    AJKhoosier, delaney_kid, and many others who seem to have removed players id info from P5.

    Anyone know what was reason?

    Im just guessing, but for some, At a certain point in their life they were consumed with rankings and getting to #1, top 10 top 100 etc. that it consumed their lives. Now they have reached it, those certain things don't matter to them anymore and rankings wont mean much

    This is just my opinion tho

    Think once they hit the top or no longer have the time to climb the rankings ladder they remove their ids so they no longer feel the pressure to keep playing thr volume or maintain thier position

    I think players should have the option to not be ranked anymore but their profile could still host their pseudos and winnings so we could still see their history, badges etc...

    I think a number of those people because of that lawsuit probably don't want to make it trivially easy for people to get their playing names, even if within the community they tend to be known. My 2c guess

    would also imagine if some of these players are sponsored on certain sites then perhaps they shouldn't be playing on other sites, depending on their contract? and if no names appear then would be harder to trace results?

    Meh, I feel like if you reach a top 10 ranking you probly have more than enough mental aptitude to not let dropping down in ranking really bother you. I feel like there has to be a more serious reason (IL Lawsuit is a good example, maybe tax evasion? etc.) Obviously don't know for sure, just guessing
