I love /anon in FFXI and used it extensively, especially as I was the leader of an active LS and often was asked to do things, administer the LS, just go chat with people, the very minute I logged in. It almost seemed I never got a moment of peace, so I created many alts and often logged in with 'offline' chosen and /anon on. FF14, though, like GW2, makes it very, very difficult to 'hide' on your main character. In fact, say you wanted to avoid a stalker or something by changing name, switching servers, and changing appearance....none of that would matter because a simple google search under any of your old names will redirect to your current character profile on the Lodestone (since it is stored via PlayerID)

The only way to really avoid people you REALLY want to never see or hear from again is to remake a totally new character or alt [I don't think there's a way for anyone to see all of the characters on your account...if there is...*sigh*].

We should have the /anon function here, just as a quality of life thing for those wishing a bit of peace and quiet.
