From: Hiro Pendragon 2. I don't like how Anshe runs her land reselling business, but it's far from the only thing she does. I would imagine the majority of dwell she gets from her other projects, and not from her reselling land that no one is even hanging around in since it's unbuilt. Look where Anshe was in past DI award rankings. Then look where she is now. I'm totally fine with her getting awards for the usual sort of thing like hosting events, building malls, etc. But the new model has some wrinkles that need to be ironed out, and her getting top DI award for people hanging out on land they paid money for and pay money for each month is too much. She already gets paid multiple times for them hanging out at their own homes. Does she need to get paid yet again? I think LL would better spend the award money on people who are struggling to hang onto their sims or other land, and are doing something more creative than running a land reselling business. Note that I am not harshing on Anshe here. I have a good deal of respect for what she's been able to to in SL. But I think if things keep going the way they are going, in a few months the DI awards could be the Anshe awards, and I don't think anyone but her would find that useful.
