Question regarding blacklisting . . .

[Peregrine]

Sir, you need to calm down.

Why do we have people wanting to hide their profiles? If you're going to talk smack they have a right to know you're a R33 pugilist without raging strike.

Calm as a cucumber.

Recognize.

Can't you at least recognize what I'm really trying to communicate here? Instead of, like I keep pointing out, getting extremely technical and looking passed the actual issue I've brought up; I'm not trying to make enemies here. That's actually the exact problem I'm trying to avoid right now, the typical troller with nothing better to do than hassle me.

Wait. I'm being a "typical troller"? You attacked a mod for trying to help you. I merely pointed out that you're attacking people who are trying to help you. There's nothing "extremely technical" about that.

Take a deep breath, man. You're lashing out indiscriminately right now. If you want help, it might be a good idea to not insult the people who are trying to help you.

just look passed it and answer my question or don't respond; don't delegate the issue towards someone else or point out more of my idiosyncrasies. I'm doing it right now, I know, but I'm not the one who tipped that domino.

You came here for help. The mods are trying to help you. You attacked them. You are the one who tipped that domino.

And by the way, being rude and attacking people who are trying to help you is not an "idiosyncrasy."

If you were shopping in a store and everyone who worked there was giving you the run around, wouldn't you be a little upset and want to point it out? If at least to better communicate with said associates? Turning a negative into a positive? Correct the situation? That's all I've been trying to do to no avail.

If I went into a company with a question about my bill, I wouldn't ask someone who works on the factory floor. If they passed my question on to the people who would actually have the answers -- say, the billing department -- I wouldn't accuse them of giving me the run-around. I would thank them.

But yeah, from now on I'm holding off on all the rhetoric. I feel like a tool now. Which seems to be the running gag with my FFXIV experiences as of late.

Relax. Deep breaths.

Your issue is not a hardcore vs. casual gamer issue. There's no reason that hardcore gamers would know about the blacklist. Nor is there any reason that hardcore gamers would give you a hard time for not knowing about the blacklist.

The answer to your question is yes, I think that person can still check out your character profile on Lodestone. The stuff that's posted on Lodestone is public. You don't have to have a game account to view it. So even if the player was barred from viewing your stuff on Lodestone, he could just log out of his player account and be able to view it.

But I don't see why that should concern you. Your personal information is not listed anywhere on Lodestone. That person can't communicate with you. If he continues to grief you, report him to a GM.

And relax.
