Option to privatize or opt-out of lodestone displaying character. Show your support!

There needs to be a privacy option to restrict who can view your Lodestone page:

• Public
• Friends, Free Company, and Linkshells
• Friends and Free Company
• Friends
• Private

If you attempt to view a restricted Lodestone profile, an error will say that either no such character exists or the character's Lodestone profile is restricted by privacy settings. It wouldn't specify which. There is already the option to restrict your online status, achievements, friends list, and followers list. That should be expanded to restrict the entire Lodestone profile page.

They also need to make it so if you block another player, you are automatically removed from their friends list and cannot be added back unless you unblock them.

They also need to make it so Lonestone profiles can no longer be accessed with the character's ID number. You can only access it if you know the name and realm of the character, like in WoW.

Given that there have been instances of stalking and harassment in the past, and such a blatant tool exists to facilitate it, I wouldn't be surprised if SE gets sued over it.

Yes to all this.

This feature is going to be implemented in a new update. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...ch_option_qol/
