What's so bad about going Anon?

[utenan]

Nalkin pretty muched summed it up, its just a pain in the ass for everyone, theres no real point to anon

[Mead]

I go anon to hide from whiners like all of the people crying in this thread.

[Alawen Everywhere]

I can't help noticing that none of the people offended by /role and /anon play a level 50 buff, port or rez class.

what's the big deal? i've gone anon a few times for various reasons and have pretty much instantly been called out for it..

who cares? I'm not doing it cause I think I'm cooler than everyone or something... seriously why do people care.

is it considered snobby?

It's disrespecting your guild. It's also suspicious. Why would you not want to represent your guild? Usually this means you are telling off people, being rude, stealing kills/camps/spawns, or training people. In other words, /anon usually means you are up to no good and even though you are anon doing it, you are still misrepresenting the guild.

A little trick I learned on rallos zek, type /guildstatus to see an anonymous person's guild.

Go /roleplay which makes you anon, but shows your guild tag. That's acceptable.

I /role sometimes because if I'm busy and having conversations with people I don't want to deal with constant port requests.

And all of you saying you won't port/talk to/trade with anon people must be antisocial babies. If they send you a tell you can type /r where you at?

Not that hard.

Anon gets its bad name from MacroQuest and hiding your guild tag.

Nothing more, nothing less.

[Finawin]

I didn't trust anonymous people long before MQ showed up.

[xblade724]

I also noticed a LOT of people are from the pvp servers of Zek.

As former Rallos Zek, I know that for years I'm used to not trusting people or be skeptical of those that are /anon as opposed to /role to hide your guild tag for one reason or another. Not generally to be PK'd, but for many other reasons - just you ask "Why would he want to hide his guild tag - suspicious"

Anon and Role are the worst things to have ever happened to EQ (cept Luclin models).

I would be a happy happy person if /anon and /role were removed from the game.

Speaking as someone who played a druid for 7 years on live and I don't think EVER used /role or /anon I can say this. /cope.

Lets count the keystrokes. "R" "spacebar" "n" "o" "enter" wow.... 5 keystrokes? No wonder you go /role. Yeah, I can totally understand.

/sarcasm off

As for the /r where you at. Yeah and then you get mad if you're in tells with someone and you get constant tells from other people? or if you're trying to solo heal frenzy and people are asking if you're near Sol B?
