    hiding your location in player search and on FC/LS/friends list

    only allow people on friends list to send /tell
    If you set your online status to Busy, it will block all /tells sent to you.

    I'm not exactly sure why you want to hide from your FC/LS mates....perhaps if you want to stay hidden from those people you shouldn't be affiliated with them? Just speculating, this game is kind of supposed to be social. I can understand wanting some privacy, but you could just switch chat logs so you aren't looking at FC/LS chatter and set your online status to Busy so you can't receive tells. Random people can look at your jobs all they want but can't send you a tell if your Busy. And if your chat log is switched to, say, Battle....they can /say and /shout all they want and you still won't see it.

    If "Busy" on your online status isn't enough for these people to realize you aren't available or don't want to be bothered, I'm not sure I would want to see what they have to say anyway

    Mind you, I'm not against /anon...just offering some work-arounds incase this never gets implemented.

    /busy is the win here. Blocks all tells. Any friends etc that you would actually want to talk to, had better be in a LS of FC chat with you, if they're important to you that is.
    Or, just use /afk. Then you can do whatever you want to, as long as people you're trying to avoid don't physically see you doing something, or notice that you're changing zones. Then you can claim you forgot that you set afk on, or something.

    Play your cards wrong, and you're going to look like a jerk for ignoring people intentionally, or a coward for avoiding confrontation. Sometimes you just need to grab your selfish-sack, and tell people "No, I don't really feel like doing [activity]. Some other time"
