"Internal account ID" being seen.

Please tell me that your actual account ID like the one you else to log into the game, mogstation, store, etc. Isn't being sent to clients .
Please tell me the ID they are referring to is their account ID that only means something to them, and that the people using this addon cant get your actual ID to try to login with.

bump. this needs to be handled SE.

we aren't going to magically forget that the bl system you implemented to help prevent harassment, did the exact opposite.

Have there actually been any cases of the plugin being used to further stalk players on their alts? We all know that's what it's for and in theory it can be used to that end, but has it happened yet?

what's your point? even if there hasn't been, the exploit square created should still be fixed.

Hold up, let me just ask the entire playerbase real quick.

That's a "no" then.

Don't see why it matters if it has or hasn't.

There is no justification in a tool that collects account IDs and maps characters and alts to a single ID in an unsolicited manner.

Besides most people just aren't going to immediately know if their stalking or harassment is as a result of this third-party tool or not. People do not have crystal balls, they aren't practicing wizardry. They are going to be concerned about harassment long before, and the fact remains this tool is a very big enabler of this (when there is no other justification for it to exist). Further to this most people are just not going to announce their woes on the internet. Some might, but it's hardly a norm circumstance.

Ok ok. I was responding to this ->

Which made it sound like harassment got worse because of this plugin, but to everyone's knowledge it hasn't.
