I think this is still an interesting experiment, better then most tried. But frankly, it's not legitimate reporting.
If all you can do on your current deposit is drop a certain amount of bombs per day, and then your done. Then that is what is to be reported.
It's not the reporter's job to change the rules and window dress something be suddenly something isn't perfect. Those imperfections need to be recorded. If a deposit of a certain amount only brings limited fun, then it shouldn't be pretended otherwise.
I will not accuse Pinky of conspiring to cover up anything. I honestly don't think that's the intention. But if the rules are changing for the sake of "more interesting" evidence, then the article falls prey to the guise of "nothing is wrong in
EU, period. Dissenters will be shot." I exagerate on the last part of course, but you get my point.
If the life of a newbie is boring as hell, with or without a deposit. Report it, because it's a problem, and it needs to be fixed.
