishable from publications they, themselves, produced.

I don't think it's a major concern, as I haven't even once seen harassment based upon tools like fflogs, but on principle, I absolutely agree.

But as for other concerns you've mentioned as to harassment and countermeasures therefore, no countermeasures are entirely "free of cost", even if not at direct cost to the game experience, as they still cost development time at the expense of some other, likely more warranted, creation.

I agree nothing is without cost and if I did not make that clear sorry not the best when it comes to conveying points. Just from my personal perceptive if a change can be done that is minimal and has very little effect on the overall game and has the potential to prevent even one negative experience I say go for it. That is just the postilion I hold, and I do understand where many of you are coming from, and while I know my position is naive and sophomoric I do not think I doubt I will ever see the light behind a complete and total reactive mindset to combat harassment. I understand that harassment in general is perspective based, and thus differs from person to person.

I understand and agree with what many have said, the changes that I am asking for do cost associated with them, but from my perspective it is worth it, and I understand for many it is not worth it.
