Give me an option to hide my @name

My name will now show as:
[@vamp.emily]Vamp Emily
why not just Vamp Emily it looks cleaner/better that way. But then again I like to know who I am playing with in PvP, some people create new characters and I can never tell if it was someone I used to play with before. So the change maybe good for me.
Yeah, the way it's designed is silly. (As I said, for instance, the title is next to your account name, not your character). And I do not mind the principle that some people let it be seen "who they are". I just think it should be their choice1 -
Aleraon✭✭✭✭I'm not too fussed if people see mine but I don't want to see everyone else. It's just unnecessary clutter on screen.
Maybe they're trying to give us PC users the console feel, or they're just making the UI the same as console so they don't have to work on different versions. Wish they'd leave us with the nice clutter free interface we're used to.(EU/AD) CP501 Razum-dah - Khajiiti Templar Healer

JustanImage✭✭✭I don't see any @ names at all, I guess it's because "show names" is completely 'off'
Does that also mean no one can see mine?
If not, please make it work that way as I don't like other people seeing my @ name (for whatever reason.)1 -

@Roehamad_Ali I'm pretty sure that's what the "prefer character name or prefer account name" setting is for, so you set it on what you prefer to see. Should be under nameplates settings.
Thanks for the reply . I read down further as well . Looks like we can't opt for old UI I enjoyed . I really don't mind people seeing my name I just want to enjoy not starring at others . I like watching the graphics not player data .2 -

✭✭✭✭✭The option "Prefer Character Name" should be changed to "Show only Character Name".
I don't want to see people's @name. It is ugly. I've been saying this on the PTS forums for the last five weeks.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

✭I have no strong feelings about this change either way but see the potential for more harm than good w/ this change.

Security issues aside, suddenly forcing me to display information that wasn't so readily available before makes me uneasy just on principle. A toggle would be lovely.5 -
Moonscythe✭✭✭✭✭I'm on console so we still have to look at people's dumb gamer tags but I have a question. On PC we could always see a character's name if it was moused over and that is what I assumed we would get on console. Are you saying that what you see now is the @name which is, of course, our account/forum name plus the character's name? And it will be floating over everyone's head all the time? I hated the floating names when I was trying out Neverwinter. It just clutters the screen especially in the cities.
I don't have an issue with my account name being visible but it seems unnecessarily cluttery when put in front of my character names which are already long.Scura di Notte - Altmer Nightblade (gear)
Lalin del Sombra - Bosmer Sorcerer (alchemy/enchanting)
Angevin Sarkany - Bosmer Dragonknight
Alkemene Velothi - Dunmer Warden (Morrowind)

Naria Andrano - Dunmer Templar

✭from a security standpoint of view using your account name anywhere in game is simply ret****.
but that's what is happening when developers have no idea what they are doing (again, from a security standpoint of view - this is a common issue and leads to many vulnerabilities. but that's another topic).
anyway, there were ways to get your account name by only knowing your in game name (requires to be in the game and interact with you).
but i completely agree, that this information should stay hidden. everywhere would be way better.We want firing off Dark Exchange in the middle of combat to feel awesome... - The Wrobler

Blo0dstorm✭✭✭I think it breaks immersion, first because of the @ in front of it which doesn't look very elderscrolls, lore wise, and second because some might have taken the time to find a character name matching their race, just to see it spoiled by an account name like mike1459.5 -

It's as secure as your PW and the PW of your email.
The only player I know who got hacked here blamed Zos because it couldn't be the password he has used for over a decade for all games he played and his email account. Lol
Think about it. Our emails are the account name for our email. Have good password security and you'll be fine. Lax on passwords and one is asking for it.2 -

give me the username you're using in your e-banking. oh you wouldn't, right? i guess only [snip] would.
and this here is exactly the same from a technical / security perspective (of course without the same impact).

My sources are anecdotal. I asked all 5 of my guilds, zone chat (saw people compain about it too), as well as this forum post. You can nit-pick if you want about how unscientific it is, (and you'd be right, it may be 89%) but it doesn't change the fact that it doesn't look right and many people agree.1 -

Nah, you're wrong. I would never create a username for a game that I would be worried about other people seeing. Maybe embarrassed, but not worried. And if I chose to give you my e-banking username, you would still have to figure out what bank I used, what my password was, use it from an approved computer, know the answer to my secret questions, have access to the email it is tied to, and have access to the source that receives the access code.

✭✭. Not only is it half my login info which is a security issue.
That's the most absurd argument against seeing your name...I'm seeing and quoting your name right now, does that put you at any greater security risk? Why would seeing it in game instead of only in the forums put you at any greater security risk?
Be happy you're not on console, we've suffered through the eyesore of seeing gamertags above our characters for a year now and soon we will likely see our @name along with our character name and title...too much crap to tag us. I just want to see character names and titles, is that too much to ask?1 -

Your argument is invalid.
you most likely have no idea about IT security right?
btw. if you make the right example the e-banking site would be known as we all know we're playing eso and the user name is used there.
the comment about "i would never create a username... i would be worried about other people seeing" is nonsense. who cares if your username is "p***ydestroyer05"? the fact that i'm able to get your username, whatever it is, is the problem.
furthermore, you're assuming a single attack vector and make assumptions about the security of a zos system ("trusted system"). that's a very bad way to look at things in security, especially w/o any IT security knowledge at all.
But again, to stick with the example... feel free to post your e-banking username here and the e-banking site you're using. the least i can guarantee you is that the account will be very likely locked and you'll have to reactive it over and over again. but hey, no issue at all, who needs that damn e-banking anyway. (and if your e-banking doesn't lock your account after failed attempts I'd probably switch to another bank)We want firing off Dark Exchange in the middle of combat to feel awesome... - The Wrobler
