Scully, now that I think about it I really don’t care. Now that is not to say that my opinion has changed or is not sincere. It just means that I don’t have any reason that I disagree. Other than I don’t think there should be a epeen for it.

That is completely valid, and I personally thought that all the leaderboards should have been retired when ep 2 hit.

I have two reasons for bringing it up. The first is that if it is going to happen now makes sense. Things have settled, we are not seeing wild back and forth movement. ET announced in idc the day that the auction house opened that there would be peens and that they would be implemented once the initial frenzy settled.

I don’t think it would be terribly fair to pbum on it after encouraging players to devote serious time and effort to competing for the promised peen.

The other reason is that I believe it will help reduce some of the flagged for abuse auctions. (That is of course pure speculation and hinges on whether those in the top spots will keep on with their wacky bidding wars once they grab the peen.)

Plus it’s a bit odd to have peens for all the other leaderboards, but skip a couple.
