  1. I am very unhappy to be writing this, and am using an alt to protect from harassment by the OP and associates. This is the only post I am making here. I have been using goldhunt and fish products for many many many years. These forum threads are very disturbing to me as a customer, for the following reasons. 1. The lack of insight into his own product and how people use it. Nobody has cared about the land traffic rating for more then a decade. The primary motive is no longer the land number count but exposure for our products and altruism to the hunters(who are often new, or have trouble with other ways to get lindens). The land owners that buy Wili's sales pitch generally do not last long on the system, because the feature is claims to emphasize is obsolete for SL search. 2. The rudeness displayed to people on these threads when folks are not going along with it. We who use his products already have to deal with people thinking its trying to game the system, due to the use of old adds emphasizing traffic gains(that no longer matter, as per the previous point). The rudeness does not reflect only on him, it reflects on his whole product and his whole company. It reflects everyone who is associated with him, and permanently damages the reputation of ALL of the land owners who use his products. 3. The sketchiness. Recently, a woman on my land started bragging about how lucky she was to have a "Fish master". I seen the new fishing card system and asked her about it. What I got was a long, strange paragraph that someone owned her and she was lucky to be owned. I assumed it was some sex thing and just shrugged, but no, it wasn't a sex thing. She kept selling her cards for lots of L up front, but people are "owning" more and more percentages of everything she fishes, and now she earns very little for herself. She also admitted to me that she has a mental disability in RL, I do not think it is a troll, I think she has fallen for the worst combination of multi level marketing and ponzi scheme I have ever seen. To add this system of of owning fishers profits to his ideas about adding more "Credit systems", and the possibility that she is not the only one who isn't financially literate doing this, and is impacted by her disability, I am shocked and disturbed. To have a real credit system, a good financial system has background checks on those borrowing. He has none, and it again negatively impacts the health of his community and the reputation of the owners lands. How can "owning" 75% of a disabled woman's fishing pennies be at all satisfying? For the land owner, or for the company owner? It is uncomfortable, to say the least. 4. He is not who he is presenting himself as, and this is again shocking and disturbing to me as a land owner and host of his games. He is creating an image of the under dog up and coming entrepreneur. He is not though, as he is previously associated with "SL Capital Exchange", who have a bad reputation that precedes them, as well as past shady dealing involving bitcoins. There is a long long thread here about it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1346981.0 , with a lot of unhappy past customers and investors. Some of it must be taken with a grain of salt as some are clearly people who got banned from the game, but I can read Slovenian and the Slovene associated accusations don't look good for Wili. Where there is smoke, there is fire, and this is a California fire season air quality hazard. I am very upset and dismayed by all this, and have made the decision to pull all these games off of my land slowly of the course of the next few months, to give the community of players time to adjust. I will be strongly encouraging all layers to try out alternatives. This looks VERY BAD, and I am in doubt as to how this could possibly last and be sustainable, especially with a recent "Hacking incident" that has left residents wondering where there money is, and a recent "price run" on farm plots with over a thousand lindens per tiny plot being an " Emergency Discount", somehow. Tl;dr: Wili, your customers can use google and read forum threads. Think critically,
