What's so bad about going Anon?

That wouldn't be very classic. Leave as is.

Neither are world-wide oocs but we have those. Finawin is right, you can't use the argument "it's classic" for some things and then disregard that argument when its unhelpful to your opinion.

I also agree that /anon people are stupid/annoying. The only people who I understand going anon are druids or clerics. But even then I would rather have a cleric say "no" to me or even never respond then to have it the way it is now with like 70% of the world anon.

Just the other day I was in LGUK and someone sent me a tell and said are you really the only one in LGUK? and I replied "no there are 23 other people here." I really do not understand /anon for non clerics or druids. Is it because people want to hide where they are camping? But if so, suppose someone does a /who all and thinks someone isn't camping that spot then they will go there and find that you are there anyway. So I only see anon it as a major inconvenience without any benefit.

It wouldn't bother me as much if you could see who was all in a zone even if they are anon. But would that defeat the purpose of /anon? I don't know because I don't even know what the benefit is. Maybe someone can clear it up for me.
