Re: Regarding the Use of Third-Party Programs and Player Safety

you complain about people using quotes for "hysterics" then do the exact same to continue to downplay this issue.

No where in this thread did I complain about people using quotes as being hysterical. You're confusing me with another poster. Might I suggest taking a step back and taking a deep breath?

she also did not give away personal information to strangers????? you assume so much.

So "people" is now just a singular 'she'.

The plugin doesn't give away personal information that can lead to IRL stalking, which means one of three things.

1) You're making 'her' up to try to prove a point, which is the likely scenario.

2) She gave away her personal information to strangers in FFXIV, which is no one else's fault but her own. A hard lesson to learn, but still a lesson.

3) This happened outside of FFXIV altogether which is completely meaningless to the discussion at hand, as this is about the plugin causing stalking within FFXIV.

Which is it?

at this point so much damage has already been done that leaving the blacklist as is in it's 7.0 state is the only viable option IF square does not want to fix the issue at hand (which they won't). that much I agree with you on.

Sounds like to me you just needed an excuse to be angry on the forums.

it's not a security issue, it's a peace of mind issue. people are reluctant to log into a game where they know they are being harassed. it's not fun. it's no longer the escape it was and no one deserves that.

Of course it isn't a security issue. No actual personal information or data is being leaked.

also calling it hysterics? jeez.

The blacklist feature still works. The plugin doesn't change anything.
