It's not legitimate in the traditional sense of netgaining. There are plenty of newbs that will argue differently, but the fact is landtrading was kicked out of e2025 because everyone saw it as bs, the only reason it exists here is because people have things to fight over already, if there was a large alliance with nothing to fight over landtraders would be the first ones killed.
While I see it as a problem that most people are creating this new idea of what netgaining is which it is essentially based on how much aid you want to get, I suppose not everyone sees that as a problem/illegitimate.
Some fool that has no idea about netgaining will soon enough come out with the "its an alliance server" line, they always do.
I don't see how landtrading equates to aid. And considering Laf, Sof, Rival, MD, Lcn, Tie, PDM, Evo, RD, Omega, Sol, DKnights and Icn all participate in 'landtrading', who is left to kill the landtraders?
And finally, what is 'traditional netgaining'? Do you mean back when there were hundreds of untagged countries and hordes of smaller alliance to provide land for players to bottomfeed? The reality of the situation is that this type of netgaining isn't viable for the majority of the server...so what are we left with? Everyone plays all-x except for a handful of techers who farm the living hell out of the handful of untagged countries remaining?
