Roleplay and anon always hid what zone you were in. It was a key element of being in a raiding guild. If we wanted to know where a competing guild was, we didn't /who all temple, /who all kael, etc. We had to send scouts to various zones.
Allowing people to see roleplay people by /who all-ing a zone would cripple raiding guild competition. If the top guild can see where other guilds are at all times, experience and faster mobilization allows them to use other guilds' scouts/trackers to find raid targets and steamroll them. The ability to truly hide your location is a key strategy for lower tier raid guilds.
