Let me rephrase that, Arrow doesn't necessarily reveal who's pulling the strings immediately, but they won't have a guy walking around with a mask making the audience guess who it is. The only times they did that was with Malcolm (which was like 3 episodes as the Dark Archer) and Prometheus. We already knew Slade the second he was shown, while we had been told a lot about Ra's and were practically waiting for him to appear.
