I agree with this and I'm not even a high ranker, but I do get on Allegiance sometimes just to shoot the @#(! and just play a damn game whilst intoxicated and its real easy for me to blend in.
I guess that's simply an explicit problem with smaller gaming communities, but hypothetically, if I'm @#(!-faced, do I want to log into a game where I get pestered with Squad Leader details?
I'd prefer a 'hide ranks' option than lose hiders, even if it is just used for Friday nights when @#(! ain't goin your way. I know ZLs have enough to worry about with their own zone, but if stacking became a problem, the data is all there, just not for everyone to see. And I'm aware of the plethora of problems with this, but at the same time contributors to the community are getting robbed of playability.
I can't even remember if this is the right thread or not... as to boot to NOAT... I say $#@! THAT, at least when you get booted to the lobby you have to close down and relog in, some time to think. It may harm some newer players, yes. But do you really want to hear someone you just booted screaming on NOAT, which sometimes can be fun to listen in on as you pod ride home. Their would have to be a 'Boot and Mute' button for commanders.
