Well, tough! They (Verant) made the game, and now they are trying to punish US
for playing it the way it is! They designed it and they have the bugs in. So let
them fix the bugs and not tell us "no you can't do this". That's stupid. They
created the game and I'm playing it the way it is.

furthermore, nowhere on their site do they have a list of exploits that should be
avoided. They do not give us a list when we log in to the game. Yet, we're
supposed to just know them? How stupid is that?

THEY made the design error / bug, and now they expect us not to "exploit" it
without even letting us know what's an exploit and what's not! They are punishing
us for their laziness / un attentiveness!
