It'd be really nice if there was some ethos here beyond greed though. Everybody likes to pretend it's about 'earning' the item but the less of these items the more valuable they'll be, so it's in no one's interest to help anyone else. As insane as it sounds waiting 80 hours on a petition to get one person thrown off a list is better than waiting 40 hours to help him get the item because all you're doing is lessening your own monopolization of power by getting someone an item you're trying to keep scarce. These items should just be made no trade and be done with it or just start it with them disabled. It's becoming a ZEM situation where by leaving something like this in all you're doing is encouraging behavior that is decidedly not classic and against the spirit of the server.

But certainly for the present age, which prefers the sign to the thing signified, the copy to the original, representation to reality, the appearance to the essence... illusion only is sacred, truth profane. Nay, sacredness is held to be enhanced in proportion as truth decreases and illusion increases, so that the highest degree of illusion comes to be the highest degree of sacredness.
-Feuerbach, Preface to the second edition of The Essence of Christianity
