Account ID

So...the release was about 6 weeks ago & I have a question.
Are there any plans to change the account ID's in guilds, so the character name is shown & not the ID?
To be honest, I'm feeling very uncomfortable to join any other guild, except the one I made up with some friends. I don't want that everyone can see my ID. Also I think it would be much easier to point out all the bots & goldsellers in guilds, especially if they have more or less normal ID's but tones of chars with stupid names.
I really would prefer that my charname is set & if I remember right in one of the old AMA chats the developer said that the charname would be shown ingame & the ID only in the friendlist. So i was a bit surprised as i saw my ID in the guild.

    It's not just a concern to security as it's easy for people to harvest usernames (now all they have to do is bruteforce the password, as 50% of the login information is already given to them), but it's a frustration to regular players as well. Currently (okay, there is an add-on for it) you can't tell what character name a player is on. The only reference you see in the guild roster is the account-name, the only thing you see in-game on players is their character name. Without having the add-on that will reveal player names in the guild-roster there is no way to match these 2 up in order to find someone, who may be standing right next to you somewhere.

    This is a design flaw in my opinion and seriously impacts the whole social aspect of playing an MMO.
