Name HQ Crafted Gear

[DSN]

It could be something silly like the crafter has to be online in order to see their name.

or the transferred servers, changed names, deleted their account. There are a number of reasons a person would no longer exist

The signature is pretty cool, I think. Someone here mentioned about having some credibility to it. I actually had a odd experience with this not too long ago, though.

I had a couple of friends make items for me, and their names did not appear on it. Although, it made the extra bit of room at the bottom as if there was a name there, but it was blank. Also, just recently, both of their names appeared, but vanished again. The same goes with them and my items.

I wonder what the deal is with that.

I personally only buy HQ goods, and only with a name visible. (And a reasonable/not massively undercut price).

In that case you're in an excellent position to collude and price-fix, make some bank.

I always assumed if you make it and list it, it shows your name. If you give to someone and they list it, the name is lost.

I've had someone buy an item and they re-listed it for a lower price, it still had the signature.

yes I see my stuff selling from other retainers all the time. I personally don't like my name to be on it unless I choose it to be. I don't like people knowing who my retainers are. It's just the anonymity that I like.

Personally, I think the signature feature should be optional. I only want my name on stuff that I hand-out as a gift.

If people want free advertisement, glory, and want people sending them tells to craft stuff...that's all well and good; however, not everyone wants that kind of attention.

Not to mention, if SE was so worried about harassment (via /t in dungeons), they should have given this feature a bit more thought.

it actually encourages me to craft all my own HQ gear because i would rather have my own name on the equipment i wear rather than a stranger who i really dont care about that they made it, yet when i am admiring the stats and look of the gear, i always have to see that name like an engraving and its kinda of annoying in my own neurotic weird way, i dont like that feeling.

I just think it's funny when someone in my FC buys something on the MB that I made, because they know I would most likely just give it to them if I had been around.

I'll agree that Examine is somewhat bugged. Or is it by design that you can never see how much spiritbond a person equipment has?
