Not an option. I've invested a crapload of time in my RP, both ingame and on these bloody forums. Now I'm basically being told that I've been ridin' the gravy train?
Not likin' it.
Howdy folks, feel a bit like the neighbor poking his head into a bit of a domestic argument, but here goes.
I'm still rather new here, but from the POV of the outsider looking in, it seems like the issue here isn't really so much that people are taking affront to the way that TAZ is conducting its business, if anything TAZ has been heralded as being the standard to which zoners should be holding themselves. The folk putting the work to earn the lofty gifts granted by being a zoner.
Then you have every singing nancy running about with a store bought 'ZOMG don't shoot ahm a zoner buahaha' type tag, which is cutting into the fun time of the people who deside to fire up their internet spaceship game.
I could go out and buy one right now, maybe I just wanna run diamonds to Tokyo all day long for my pew pew character. Not good RP, but I'm sure it happens.
So, seems like a trouble between those folk who put in a bit of effort to make good on the Zoner credo and reap the generous RP and practical rewards that follow and those unregulated folks who might be on that same track, but might be trying to ride that gravy train that Mal brought up.
Thing is, seems to me that when people come around to play the game and they see the parade of zoner tags floating on by, they're just going to start shooting, and then everything's going to fall down.
Solution? Maybe a bad one, probably a bad one, but it might be that a {TAZ} or similar tag at the end of the name might add the weight of legitimacy to what seems to be otherwise an abused super trader ID.
