But i never made that generalization!
I do not know the Anshe team. You have to wonder what kind of tactics they have used that have gotten them disliked enough to have a wiki-bashing party. Some of the accusations
should be easy to verify (eg the exploit of their own flavor of the auction bug), but to be honest knowing or not knowing doesn't really make any difference to me, right now, anyway. If they do make a push into
EU i will evaluate more carefully before patronizing their services, as everyone should do already for current capitalists (for example in deciding which LAs to hunt on) -- who have no shortage of their own scandal stories. Sadly,
MA doesn't make a lot of stuff known to us, so it is hard to police by citizen action; nevertheless, i am reminded of the Marco quote in Dub's signature that we enable heinous resellers by our own actions: just don't go blindly forward, one way or another, is all.
One thing is certain: the
EU avatar Anshe helped to raise the final auction price of the malls, and for that we all benefit. Whether we like the malls or not, every large
MA sale in
EU is another recycling of all those legacy peds (and new money) into the "pool" that is
MA and potential publicity event for outside recognition.
