You're misquoting me. I never said that they dont deserve the spot unless they become your friend, I merely said that most people tend not to give spots to strangers and would usually give it to their friend. It's special treatment for people you know. There's nothing wrong with that now is there? Of course, you can be nice to everyone but there are more people who are nice to friends only than to strangers AND friends, dont you agree?

No comment xD
Quote:FM is free territory. Why should someone "own" the spot? Rather, they're merely temporarily "using" the spot.
If FM really is free territory, then why do people buy spots? why are people able to sell spots? You can't sell something that doesnt belong to you, can you? Can you rent a house and then sell the living space off to someone else? It's free territory until someone claims it.
Quote:The idea is the same though. You help someone and have them come back to bite you.
Sometimes, rewards dont really matter. Remember that time during the crystal quest when I would stay up an extra 30 minutes to HB you to get more? Then you promised that you'd split part of the Gene 30 with me and when you needed the money, you went with some "I dont have to tip waiters" analogy as to why you dont have to pay me? Even after that, I still hb'd for you. Im not entitled to HB for you yet I chose to. Just because I choose to give you hb, doesnt mean that the next guy should give you hb as well. Same with shops; Just because you choose to set up in one spot, that doesnt mean the next person should set up in two, not to mention that most people dont on purposely set up over two spots (I know I dont and if I did, it was by accident).
Quote:And you can't expect people to say please and thank you anymore either. =(
If you're doing something for the sake of getting a thank you, then you're doing it for the wrong reason and dont deserve the thank you anyways. Again, its something that people choose to do... they dont have to.
Quote:How about this. Let's say you go to the store and you see an item incorrectly marked as clearance 80% off. When you buy it, don't you agree that the shop owner MUST give you the item as marked?
People open shops and type in values knowing that all deals are final.
You do realize that I wasnt arguing about the ethics of buying undersold items, right? You just proved my point exactly: You feel that if the price is marked wrong, you should just buy it and deserve it but the VoltesV person still feels its scamming/taking advantage of the situation and demands you give it back. This is a difference in opinion, a difference in view. Is either of them wrong? nope, you two just merely look at it differently. Likewise with shop spots, there is more than one way to look at it and while you find it an issue to take up two spots, some others might not. Neither of you are wrong, you just both see it differently.
Quote:As I already said, people don't "own" the spot, they're merely using it.
As I said, if people dont own spots, then how can they sell it?
