Well, everything has to come to an end eventually. Though I definitely think there is merit in discussing different view points. I enjoy reading them as well. I used the word 'argue' because it is a little more intense than 'discussion' and some of the word choices from page 5 were sounding heated in comparison to the earlier posts of the thread. From my point of view, it looks like everyone is pretty much in agreement but one could get an impression that folks here disagree due to their differences in word choice and tone.
That said, my original post was brief because I don't think there is much to discuss here anyway. So, actually, I suppose you are half right. This:
Quote:Is it okay to sell the right to purchase a plot of land? Yes, supply and demand. Basic economics.
Should everyone be required to donate a plot to another RPer? No, but if you do, that's pretty cool of you.
...could basically sum up the entire thread, including Ckayah's posts. The difference is, Ckayah is concerned about communal identity to which I have a proposal for. Which leads me to...

It is not our place to set any standard, precedent or expectation as to what we think people should do with their time and gil within the bounds of the ToU.
It is not our place to ascribe such actions and transactions, as undertaken by individuals, to the RPC community -- whether the individuals are part of the RPC community or not.
But we CAN say what we think about it!
Definitely agree and I can see why folks might be flustered about this thread, as it can be viewed as calling people out for not being charitable. I think if we focus on what nice things people are doing and not what they aren't doing then we can get some better results on improving the community.
Giving a shout out to Tea? or other folks who help out the community is one of such ways.Â
(We could make a shout out/thank you/recognition thread!
