As for the abuse of power and the NWO...
Think and say what you will. But the major participants of the NWO have and at great expense to themselves opened the pan map and game up for every one out there instead of the very few. As is seen by the number of coas now vying for and holding their own pans for the first time ever; the number of coas finally able to increase the total number of their pans holdings for the first time ever; the number of coas holding a peripheral pan for the first time ever; and the number of coas who in doing so and in working with other coas and members of the NWO who are now completing coa achievements for themselves for the first time ever.
And all often with the blessing of the NWO and/or its individual members, and in many cases as a gift at no charge from the NWO and/or its individual members. For which one does not see a single member or the members of the NWO personally taking advantage of the situation to replace the former few by making themselves the new, the few and the sole holders of 3/4 of all pans on the map running around abusing, using, manipulating, threatening and ordering every one else about.
Hence its a New World for every one and not just the members of the NWO itself. In which any one wanting to become the number one coa is not only welcomed and encouraged to do so, but now has the chance to actually compete with others for and to possibly achieve. With the only difference being that now you will have to actually split your time, forces, resources and money to actually and actively defend every single pan you hold in order to do so and rather than by threat and of retaliation by your offense alone just like every one else has always had to do.
The NWO is no where perfect making no such pretense, nor without its own warts and issues as this is new and unknown territory for every one. here. But the next time any one wishes to complain about their being tired of "such players" abusing their power, you may wish to instead stop long enough to say thank you to those who put their own time, efforts and money on the line and in the place of where your own mouth is to start the beginning of the end of the longest known reign of just such power and abuse in this game, and rather than simply whining about a lost and botched opportunity to try and personally profit for yourselves alone from their combined efforts and at the expense and exclusion of every one else here.
