perks mean alot to some, not as much to others, and for a face in the crowd, a name is just a name.
i don't assume to know what everyone thinks, but i know shady people in all walks of life, and i would not put it past anyone is all.
for me when i changed names it was about identity, i was no longer "JB73" so it was no matter to me about the names, perks, and ranks or whatever... add the fact i had a shades already, there;s people out there who run 2-3 shades at a time, all paying of course, just another avatar to play under.
