[QOL Suggestion] /anonymous, can i have it?

[Ransu]

I would love to at least hide the fact I logged in from my FC... or hide my online status from my friend's list too.

Sometimes I just want to play quietly.



There are some days, a person just wants to lay low or not talk.

There's plenty solo-content in the game I want to do from time-to-time without having to interact with others.

Some days you wanna be introverted & make sole-progress in your MMO, it doesn't defeat the purpose... the purpose of sole-progression is for the multiplayer end of things.

Then just don't log in for the day? MMO's are a social interaction. Again, /anon defeats the purpose of MMO's. I always found that feature in FFXI to be completely stupid.

basically this, i hate having to ignore people when they ask me with help with a dungeon or primal or whatever. but im a lazy person, sometimes i would rather just log in and stand on a roof and watch the people that run by and not have to explain myself to other people why. but rather than tell people no, i just dont feel like it, i either have to ignore them or make up some excuse or lie.

id rather just go /anon so i can do nothing in peace

Then why even bother logging in?

sometimes i dont feel like raiding or running a dungeon, not to much to ask to be able to go private if you want.

So then don't? Why do you need to ignore people by pretending to be offline? You just simply tell them you don't feel like doing that specific content for the day.... *logic*

Meh, XI was a much more group oriented, community based game and it had this option. Inter-server DF has a far more detrimental effect on communities and that's in the game.

And I always found the feature to be pointless. As for cross server queuing. Its hardly detrimental on communities. I came across more assholes/loot ninjas in swtor than in FF14 and swtor is a single server queue. Cross server has nothing to do with it, its just a simple fact that people like that exist regardless if its on a same server queue or not. The positives of a cross server queue FAR outweigh any "detrimental" effect of them... Or would you rather wait 3 hours in a dungeon queue instead of maybe 10-20 minutes as DPS? Cuz that's how it was in swtor. At one point in swtor I forgot I was even queued. It popped like 5 hours later while I was in the middle of crafting and doing dailies.
