I know that very very few people know me on tengaged. There are many reasons for that.
Regardless, I wanted to offer my firsthand experience with the shop owners. I still need to wait before I can explain things fully because my personal intentions are still a secret.
Let me tell you I am a level-headed guy and am pretty critical of everything. I was going to wait until after I did what I needed to do with the shops to voice my opinion, but its hard to see ev32 get bashed and ridiculed. Many guys who seem funny, intelligent, level headed and whose blogs I enjoy reading are being immature and down-right rude to ev32 for running his shop the way he wants to run it.
I personally believe EVERY shop owner who has continued on through the weeks have done what they can to do succeed. This includes playing the game and using carry over, pricing their items so their shop can continue, etc. The man paid for his shop and people have the option to buy his items or refrain from buying them. As long as he is not breaking the rules, he is entitled to do what he wants with his shop, like everyone else has been able to.
On top of that, I never even knew ev32. Regardless of the criticism he gets on a daily basis, he offered his generosity to me, somebody he had never met before, and did me a favour. He is not as bad a guy as people are making him out to be. I personally wanted to thank him and am saying people should give him a break.
