In WvWvW you can whisper the other world server the easy way of right clicking their name, blocking them, and that reveals their account name and character name and that could get into something serious if hackers (not saying there is) abuse this system.
The way to fix it as I see it, is simply by disabling the option to block that person (why even have it when you cannot see them talking) and just have the option to just report them. Of course how do we know if that person is hacking is simply by checking the logs and see if its true or not and instead of the name of the person popping up just have it named with the server and their wvwvw tittle (like they normally appear).
I would like to also point out that there is no point for someone to know your account name when you add them to your friend’s because it can get the person in trouble of hackers for doing so. I propose to ask the person for permission if they want to let that person know their account name OR when they add their email address it allows them to see their account name (symbol that you have trust in that person or you know them) and if they just add that person to ONLY track that character.
