It's perfectly fine for folks to volunteer for the Hall of Unrepentant Looters. Really, it is a difference of opinion as to how people should behave towards one another. Would you like to be on the list HeyMAMA and SlayerBlade? It's natural for people to want to self-sort based on political opinion. If so, SlayerBlade, I'm not aware of you in game. Are you SlayerBlade there as well?
Re: Getting off your ass, sucking it up, and whining. I have a few comments:
1. If discussing something you don't like about another individual's behavior is whining, then you are also whining by talking about how you don't like it when people talk about looting. You should get off your ass and stop reading so much or suck it up and deal with the fact that folks generally don't like looters.
2. It is inherent in the game structure that archers and mages attack from a distance, just as it is that warriors have high defense. It is also inherent in the game structure that people communicate communicate. If you look at the game systems, combat and communication are both about equally weighted.
3. For a free market society to be healthy, people must vote with their dollar and with their speech in order to influence the behavior of businesses, elsewise the society moves towards its basest urges and devours itself in favor of quantifiable growth.
