It just so happens that my sense of satire coincided with the truth in one case.
You just come off lately as if you are deeply disatisfied with a lot of what's happening here at GT whereas I don't believe that it's all that big of a deal. Sure it takes some authority from the mods, but since probably only dedicated members will be able to afford most of this stuff, I seriously doubt it will become a problem. In fact, I think I remember somebody winning mod abilities for a short period of time and that went ok. Sure some abuse happened but that's what made it fun and interesting.

Basically, I feel the doubloon system adds more to the forum than it takes away and while some of these purchases perhaps give members a little more power than most of them desearve, I really don't see it getting out of hand.

I guess I felt that you just seem to come off a lot more negative around here as of late than you used to.
