The MA idea and business model was purely genius and executed brilliantly especially the economic model, I just hope they don't screw it up...
Thanks for the obvious... I know the EULA is not a contract to scam. If you feel so strongly you were scammed, leave the game. Why would you stay in Entropia if you were scammed by Entropia? That is like falling for the fake pilot scam today... and signing up for another flight with that person again tomorrow.

My point was simply this: I had no delusions of striking it rich or even delusions that participating in EU would be fair. It is not fair and will never be. It is a casino with a fancy GUI. That is just my opinion, I am sure others have their own opinions as well. But the hunting, crafting, and mining portions are just like slot machines. If all the players won, casino's would be out of business quick. As each change has happened in EU, I try to read about it and analyze it a bit. Then I adjust my play. Try to see the changes to the mobs as this: there are now 6 Aces in the deck of cards, but only the dealer can draw them.

You speak of scamming? They can't scam you without YOUR help. You stated that you have not changed your hunting style recently. That is exactly what the dealer expects, dude. Just like professional gamblers watch a dealer at a table for hours to learn things about that dealer, MA watches us. If they detect that we, as a group, have figured out a way to beat the house, the rules will change. I don't blame them at all - it is a business and they are in it to make money. If they lose it all, they pull the plug and guess what... everyone is out all their gear and skills.

I am wide awake... are you certain you are...?
