Im sick and tired of ppl following me...
by using the map button, i dont want to delete their cards, but they keep following me.. when i log on, and they know where im at.. LOL

I feel like im been watched! ROFL
and some of my friends are having the same problem. Ppl use invisible objects and put them on.. and they come near me.. and i can tell that they are there.. lol

They need to have a similar button like in TSO. "Privacy on" "Privacy Off"

Just and Idea.. and this will help alot of ppl. :D

An interesting idea. Have you tried the new 'friends' feature in 1.6? Maybe you'll feel more comfortable deleting cards once you have your friends list established. In any case, I'm going to repost this feature request in the Feature Suggestions forum for discussion.

I would just like to second this notion of a privacy function. :)

Don't get me wrong, nine times out of ten, I really honestly don't care if a friend can track me down on the map. However, do I necessarily want someone I've just met having the ability to track me down simply because I felt that it would be too mean to NOT exchange cards? Nope. I don't.

I think, honestly, that it would make more sense to either have a full-on privacy toggle, OR to have "map tracking" be something like mod rights. If you WANT a person to be able to track you down no matter what, grant them that right! ;)

Thanks, wuvme for bringing this up. Even if it never changes, at least I don't feel like I'm the only one who thinks that should be an option! After all, it's really frustrating to have someone you only really recently met just fall out of the sky on you and start chatting up a storm when all you REALLY want to do is just finish texturing your build/some clothing/insert second-life-or-death activity here.! LOL

Note: I am not really as anti-social as that probably just made me seem! ;)
