That statement is completely right.
You can find anyone's account name if you block them. That was always available, you can block anyone and you never had any control over who blocks you.
That's why my issue is not with MY @name showing, but with seeing other people's @name. It's ugly, cluttered and it serves me no purpose. Let me see just character names and titles, please.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.

Or they could adress you with: hey [insert appropiate] charactername?[/insert appropiate] (*Duh*)

Most of these things are part of the world, not part of the UI, and are therefore stored server-side (offline/busy/away are server markers anyway).

Edit: Hold on, how are you seeing pet and mount names?

Why "privacy is violated"? This is exaggerating. I'm in 5 guilds now and I do not know their over 2000 members who can see my account name. So what? Should I be feared of these unknown players because some of them may want to do something against me? Seems like conspiracy theory.Elsterchen wrote: »

Fine for you, and you may post your @name in facebook, twitter and tell everyone you know or meet about it. If you wish you may tatoo this information on your forehead so everyone who sees you knows. While you are at it, tatoo your clearname right next to it, so you never need to introduce yourself again!
Its not about not having the option to show your @name, its only about the fact that some ppl like to know who they share this information with. This choice is not available and having no choice violates my personal right to decide who I share my private information with, hence it violates my privacy.

No, this statement is plain wrong. Ppl only had the possibility to see my account name if I allowed that person in my group or guild.
I personally didn't like that too, but i still had the choice to not join groups or guilds with ppl i don't know. This choice is no longer available.
I know alot of you think its fine to let everyone know who you are, where you live, what you eat, who you date etc etc etc. That is ok for me, if you wish to share this information so be it.
Why do you feel offended or find it so hard to understand that i like to keep my privacy and share my information with ppl I choose only ? After all its a personal choice, isn't it?
Why is it so hard to understand that I like to keep my characters seperated ? After all its a personal choice, isn't it?
This doesn't mean you should not be allowed to share this information, it just means it should be a personal choice.
The current design, is no personal choice anymore.
@Elsterchen I had originally posted an Add-On function you could write in your in-game chat with the /script command, and it would display anyone's account name if you moused over their character. It is possible to see anyone's account name at any time, and it always has been. A moderator edited the code out, because apparently it is considered a loop-hole macro and it's not supposed to work that way, but it currently does.- Are you interested in Crown Crate item drop rates?

That's not the only way for them to block you. Someone can walk to you, press F to use the interaction wheel and block you. They can see your character's name when you pass by, go to their "ignore list", press E to add a person to the list and type your character's name on the box. They can even just send you a whisper using your character's name after you passed by them, and then right click on that name and click "ignore", even if you didn't reply.
I'm sorry, but you have been playing under the impression that you had any control over who sees your @name. You never had any.
Do I like that? Not at all. But it has always been like that in this game. Our @name was never private.Edited by Abeille on 28 April 2016 22:05Just 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.

Why are you making it personal? Fact is, this information is not handed to every player in sight on a silver plate.
Why is it necessary to change that?
Despite loss of immersion, security concerns, its making characternames fairly useless and it also makes some players feel uncomfortable. Why is THAT ok? All of this can easily be avaoidable by opting a choice to it. BUT THIS CHOICE isn't even an option at the moment.

You had asked which things a player has control over displaying to other players. Take an easy one, costumes. I could be wearing light armor, with a medium armor costume in pvp. How is that not hiding information for an advantage? What difference does it make if it's UI or part of the world?

Lucius_Aelius✭✭✭✭It's k. just add hide optionI'm on Xbox and my Gamertag is automatically displayed to everyone in every game I play so this is a strange discussion from my perspective, it's hard for me to imagine playing a game where my name didn't identify me. I even use my Gamertag as my forum name on multiple gaming forums, so again, I don't get why people are so concerned with their privacy, just have a solid password and you're good to go.
That said I don't really think it matters that much either way, and if people really don't want to have their names displayed then I don't see why it's an issue. Let there be an option to just show it or not, and everybody wins. If that's too much trouble for ZOS though then there's countless other things that are infinitely more important for ZOS to be working on, and this should only be made optional if it's relatively quick and easy for ZOS to do.
It's not like people are seeing your actual name, just your gaming name, and if that's really something you're so afraid for people to see then I question why you'd even bother gaming in the first place. It's really a non-issue as far as I'm concerned, and it helps people identify who is who when they play together instead of guessing what name goes with what character name, so that's a welcome change for all those people on PC who had trouble with that and I see no reason not to implement this change just because a few people aren't happy about their gaming name being visible.
I also picked my Gamertag years ago without this game in mind at all, so it was a happy coincidence that my name is so lore-friendly and perfect for this game (forced me to buy the Imperial Edition to make it work but whatever), and it'd be nice to see more lore-based names on other people by seeing their character names, which you can't do at the moment (on Console) without looking through various menus.Edited by Lucius_Aelius on 29 April 2016 15:10Daggerfall Covenant - Scourge (Xbox NA) - GT: Lucius Aelius - Lord - 648CP

✭No.Alot of people are going to require or ask for an @name change if this goes live. People have a tendency to use their real life surnames as their @name and not everyone wants that open to the public, especially in a PvP environment where there are crazy people that toss around personal threats (I don't, but its not uncommon)Guild of Shadows ~Elite~Învictus ~Council~

KingDuncanVII✭✭✭YesIt's half of our login information, freely available for anyone to see.
A better option would be to have a login username that was never displayed anywhere, and a player name that could be displayed or not by user choice, without potentially compromising their account security if they did decide to display it.
I don't get it. How is knowing a person knows your username jeopardizing the security of your account? I'm not trying to be an ass, I really want to know. On this forum, I can see everyone's username but, that doesn't mean I can get into their account.
Is account hijacking common on PC or something?Edited by KingDuncanVII on 29 April 2016 15:33Playstation 4 - North American Server - Aldmeri Dominion - Champion Rank 430
