Why is my email address everywhere in-game?

I noticed on guild rosters that you have your email address listed next to you name a few weeks ago. This kind of made sense to me in a “friends list” kind of context, I guess. But now I go to join a free tourney in sPVP and it identifies me by email address alone, which it never did before. I can understand my character name or account name, but my email address?

I know no one else can see it but me, but is this supposed to be a deterrent against bad behavior because you will think other people see your email address? I don’t understand this and I haven’t seen an a-net post about it.

Hello everyone.

We are aware of this issue, Transistor, and I would invite you to check this thread in which our colleague Gaile Gray has been answering some questions already.

Therefore I proceed to close this thread.
Thanks for your patience and understanding.
