Hello,

I'd like to address your list if I may.
1. An unsecured system is a user-be-ware system and based soley on the trust of the ava's is question. However the system is already set up to ensure that the user is aware that no safety exists in trades and that all trades are considered final sales by MA.
2. MA has always been the only authority - no change here.
3. Again - No change
4. This is always an option for players and occurs for other reasons as well. Player turn over (or churn) is common and planed for by MA.
5. Actually MA does make money when players leave. There is a fee for withdrawl of funds.
