Alt ### is a name for almost all my characters. That being said I am sure hits are an issue but about 10% of the issue they were in legacy. Look at that we have retailed the topic from Dis exploits -> scents suck to leave to defend -> presentation names are bad.
I will agree that the presentation name does allow a person to hide their identity or go crazy with their name but that wasn't really my point, players make tons of alts and they use them to avoid using their main for whatever reason yet they reap the same benefits as if they had actually risked something. If you're naming a character Alt #50 it's usually because you have already made Alt #49 and all the names before it.
As for naming yourself something recognizable, not everyone chooses to hide behind an alias. Sometimes a person finding out who you are can save your life or benefit you in some other way, sometimes it can kill you. It's a gamble but it's one that I personally don't mind risking.
