Guild Wars 2

On a particular youtube video I saw regarding WvWvW, this video had annotations pop up saying certain things, but on one part of the video showing him doing roaming kills, he came across this Thief and then an annotation popped up saying “Rank 147 Thief”. How do you know if he’s a rank 147 thief when enemy names are not shown? The enemy was in a guild if that makes any difference.

I’m curious as to how he found out because I love this anonymous system. It prevents others from harassing you and you harassing others. Any help is appreciated.

Well, you know enemy ranks generally because they are shown. For example, if a “Blackgate Legend” was on my screen I’d know his WvW rank was between 120 and 150.

It’s relatively easy to whisper enemies in WvW though. You can just party them or add them to your block list and get their account name, then whisper them. He probably chatted with him and learned his exact rank through this method.

So yeah, you’re not totally anonymous to the enemy but you have to go out of your way to communicate with an individual.

Oh… you’re able to get enemies account names when you block them? That sucks… Thank you for the help.
