And if you are so bothered with people spending loads of money on this game, look to your own side. I hear people consider Qucal Elusive 2. Don't get me wrong, I would way prefer this game became a subscription based game. It would put everyone on an equal setting and cut out the advantages people with more money to spend have. In Eve they have a model where you can pay monthly or someone can pay for ur subscription in exchange for resources, which is a fairer deal...$2 a month is a decent figure and USS/SS can be scrapped. There ends your money bugs.
But reality is anothers. We should not mention "our" or "your" side. I think its the same on both sides, just count how many players uses USS to hide planets with merlins. Thats weekly $50, or each 2 weeks $50, ore once per month $50. Plus turns from black market. Its not only about trades between players, but... few players earned loads money on SGW.
If your saying it ll started cuse THAT bug... well. i can imagine another story where someone can tell it started cuse you had a bad day and massed someone from your black list. its inpossible to exactly tell who started "money bug". maybe The Jason.
If we go deeper to your story, than we think about it, it should be some kind of "acusing" few old TA members of destroying this game? Well, there are more players who destroye game, not like we know SGW, but like we knew empires 2 - 3 years ago. When even thinking on attacking one of empires decied about your fortune.
Your blogs are nice writen but im still missing bit more info about the rest of game... not just ETL's allaince vs TA buggers.

Heres a place for someone else who wanna add your storyes.
