There is also one for Roleplaying. If you check the Anonymous box, it hides your class, level, guild name, & location. If you check the Roleplaying box, it leaves your guild name readable, but hides the other things.</p><p>There aren't "easy" ways for you to find such people, without actually asking them. That's precisely why they're set to Anonymous or Roleplaying: they don't want it to be easy to be found.</p><p>The biggest reason people do this, is to avoid the spam of plat sellers. It's a lot easier to send spam out when you know who to send it to, but if your level & class are hidden, it's more difficult to find you through a filter that spits out "Welceome to WeCheat4U.com!" to everybody on the server that's X level or higher.</p><p> Hope this helps.</p>
