hmmm, well certainly the sim "owners" are subsidizing the user accounts for their services, including assets. Funny actually then that we have to pay to use the classifieds which is really just reaching these user accounts to try to recover costs for supporting their use of LL's platform. But really my point is that while you are paying for some services, you in fact are owning nothing.
Why not make people pay for inventory--or at least put caps on the free accounts? Maybe even supply some better tools to limit inventory explosion on avatar accounts. Er...maybe a petabyte (isn't that a dinosaur?) isn't that expensive when you can get sim "owners" to pay $3,600 per year?
LL is becoming increasingly less transparent also. What kind of a company closes comments on its blog--and moves discussions to the Forums? Why would they make their statistics "disabled"? Fair to LL?--maybe LL should be more fair to the customers and platform users?
expensive fruit salad
