It seems my post has hit the mark about the approach to established PoB's being simply bulldozed in-game without regard to the health of the community.
I am so disappointed to see personal attacks by what appears to be long-term players, rather than debate the issue. That is unacceptable and I would hope the GM's have taken note.
In light of the discussion I have proffered to the GM's that destroying long-established bases like Goldgeist and Eldorado, no matter what can be justified legally ingame, is detrimental to the health of the community. I am sure you will be interested in their responses. Link
