idea: anonymous grinder option

Hi, first of all, I have to say that arena grinding is one of my favorite aspects of this game. It's a stress-reliever and it's cathartic, as well as a way to kill time. But the problem is, once you put up an insane amount of points in Arena Combat or Perfect Series, your alliance-mates start wondering how you can put up that amount of points. And you're judged a "loser"or "one that has no life" etc... and that's unfortunate because the reason some people play games in the first place is to escape the real world. It's like one is attempting to escape the real world only to be met with the same judgement and discrimination one suffers already in the real world.
So my suggestion is this: grant players an option to have their points in arena combat or perfect series only be visible up to a certain amount, then the rest of the points enters an "anonymous" pool. So for instance, Bob usually churns out 90k points...he could place a limit to his visible points at maybe 15K, then the rest will be anonymous and not tied to his identity at all. This way people who grind can enjoy the game at its fullest and not be judged.

If you are in an alliance where they mock you for working hard....you should be in a new alliance. Not to be rude, but I do not see them programming and implementing the system you described above. Especially since in my years on these forums, I have never seen anyone post about being mocked for grinding arena.
As for judgment, I’ll echo the others. You get mocked, consider an new alliance. I’m an alliance leader, I’ve got players who run basic arenas (I’m one of them), others who despise the arena format. I’ve never seen our more intense players ridiculed in any way. They might see us as intense, considering that it’s a time investment they find too important, but they’re happy for us when we succeed and they cheer us on. And it’s kinda nice to know who your fellow arena grinders are. =P
