🔒 Suggestion: Implement a Private Profile Feature

(Due to harassment, unfair advantages, toxic behavior, and privacy concerns.)

📌 Why is a Private Profile Setting Important?

Currently, in the game, all players can freely view other players' profiles, which may include:

• Statistics (wins, losses, playtime, etc.)
• Alliance memberships
• Past game results
• Personal notes, statuses, descriptions

While some players see this as harmless information, many abuse it for harassment, manipulation, and unfair tactics, which has become a serious issue within the community.

📢 Introducing a private profile option would help resolve these issues, reduce toxic behavior, and create a healthier gaming experience.

🛑 1. Increasing Harassment and Toxic Behavior

🔹 Some players use profiles to target and harass others

• Many players abuse profile information to personally attack others.
• Players analyze statistics and use them to ridicule, shame, or threaten other players.

📌 Examples of harassing messages:

• "I saw your profile, you always lose, why don’t you just quit the game?"
• "Your stats prove that you're just a noob surviving on luck."
• "I know what alliance you're in, so we will always target you!"

📢 This behavior degrades the gaming experience, drives away beginners and fair players, and fuels a toxic environment.

🔹 Toxic behavior is also spreading in in-game messages

• Harassment is not only visible in game chats and forums but also in private messages.
• Many players intentionally provoke others based on their profiles, putting psychological pressure on them.

📢 Allowing players to hide their profiles would eliminate one of the main sources of harassment.

⚠️ 2. Unfair Advantages and Manipulative Gameplay

🔹 Some players use profiles to gain an unfair advantage

• Instead of playing based on strategy and skill, many study other players’ profiles to only target weaker opponents.
• This destroys fair play, as larger alliances and experienced players pre-select weaker opponents and eliminate them first.

📌 Examples of unfair tactics:

• A strong player checks the profiles of all players on a server and only attacks the weakest ones.
• A large alliance gathers data on smaller alliances and uses it to plan coordinated attacks.
• An experienced player analyzes a beginner’s profile and exploits their lack of experience.

📢 If players could choose whether their profiles are visible, it would reduce these unfair advantages and create a more balanced game.

🧠 3. Increasingly Unhealthy and Obsessive Behavior

🔹 Some players obsessively monitor others' profiles

• Some players check other profiles multiple times a day, compulsively tracking their actions.
• Others fetishize or obsess over profiles, which may indicate problematic psychological behaviors.

📌 Examples of this issue:

• A player constantly watches another player’s stats and follows every move they make.
• Some judge others based on their profiles, deciding who to ally with or target rather than focusing on gameplay.

📢 A private profile setting would help prevent this unhealthy behavior and encourage players to focus on the actual game.

🔐 4. Privacy Protection and Personal Data Security

• Currently, players have no control over who can see their data.
• Most modern online games already allow private profiles, making this a necessary step toward a safer gaming experience.

🛠 How Could the Private Profile Feature Work?

🔹 Possible settings:

✅ Public Profile: Everyone can see the data.

✅ Only Friends or Allies Can See: Only approved players can view the profile.

✅ Fully Private Profile: No one can see the statistics or other details.

📢 These options would give players control over how much information they share.

🎯 Why Would This Benefit Everyone?

✅ Less harassment and toxic behavior

✅ Fairer and more balanced gameplay

✅ Reduction in unhealthy behavioral patterns

✅ Protection of player privacy and personal data

🔹 We urge the developers to consider implementing this feature to improve the gaming experience! 🚀
