As a dedicated gamer, I’m excited to dive back into the game world after installing this latest patch.

As a devoted gamer, let me explain how things have evolved in our virtual world recently. Instead of individual player identities being transmitted, the latest system now broadcasts account IDs to other users. TheseIDs, effortlessly extracted by common software, have unfortunately provided an opening for troublemakers and stalkers. With these IDs, they can compile a comprehensive list of their targets’ alternate characters, facilitating easier harassment. Although tools like PlayerScope have been collecting and displaying this information, they merely represent the exposed tip of an iceberg that’s been gradually growing since the expansion was launched.
