This thread has gone away from its original line... BUT... i do hope this has been a bit of a lesson for Jon.
Sadly bud... everything that has been said, i have heard from many players and the context and content has been the same.
When you are a player with a heap of creds... its a great thing to be able to help others... as i said, I along with a number of guys i know have always been free to help out up and coming players with gear, ball and advice etc.
For guys to see someone doing some of the things listed above, it grates them horribly.
My advice Jon.... let this thread go, my initial point was a bit of a wake up call as to how it is viewed by a lot of people on and sadly your responses have lead to this out pour of comments.
I would maybe have a think about some of the things that have been going on and then change tack.
This kind of thread is meant to help lower level players who may not have the creds as they are not at a level to earn them or dont have the cash to put in. Not players who justify taking these offers, when they are creds rich, by saying that they give too.
Lets get back to the good stuff that was going on...
