Here's my 2 cents, it may not be too well formulated, and I know a few tipiters could say it a lot better than I can, but here we go. Lately, we've had a string of updates, each supposedly put in place to stop Real World Trading, however, they seem to be doing something else as well. It seems that "less desirable" parts of the game are being (rather effectively) taken out of the game. Look at what we've seen: Duel Arena focused mainly on "gambling", Merchanting, while not being removed from the game, was effected to a great extent, therefore stripping it of being one of the larger focuses of money-making. We arrive at today, December 10th, to find that the aspect of Player Killing has been neutralized, softened up, and re-released to the public as nothing but a minigame. The thought of a place full of people looking for nothing more than to steal your riches has been chewed up and spit out to the mere idea that is the Bounty Hunter minigame. They're doing nothing short of commanding and controlling. I'm sad to say that our future as 'scapers isn't very bright. Think of me what you will, I'm just entertaining a thought, a muse, perhaps a revelation into whats behind said updates.
