Anon - What's the point?

eqravenprince · #1 12-15-2011, 12:20 PM

I considered putting this in Rants and Flames because people who put Anon on annoy me. But I'm also curious if there is truly a legitimate reason to do this. Are you hiding your class? Are you hiding the zone you are in? I find it so incredibly annoying to do a /who all zonename only to show up and and there are several anon high level players killing everything in sight. I don't care that they are there killing non exp giving mobs. I just care that I took the time to travel to the zone because I thought it was empty and find out that it's being camped by a few high levels.

Welcome to classic eq - you don't always know whether a zone is camped or not. That's part of the game.

Various classes get tells for stuff all the time, and often its easier to pre-empt them and go anon so you dont get tells.

Some people do it just because. And they have every right to.

Anonymous players are usually hiding their class or their guild (when people are mobilizing to an encounter.

I think having anon turned off is a courtesy to other players. If they don't give me the courtesy of knowing they were in the zone, then maybe I shouldn't give them the courtesy of me caring what they are camping.

wait, so let me get this straight.

If someone goes anon, be it an enchanter to prevent "C PLEASE" or a druid to prevent "SOW + PORT ME TO TOXX PLS", you believe you have the right to take their camp?

Technically leaving a camp to a person/group is a courtesy not a right. Why is that an unofficial rule, but leaving anon off is not. I find it more annoying.

Lol, goodluck with your server rep.

Camps are an official rule. I challenge you to steal someones camp who was anon and holding it.

See how that works out for you.

What about the people that go Anon & LFG at the same time? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
