I'm just gonna say, for those commenting when they

a) were in the NN before they disabled auto join and made it opt-in, which the majority of people who comment in this kind of threads happen to be
b) were in the NN for a few minutes/hours, saw something bad and automatically assumed that's how it is the whole time

Try to get better informed before commenting, the current situation of the NN in all servers is not the same as what it was before they made it opt-in.

Also I thought by now we all would agree that Balmung is a special case in almost every single topic and anything that happens there rarely applies to other servers. Balmung will always be the only server that almost never gets sprouts unless they decide to pay for transfer, Balmung will always be the only server where even houses and even all apartments are bought up in minutes, Balmung will always be the only server where people complain that they find other players ERPing in their houses.

I'm not saying all novice networks are perfect, but the system is working well in most servers that aren't Balmung or Hyperion.
