This thread is a joke but still, the reaction to it and the general treatment to non-subscribers has made me think twice about becoming a member myself.
If people here tend to be hostile to non-subscribers, it is only in relation to freeloading (i.e. this thread). All of us support this site, we'd like to encourage other people to play, but there will always be people who try to take advantage of the free stuff.

However, it's really not fair to anyone if non subscribers start getting the same advantages as subscribers. After all, why should anyone subscribe if they can do the same things for free? So subscribers won't pay up for the next year, and newbies just keep on getting free stuff.

And if there are no subscribers, then how does the site get money? It'll die out! And that means thousands of people will lose the only life they have!
Think about it.

I am referring the the comment on flyunity made. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and besides why do you subscribe if thats the way if feel?
I was just saying that I seen rude treatment to non subcribers, if free is available, then let them have it, its like when you go to a donut store, and they give you a sample, you take it, and no one says your a jerk because you took a sample without buying some. thats just the way life is, its a marketing tool
