Apologies for contradicting what you are saying, however, even if SE were to implement said features it will not necessarily stop it. I'll assume anyone who would want to stalk anybody and is adamant about it the player search feature is the place for it to happen, granted you would have to be online for yourself to be found I think a stalkers mind would literally not let go of stalkee and consistently keep looking up your name while they are online, thus, still showing your position in the FFXIV world you are on when you are online.
The issue is that even if I were to change my name - The person still has 100% access to the character name that it's changed to. If you have someone on your friends list - even if they have you blacklisted - it reflects name changes and server jumps. I have just learned even if you transfer off the data server, your name changes to (character unknown - world unknown) Even if you have THEM blacklisted, the same happens. I think even that feature should be changed and instead of a character name for blacklist, it should reflect the character ID just for both parties sake. But the problem is still that SE does absolutely nothing to fix the friend list. I am 100% fine with people knowing I had a character change if it means fully REMOVING my private teleports that they have access to even if they're on my blacklist. That's the part of stalking that bugs me. This person could easily pull up my FC teleport to teleport to it - Which they have. So there is so much more that could be done and prevented - I shouldn't have to fully delete a character because a single person won't leave me alone and neither should anyone else. Sure - ban the crazies. But things still need done by SE to prevent this besides being told the same thing everyone has been told: Go to the forums and make a suggestion. Nothing has been done about this person by the way - even though this person has had at least 5 reports from myself and others about stalking. Like I said in my original post, we are told to basically deal with it and that they would look into the issue and to post on the forums - which totally helps as we can all read. Thanks SE.
