The whole land-scanning issue is an interesting one. I tend to think that land-scanners should be banned, because it puts land barons who have the talent or money to get them scripted at an unfair advantage over everyone else trying to deal with land manually. But LL doesn’t care about that, they love automatic scripted thingies to pieces, especially if they can either lease or co-opt them, and knowing this, I think it will be interesting to see what they do with Rathe’s system eventually, maybe they’ll just GOM it or Telehub it, either take it over or make it obsolete.

I find land-scanners to be rather low forms of life, myself. They often profit over other people’s misfortunes, and not all of them return accidently abandoned or sold land. It’s so funny to me to see all the high and might of the forums turn out to be despicable land scanners, whining about other people whom they view as “immoral” for things like buying a second piece of first land on an alt, and whining about “illegal scanners,” when they are merely a slightly higher level of low-lifedness themselves.

Example: Weedy Herbst, first off her block to seize land that I’ve witnessed — land scanner, scooping up land somebody priced too low or released, for her profit, to resell, crabbing at people on the forums over their scanning. Hilarious.

Another example personally witnessed last night: Nolan Nash — remember him?! Imagine! I had to adjust one of my group’s tiers and saw a piece of land wasn’t renting so I put it at $750 for a 512, it was in PG, just so as not to take the time to sell it etc — and who should show up to grab it with his land scanner but Nolan Nash. Meh. What a low-life!

I guess land-scanning is the FIC’s secret vice.

his customer service sucks

dont buy land from Rathe!

let him just sit on all that land and pay max tier forever

I’m sorry, let me repeat that: his customer service sucks ie is non existant

meh I don’t actually care that much but I can’t sleep so I’m typing
