This is probably one of my bigger annoyances in the game. What is the point of being /anon all the time? What's the big secret? I guess I can kinda see it if you're a higher lev cleric and don't want to be pestered for rezzes all the time or I guess a druid/wiz for port beggars (although it's really not all that hard to just /r sorry, busy atm) but for the rest f you, why /anon? Serious question.

It's a raiding thing. Raiding guilds don't want other guilds to see that they're massing in a certain zone, because those other guilds might go "hey *insert popular raid target mob here* must be up, let's go see if we can steal it from the first guild". As a result, so they all go on /anon (or usually /roleplay, which is the same thing except you still show your guild tag).

Of course, many raiders leave /anon or /roleplay up even after they're done raiding (and yeah it annoys me too).
