I don't think spies are the whole issue here.
Sometimes people are watching on their phones because they can't play at the time. Sometimes they talk and sometimes not. I tend to say something like *lurks* to let people know, but I could conceive situations where I wouldn't want to say that.
Some dread coming online because they're being pressed to do something they're not ready for within their own guilds (don't ask :p).
There are all sorts of reasons for these things. Privacy has both pros and cons.
If I turn this around, why would we make the online presence for megacorp available and what would we lose by doing it?
There are codes in game where you can toggle who can and can't see you, such as "guild only" or "friends only". Would you not ask the same for Megacorp?
