It is FAR too easy to stalk someone in this game.

-People can add you to friends without your knowledge or permission and see everything about you.

- Even if you BLOCK someone, they can still see if you’re online, (via their friendslist) what toon you’re on and where you are in the world.

- There is no option to sign in invisible. So if an unstable person has friended you, and sees you log in and then quickly switch to offline. They start sending you in-game mail calling you out.

- If you appear offline, people can still watch you and see if you move locations.

All this stuff needs to be corrected!

I propose:

1. There should be a way to LOG IN invisible. And when you’re invisible, your location should NOT update!!!!!

2. No one should see your account name until you add them to friends. They party userface kind creeps me out.

3. When someone wants to add you to friends, IT SHOULD ASK YOUR PERMISSION before they are allowed to see your account name and every toon you log on.

4. When you block someone…they should see you as offline. Always. They should have NO information about you ever again until you unblock them. Not even what server you’re on.

Anet, I’m begging you to please do something about these major privacy issues.

Thanks for reading guys, let me know if i missed anything.
