Hello, some suggested features to improve privacy ...
  1. Option which disables possibility to PM you from other PWE games. Other games can be even less secure and vulnerable for bots.
  3. Option which disables Friend Invites.
  5. Automatically add player to ignore list based on content of message. Word list should be managed by player. Regexp would be nice.
  7. If 20 players (example number) reports spammer with "Report Spam", this account goes into "Suspicions Account" state and can't send more than 1 message per 10 minutes in LFG/Zone/Trade. Give option to filter out messages from suspicios accounts completely.
  9. Option which disables any messages from not my level bracket.

    Some good suggestions here. +1

    I mean if you can't get rid of the bots, at least let us shut them the hell up. LOL

    I know that I can set my visibility to "friends" only.
    Sad thing is, then no one can invite me to a party any more except friends ... "does not accept party invites".

    Yes, I want friend invites from players who see/know my name@handle that are NOT in my friends list
    Yes, I want party invites from players who see/know my name@handle that are NOT in my friends list
    NO, I do not want to be searchable in the "search/friends" list (and everywhere else where you can search)

    but that's impossible!

    i'm not sure what you mean by optioin 2...if you open your social window, you can make yourself invisible to everyone.

    and as for all the zone c*&p that comes up, you can change the preferences so you don't get any of those on your channel.

    That's the whole issue right there.
    That search option is how they find you. it shows everybody online regardless of what map you're on, unless you're set to friends only. As a side note, that setting shouldn't even affect a party invite in my opinion. That's something else entirely.
    But is affects party invites, and that is the reason why I have to turn it on and off again. And that's why I get drawn to gold sellers who draw my hard earned money out of me pockets! I mean, they are in me friends list! They must be trustworthy!

    <snip> and as we all know by now it is being abused.
    Not know, only assume.

    But even if this is taken out, the sellers would just need to position a dummy in every zone entrance to get your name@handle, just to try to send you a party invite or a personal /tell.
    It just would make it a bit harder to get to you.

    As it is at the moment there are no sellers spamming in /legit, the only spam is some Alu created stuff. But that may just as well be a bot created to drive the legit community back to /lfg & /zone.

    4. give an option to directly report players trough interaction window. God knows how many bots in PvP I let go because I can't even find the **** report button, and when I do I have to check his handle 3 times to make sure it's the right one

    I think players should be allowed to hide their Games and Total Playing Time in Arc application. This information can be very sensitive for many people.

    I support the friend list suggestion. I like my friend list small, getting 10 requests a day and having to reject them all isn't ideal.

    Also, people with alts tend to spam the logs with chat, even when anonymous, you can see the account loggin in, and then instantly off. I have to cherry pick friends because I know some may have over 20 alts, and I really don't want to see the spam on my logs every 3 mintues.

    Nice mate!

    I personally would like to see the following 3 options added:

    1. If you have somebody on ignore list, then matchmaking shouldn't force you together with him or her, neither in PVE nor in PVP. PVP is actually the biggest problem cause of the many elitists and exploiters.

    2. I wish i could put entire guilds on ignore list, not just individuals. Sadly there are examples in my personal game life here, that when i have put somebody on ignore, then some of his other guildies took over the harassing.

    3. If somebody is on your ignore list, than there shouldn't be a "back door" to see you and your activities.

    ^^^^^ absolutely. The option to never group with people should be added. people have different ideas about playstyle and what makes a group/ player/ class 'good'. Why not let them aggree to disagree instead of having them pushed together?
