wow - I never saw this as an attempt to "control the secondary market" but rather as a tool that can be used - or not. It serves me as a locator service and nothing more. Yes, sometimes the cats you TP to are missing - I assume they've been sold as there are usually many others still there and present. And, honestly, using this system has gotten me to stores/sims I wouldn't have usually gone to - where I've spent way too much time browsing other kitties for sale that are NOT listed on the site (okay - some came home with me too...
What am I missing? Not sure where all the attacks are coming from. Yes, there are all kinds of "potential" issues that MIGHT happen - but saying the tool is bad because of them is like saying cars are bad and we shouldn't use them because there might be wrecks, injuries etc. It's a tool - all tools can be misused - that doesn't make them bad
