Hello!!
In light of the recent release of the Xbox version, I would like to offer some suggestions aimed at enhancing the overall quality of the game experience. These recommendations are intended to improve the overall satisfaction of players.
Improving The FFXIV experience: Updating Privacy Protocols, and Universal Party Finder
Considering the recent unveiling of cross-region Data Center Travel functionality within FFXIV, it is imperative to address several pivotal areas necessitating enhancement to optimize its future implementation.
Elevating Privacy Protocols
In response to reported instances of in-game harassment, it is evident that existing privacy measures, notably the block feature, are insufficient in mitigating such incidents. Notably, individuals possess the capability to access sensitive user information via platforms like The Lodestone, thereby warranting urgent action. As it stands, certain personal details, including Data Center, Server name, and housing information, remain publicly accessible. It is imperative to empower users with the ability to toggle the visibility of such information, thus safeguarding their privacy and fostering a more secure gaming environment.
Enhancing Friend List Security
The current functionality of the friend list feature in FFXIV presents a potential safety concern, particularly regarding individuals who have been blocked by users. Despite being blocked, individuals on the friend list can still view the status of the user who has blocked them. This oversight poses a risk to user safety and privacy.
To address this issue promptly and ensure the safety of our users, it is imperative to implement immediate improvements to the friend list feature. Specifically, adjustments should be made to prevent individuals who have been blocked from accessing any information or updates from the user who has blocked them, including status updates.
By enhancing the security and privacy protocols within the friend list feature, should help aim to prioritize the safety and well-being of all users within the FFXIV community.
