User blog comment:Kudarat/Stranger or not../@comment-25669516-20151215114752

I have tried it both ways but from what I have seen Stranger provides immunity to hackers but it also makes other players more aggressive towards non-hacking Strangers. With names you atleast know who's a hacker and who's not but when everyone is Stranger then most people prefer to shoot first and think later...

There are ofcourse some players who simply quit when Strangers join the match or don't pick on them fearing they are hackers so you are right that it sometimes helps noobs too. Everything works both ways I guess :P
