Unfortunately now that swg discussion is closed, this issue has to be presented to communities individually.

This was a petition for a feature so that you would not appear on someone's friends list if you did not wish. I realize that this is not a specifically a tailor issue, but we especiallyhave tell hell issues many times, which will only get worse with the impending vendor nerf. I know that we've talked about this issue many times, and that most of us are for it, but I was wondering whether we wanted to kick it up a notch and actively lobby for it: though not in place of any of our top 5, but perhaps in a prominent spot on our wish list.


I would like to revive this issue if at all possible because I think it would be beneficial to many players and would be relatively easy to implement (since it is a feature of many mmorpgs).

This was a great idea, we really need some way to be able to make ourselves truly anonymous. I participate in guild and town activities all of the time, and it's frustrating when a customer wants to talk to me during another activity or just when I need a tiny amount of quiet time. It's not good for me because I get frazzled and it makes the game seem more like work than play at times like that. And it's not good for the customer because I can't give them my full attention when I'm trying to pay attention to too many things at once.

This feature would really help many of us out, and it's a great example of why I miss SWG discussion. There's nowhere to put a request like this anymore that affects people of all professions and all servers.

Indeed, there are times when I even though my title is off and my character is non-searchable, I still get messages from people because I'm simply on their Friend List. This is annoying. And this is only from the standpoint of people I would like to deal with occasionally: customers. This doesn't include griefers. Once you're on a Friend List, that person has got you locked in their sights everytime you pop online. I can only imagine what that's gotta be like for Jedi.

FYI - reposted on new "core systems" board (which isunder "professions") - apparently the new place to put UI issues.

I realize that this issue has been talked to death, but if you feel it's important to you, please don't let the issue drop into obscurity because previously it gained no developer attention.
