Uhm, I look at it another way. TS and all you other haters should thankful. I think you've realized you shouldn't be blaming the system you should be blaming the abuser.
The reason you should be thankful is now you know that the town you were (hopefully aren't anymore) is very likely lead be a loser that has little care for people. They likely only care about "their" town and only see members as minions to do as they bid. Ya'll should be thankful because finding out now when you have lost $200 is a lot better than a month from now when you have invested thousands.
This thread did inspire me, to share my W3 desires. I really hate duels so I'm going to start a town where no player will be allowed to carry weapons. It will be called PEACE and our fellow players will know not to attack us. If they do attack you let me know and I will write a nice letter to inform them of our intentions so they stop. Please join me in my quest for World Peace. Our location will be in the right side middle so drop by. You to can be a contributor to Peace in the middle-east!
