Your latest post screams "God complex" to me. WP has not been and is not in need of a "savior." The shard doesn't have to follow your master vision to be successful. The economy slowing down any time you're gone? Bwa ha ha! People have always been able to gain scrolls on their own. Then you take credit for the shard's population growth? And voting -- it couldn't be the chance for crusader gear or other goodies that brings people to the voting stones!
Of course there was no warning. Nothing could single-handedly destroy the value of scrolls than to release 13k of them at once. After the venom that has been spewed since then is there any question whether it was right? Yes you could have dumped gold and tokens too and that would have required a rollback to fix. Ghost had no choice but to assume that after that morning's rant, asking the shard "who wants my scrolls" was a precursor to total liquidation.
This is getting old. We have a short but very well-defined list of rules. Anything not listed there is ok to do yet you continued to disrupt the play of others simply because you didn't like the way they were doing it. When one person's activities infringe on others staff has to intervene. You're trying to portray this as a knee-jerk reaction when in fact it has been building for weeks. There are several references in your posts to Ghost's "ignorance" and "over-reaction", and I think anyone that dissatisfied with the shard owner needs to play elsewhere. The only way to have a shard run your way is to have one of your own.
The overall tone of your posts is that WP has done well in spite of Ghost's actions, while I offer the case that it has done so because of them. The shard's operation has not changed during its 5 years and that's a major reason it is still around. Changes are deliberate rather than reactional. This case should be no different. You can play elsewhere and the Pines will keep right on going.
