Although Destin may have been rolled December 27th (consequently already very late into the server's development and shortly before the holo ban, so you already aren't an authority on what was happening then), we have screenshots and logs of you in your 20's in South Karana in late January. How can someone in his level 20's in late January, post holo-ban come on this board and pontificate about what was going on back then between holocaust and nihilum? You were a non-factor during that.

To respond to your other "point," well there's nothing to respond to, you simply restated your point. I spoke to many people, and since I actually use facts, I have no problems listing them, who all said they joined for the loot. Applesauce, Murderface, Madude, Elks, Sektor, Tehruoh, Bronkus, a couple of newer people that wouldn't appreciate me saying their names, plenty of others that I simply can't think of at the moment and that I'm too lazy to sift through screenshots for.

By the way, inductive reasoning involves making a conclusion that because X appears this way, therefore Y is that way as well. I have made no such claim here. I've stated many of the people I have spoken to have stated they joined nihilum for loot, and therefore it's safe to assume more people joined nihilum for loot beyond them. I put in a disclaimer that I'm sure there are those who did not and believe they are on some mythical EverQuest higher ground waiting to be awarded a nobel peace prize for abstaining from PVP or something like that. Inductive reasoning would imply I said that because one player said he joined for loot that I have therefore concluded ALL of nihilum joined for loot as an absolute conclusion.
