So you, the justice-seeking staff step in and become the true scammer. What a crafty way to create more ****ty money-sinks. But sometimes it gets deleted? What is your criteria for deciding whether or not something is deleted or auctioned off?

So you admit it's a ridiculous sentence for the crime, and rather than have a just penalty you'll just stick them with 10 years and let them out whenever you feel so inclined. Great system.

I know this **** "happens all the time". It shouldn't.

No ****? I'm pretty sure we're all AWARE that it's illegal, but that's not the issue at hand. Why is it illegal? Exolia was just a shining example of a PR too, wasn't he? Globally banned now for item-spawners and various other infractions. What a great example to follow.


Honestly though, where's some administration to back this up? You're the only one defending this ****ty idea, I'd love to see some high-level staff try to explain (hopefully more coherently) how this is better.
