Guild Wars 2

My suggestion is for a /hide command option or a way to become anonymous so that my character name is not searchable and therefore won’t have to empty a mailbox full of spam at least twice a day.

An alternative to this would be sending a GM to the starter areas (where you cannot even read the map chat because it is completely overtaken) and banning these people from doing this. I am not sure if you are aware of this, but massive spam text in your game not only is harmful to people trying to use it, but it makes it look cheap and gives the feeling that you don’t care about spam or your player’s environment. However, a simple /hide would give me the power to stop the problem for my characters individually and not have to wait or hope on GM participation.

I am not sure how they are getting the list of names that they use, but if a /hide (anonymous) feature could get my name off of that list then I, and many others, would appreciate this.

Hopefully, this forum section isn’t just the ‘catch-all’ for complaints. I hope it is actually read by devs. There are wonderful suggestions here. If the devs are actually players then they surely would agree.

EDIT: I thought that the invisible mode feature via friends list might work, but it does not.
