"secrecy" of alts - why?

Now seriously - what is the reason this is the most important rule in Genesis? Since always?
Don't give me the bullshit about RP - there is so much metagaming in Genesis (and always has been) that people who only attempted to NOT use it, were glorified as great RP'ers. Recently Castaneda wrote that if he didn't accept it, he'd have stopped playing already (https://www.genesismud.org/forums/viewt ... 954#p22954).
If this is how the game is, why put so much effort and energy into something the game is NOT - RP!
For years I have seen "RP" to be an excuse - excuse for more power as a guild, for abusing positions, for helping friends and griefing non-friends, etc. etc. NOTHING else. The last RP to me died when Garnet stopped playing. Everything else is just a poor attempt of mistaking "covering up your idiocy" for "RP".
Everybody seems to have alts and everybody is aware of it. Everybody IS abusing them this way or another. Having received so much griefing for changing guilds, I dare say - creating alts is the way to play this game. Sticking to one is NOT!
I don't buy this shit, mostly due to quest crap ... but then again, why have it secret too? Everyone who created/s alts just creates macros and triggers to quest them up. Best case was Monika and I still think he OWNED with his macro that quested him up to GA over night after being deleted ... again. It's just crap for those who did them once ... ages ago.
So - I say let go of this idiocy. Let go of this idiotic rules that say you can't do what you are doing anyway. Is this some muslim game, where everybody pretends to go with rules, while breaking them at every possible occasion, as long they have any excuse? This is exactly what I experienced in Egypt when I was living and working there. Everybody pretended everything.
Hell even char trading is allowed in Genesis, so WHY BOTHER?!?!
