Or mayhap you have a server with a few players who decided to fight fire with fire.
I'm still a fan of that approach, or Thordsvin's idea of holding concerts to raise awareness of the issue for those who don't visit the forums. An officer with at least one very prominent socially active kinship has posted in this thread, so that's not impossible by any means.
I've been able to disregard the store up until now; I've used it for storage panels and cosmetics which as far as I know no one has problems with. But I can't ignore it any longer...this is the wrong path for this game.
Actually, it's not that odd - small server, very active AH, has been as long as I've been on it, but I've only been playing on this server for a year.
Take heart, I'm an officer in two kins - the RP folks sadly don't care (the 'it doesn't affect me' malaise). That's frustrating. But the other kin is the third largest on the server, kin leader is f2p because he's from a country that Turbine won't take his money, and I'm premium. We've already organised a largely successful boycott of the IF and buying skimishes, and yeah - I'm willing to take this one on, too, for whatever little good it may do.
