Removal of names when unfriending someone

[Natama]

I really wish this thread would get more recognition considering how dangerous of a situation this could turn into. Seems that we are told by Game Masters to make a thread that they completely ignore and continue to not take into account when it comes to their players safety. I was supposed to be sent to a higher GM in regards to the stalking and instead the ticket was simply closed and nothing ever came of it. How is that fair to any player who pays money to a video game to support it? Why do our predators have leniency while the victims suffer in silence while nothing gets done? Come on, SE - ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE!

Unfortunately nothing has changed as far as removal of names from the "friend's" list. It will never change because frankly SE doesn't care that people are stalked or harassed sometimes in this game. You can transfer your character to another data center and change their name and it won't do any good. Even if you transfer to another data center, people can still track you via the lodestone if they still have you on their friend's list. The lodestone reveals the world where you transferred to, if you joined a FC on that new world and the name of it, and other pertinent/personal information. In this game, there is no such thing as privacy and the sad part about the whole situation is that SE uses some ridiculous excuse for not doing what is right according to what I have read in previous forum postings regarding this issue (SE uses a "privacy" excuse). If I remove someone from my friend's list, then that means I no longer care to associate with them in the game and that is my choice! SE doesn't seem to understand that though. As mentioned above, the lodestone is a stalker's venue for following you. When you add someone to your friend's list, it's a double edged sword that could possibly prove to be a very bad decision.
