The point that I tried to make about slavery was that "If you don't like it, just leave" does not support an argument. If someone views something as genuinely wrong and they are an ethical person, they're not going to leave; they're going to try to change it. Instead of insulting them by telling them they should leave you should try to find reasons why things should stay the way they are. I'm not saying I agree with the OP or anyone else here, I'm just saying that I'm annoyed by the "don't like it? just leave" argument.

Frankly, I am just here to play. I think if the OP had approached the community in a different way, let's say, NOT beating his chest and assuming a pose of superiority then I think there would have been more agreement.
I will admit to being an asshole, and Yukface and Eqgamer. I apologize for writing the inflammatory things I did,and I hope that we can sincerely put this all behind us.
Now, let's think about the issue at hand. Think about root cause. We have more and more players but the content remains static. Throw in the people who can and will lock down certain spawns and camps, and you have frustrated players having to farm platinum to buy the items that they would rather have had the chance to get normally.
New content, like Kunark, should go a long way towards shifting the camps away from the classic content, and thus giving people a better chance of getting drops.
Moreover, the new content will probably necessitate some tweaking of the server rules, so there is the possibility of change in the offing. I think the powers that be could be considering this though they do not publicly state so.
But, at least for me, the rules are the rules and until they change they should be adhered to lest they become more draconian because of actions like training, killstealing and other assorted thuggery.
