We have confirmed that there exist third-party tools that are being used to check FFXIV character information that is not displayed during normal game play. The tool is being used to display a segment of an FFXIV character's internal account ID, which is then used in an attempt to further correlate information on other characters on the same FFXIV service account.
So the game shares an internal account ID with the client. If this is not supposed to be seen, that seems like the root problem to me.
  • Is this issue going to be fixed?
  • When can we expect this to be fixed?
