This isn't Valkurm Dunes, and you arn't White Mage. > >;;;

lol.. i got it.

I dont care if Im in game and you check me out and see my level, i like that....i just dont think its anyones business to be able to look on this site and view my character profile. i would like some privacy

He's talking about the Lodestone, not FFXIV. So many off topic replies. lol.

Beside the before mentioned being bugged to come on a class you don't want, the only other reason I can think of is to hide your craft levels. Other LS members asking you to craft tons of stuff for them and you rather not spend your time breaking 200 crystals or whatever else.

However if this is the case you should probably talk to your LS leadership, and if they are not willing to handle it, or are involved themselves it may be time to move on.

Personally I know leads that use Lodestone profile to check out people that are applying to join. I've used it to quietly check out people in the past who've said "whenever x drops can I have it I'm grinding on it now." Honestly I'm not strongly opposed to it so if they add it I'm still fine, however I enjoy the ease of being able to check out people whom I'm curious about, and check the honesty of people who ask for valuable drops or tell me their new and ask for gear/gil.

THIS is what the OP meant he wishes to 'hide' not his 'in game, currently dressed class' but his Lodestone profile.



I'm not sure what his reasons are but this is what he meant, he said so several posts up. I can *maybe* see his point...you can tell how 'active' someone is by reading their lodestone histories. Also, you can see who friends them etc. This is in addition to what classes you have at what ranks and your stats etc.

I can sorta see why someone might not like this... BUT if you never write in your blog, all they can see is basically who you are in game...and really, your linkshell should know that anyway. It's not like it's 'actual' personal information they have access to.

Oh, I only read the OP and i missed where they said profile. At a quick glance it just looks like an /anon in game request. If it was in game /anon then I find that pointless since you can just look at the character and be able to tell what they are.

I really don't see the issue about people being able to see your profile unless you hang out with douche bag people who make fun of your for dumb stuff like not having something leveled. If that is the case you need new friends or a LS. If it an issue on people wanting you to play a certain class for an event and you wanting to hide it from them that you have it leveled then shame on you. If you join a LS for event related reasons and you don't want to come on a class they need to make the event go smoothly then you don't need to be in a LS like that.

In the end you have control over yourself. No need to hide yourself from people. Be proud of who you are!

It doesn't matter if you're talking about the in-game information, or your lodestone profile. There's zero reason to hide either.

[Griss]

If i remember correctly there was also a bit of a kerfuffle over on the jp side about the time stamps on the history badge thingys.

I don't particularly understand the situation Mr Cactus is in or perceives him self to be in. But Im not going to say anything to the contrary. Ya know perhaps it would be nice if we had a little more control over who got to see what on our profiles.

[Firon]

All of you ppl chewing out the op go ..... yourself but for real if someone wants to hide their info all good for them i don't care and it should not effect you either.

There's also zero reason not to be able to hide either if you want to.

[NoctisUmbra]

Eh.
If people want to hide their profile information so bad, oh well. However should they implement such a feature, I don't want to see any Q_Q threads popping up because players in game think you are shady and don't trust you when you hide your lodestone profile.

Hiding does not solve whatever issue OP is having in his LS. It just avoids it and turns it into something more of suspicion.

[NoctisUmbra]

WHy are you so high and mighty, that you think there is an issue he is having , because he wants his business to remain his business. Pretty trollish of you to assume to blame him of wrong doing or being untrustworthy because he thinks its none of your business if he wipes from front to back or back to front.

Your are wrong to implicate him of misdealings because he wants privacy.

Feel free to take your idealisms back to China with the rest of the communist.

I didn't accuse him of anything. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

I pointed out, as people before me already pointed out in this thread, that hiding your profile will lead to people questioning you. I don't care what the OP did or didn't do. Just saying hiding his profile isn't a solution to his problem.

Also, OP said himself that he wants to hide his profile due to some manner of LS drama.

You pointed nothing out though. You "assume" people will. Then you projected that assumption as fact upon the OP.

You said "Hiding does not solve whatever issue OP is having in his LS." he never said he was having problems. He said he wanted to prevent any. Not to mention your astounding logic, to claim its satisfactory for you to make a false assumtion, just because previous posters did. Wow, thats some thought process there.
