Option to privatize or opt-out of lodestone displaying character. Show your support!

I'm happy to know that removing someone from your friendlist will also remove you from their list as well in a later update.

can someone confirm this to be true? and if so, when do they plan to release this?

My husband having a player stalking him in game since a few years, I’m all for it.
Even with a name change, that person can find him too easily. ^^;

I'd be all for this. I was stalked for years in the previous MMORPG I played, since people were able to track everything; ultimately ended up quitting partially because of it.

Like this post if you want the option to privatize or opt-out from having your character information (including name and character appearance) publically displayed on lodestone.

We need an option to completely hide our Character on its lodestone URL, so if someone navigated to say /YourCharactersIDHere/ (the characters unique ID number) the page would not show anything at all, just a message (This Character cannot be viewed). The same would apply to a name search, say Kitty Cat on Seraph, it should only show the name in text form with a message saying (This Character cannot be viewed).

One more incredibly important thing we need is, when YOU remove someone from YOUR friend list, YOU must be removed from THEIR friend list, this needs asap attention, and it needs to also affect the lodestone, YOU need to be removed on any NON friend, friend list on lodestone, so there is NO possible way to stalk someone.

Yoshi P for some odd reason god knows why. Thinks that peoples feelings will be hurt if you are removed from their friends list when you remove them from yours. *shrugs* Goes without saying if you remove somone from your friends list, your likely not concerned about their feelings.

I have no horse in this race no dog in this fight no chicken in this pen. But anything that could help make it harder for players to find and harrass others I support.

I think that was a failed way to attempt keeping people conflict free, so to not deal with the entire conversation of “why did you delete me” and instead to just fade someone out without them having any idea you are doing so.

Tbf there are other ways to do it and still maintain that aspect.
It could be that putting someone on your blacklist would remove you from their friendslist, so you have the option to do it either way.
