hiding the name also means that weaker players cant learn who to attack to beat, so they will have less of a chance to get wins and will probably attack so many strong players that they get themselves kicked out early.

plus the strong players have ways around names anyway, like we could transform into rare ninjas so we know to avoid each other, so i become an edo hashirama and every1 who sees me knows to run, another guy becomes susano itachi and we avoid him too, ect. we used to use a combination of outfit+title to tell each other who to avoid
