/anon versus /role.... FIGHT!
*read while listening*
https://soundcloud.com/hiep612/morta...-song-original I have noticed persons of a certain guild tend to go /anon instead of /role. I comment in /OOC to see what the deal is. First, they said because "I don't roleplay" in /ooc... https://i.imgflip.com/4aease.jpg Then they said they did it "because I can." You can run over the fountain on your next PoHate raid too, brelf (that's bro-elf.) But hey, let's keep it real, elves. No one actually roleplays. I played Firiona Vie for years and you'd be hard-pressed to find a true roleplayer if you looked all day. We just loved twinking out our low-levels with no-drop planar stuff, and it was the only server you could do it on. The only difference between /anon and /role is that anon hides your guild tag. Hide your race/class/level? Sure. You're a wiz/dru/cler/mannastone - people need/want you, and you're busy. But why hide your guild tag....? I can "/guildstatus name" you anyway and see "Soandso is a member of NeverTaggedUnlessRaidingGuild" Possible options

A lot of my friends do it so their guild mates don’t ask them if they need a teleport for the raid.
I personally don’t like the color purple because it reminds me of white supremacy. | ||

I don't use either except on port-capable classes.
I despise /anon because I hate running 10 or 15 min to get to an "empty" zone only to find half a dozen /anons there camping the useful stuff. I refuse to become part of the problem. I've had guilds threaten to kick me out of their raids because I refuse to hide. Hah--as if anyone actually cares enough about what someone's up to on a video game to justify treating it like a state secret. The best was one guild that went /anon, not to hide from other guilds, but to hide from their own guildmates whom they weren't inviting along for the lucrative stuff. Pixel Sickness, indeed. I don't much care for /role because I don't like having a purple nametag. I make an exception for Druids or Wizards because P99's full of too many entitled twits who act like it's their god-given right to demand I drop what I'm doing to port their useless rear at a moment's notice. Some of 'em get quite belligerent when I decline. Nope, I made my portmule for my own uses, not to play "virtual taxi driver." Hence I don't fault port classes who want to be left in peace, in their specific case /anon or /role serves as the lesser evil. /Anon, specifically, is important for dial-a-port members when "off duty" because /role will still return from a "/who all dial" query.

Hell, I took anon off on my Shaman a couple of nights ago and immediately had people asking me to stop and dump about 10 minutes worth of mana into buffing them. Which honestly, a lot of times if I’m just farming plat, I’ll gladly do it, especially for a genuinely new player. But the random tells do get annoying. I find myself genuinely envious of necros because we’re both farming the same stuff, but no one asks them for anything. | |||

Does /who all count <zone> work? Could at least compare the # to what you see on a regular /who all <zone> to get a better idea.

DaP is the exception. And it's a special exception they created.
Everyone else... if you go /anon, what's your reason? No good ones given so far.
