Hall of Monuments private?
Wyndy
I am a little uncomfortable with the HoM calculator being available for anyone to view on anyone else. No one can see your hall without you there and you are free to display a title or not. I think the calculator should be protected from roving eyes. It seems like an invasion of privacy to me.

I actually agree.

True, there should be an option to turn it off to others.

Really no point, people can see what you did. Nothing other than accomplishments can be seen, why do you think we have titles?

Don't see why it matters. It is just a game.

Why is this a big deal to anyone? Are you afraid someone is going to torment you if they know you don't have much in your hall? My hall is fairly empty and I don't care who knows.

I like it the way it is.
What's the point in doing titles/getting fancy weapons/armors/minipets?
Show them off.

I think the whole point was so you can see what other people have.
if you can see what your guild member is missing, its easier to help them obtain their 30 points. They might not know how to read the calculator themselves, so you would need to see if you were going to help out.

Unless I start seeing a widespread use of "LF 1 more, must be 45+/50 to join" in PuGing, I see nothing wrong with the calculator being public as it is now.

Meh, like Shayne said, unless people start to actually care about other's achievements, no need to make it private.
And it actually allowed me to see that more than 50% of my friend's list left GW a long time ago (been playing on and off).

Don't be jealous, it's a game.

Uncomfortable that people can see your HoM... lol?
Sorry, usually I have some empathy but I mean, c'mon man.
And yeah that's my IGN. Go check my HoM if you want, lal.

Someone on GW2G said that they got kicked out of a UWSC PUG because he was 24/50, but I haven't seen any other examples.

The level of idiocy in this game never ceases to amaze me.

You probably play GW with the door locked and blinds closed. Cuz you know I'll be trying to get a look at your HoM.

I like to be able to stalk my fellow guildies. LOL, one had bragged about almost filling his HoM with Torments, I looked and only a Destroyer showing. =P
good stuff.

I don't want to agree, but I have to. It would be possible for someone to use it as a tool to mine charector names. That would make it a little easer for someone to hack into our accounts.
C.H.U.C.K.S
I dont like it for the reason that some accounts might be targeted because of the stuff they have. I dont know much about gold-bots or whatever but if the people who run or have them will prioritize ones with full halls (including weapons and armors) over those who dont have those. Should be able to turn off public feature.

read the end user agreement, u do not own anything in the game, u just have the right to play. everything is owned by Anet, so there's no invasion of privacy!

1. This game is made by americans and american law is seriously lacking in protection of privacy.
2. The game and this forum is mostly used by young people who lack a real understanding of fundamental concepts. The odds are stacked against the one arguing a case based on lofty ideals and vague principles. (one of which 'right to privacy' indeed is)

I think the reason that you can't see what minis someone has dedicated it to avoid those accounts with Kanaxais etc. being targeted. So many people have Obsidian/Chaos Gloves now it'd be much easy to get the names in game than from the HoM app.

Any data that can be linked to you as an individual are considered 'personal data'. So whereas you may not own the data themselves you own the right to their use. Now the HoM data can't be used to directly identify any person, but it's not a stretch to assume that many people have given out their identity to other people in the game.
The main justification for data processing regarding personal data is consent, which is to say an informed consent. Many people were not aware that their HoM achievements would be made public when they added the data, this implies a breach of the principle of consent.
I highly doubt Anet are allowed to show all the data people have submitted to anyone they want. They are certainly not allowed to disclose customer identification such as your name, credit card used to purchase, your address and so on.
I can go on about this in more detail if necessary, but I doubt the general public here finds it very interesting. My main point is, as the OP, that Anet has dealth with the issue of privacy on this matter too lightly. But hey, this seems to be a current trend and most people seem not to mind...

Ill sign this suggestion, just not for the reasons....
Im sure im not the first to think this makes the whole "Input your Character name so we can verify you havent stolen the account" rise in security a few months ago superfluous?
This makes it actually much easier for Hackers and Phishers to check which accounts are actually worth something and which they are easily able to ignore.
An account with 1/50 could be a mule account and would have stuff stored on it thats worth to sell.
An account with 50/50 or close to that mark will be from soemone who can probably afford a lot and has invested time and would probably have stuff worth selling
An account with anything inbetween is proably not worth much because the above reasoning doesnt appply.
