Bullying on FFXIV

[Preypacer]

You are not looking at the big picture; if everyone had to show who they where they would be far less likely to grief, and could actually face legal punishment easier when necessary.

You assume everyone thinks, or even cares about the possible ramifications of their actions.

Have you ever seen some of the stupid crap people will pull, and then seem surprised - or worse, completely unaffected - when they're caught?

Implementing a system on the assumption that it's going to be an effective deterrent for everyone is rather naive.

Some people simply don't care. Some think it's funny, or even cool when they're busted. There's a lot of very unstable people out there. And yes, some of them do play MMOs.

Hiding your real identity is all well and good, but when its linked to you you are much less likely to be a douche.

Apparently you don't see some of the things posted on people's Facebook pages. XD

Seriously, I don't know what's so hard about using the blacklist. If you're drawing this kind of attention to yourself in the first place, you probably deserved it. I've played online games since Diablo and Starcraft and tended not to engage in general jackassery. I've never had these kinds of problems with people bugging me in games, probably because I've never created a reason for them to do so.
