Well the original intent was for players who were completely done with the game and were in good standing. But some players (no names mentioned here) decided to use it as a safe haven. The retirement district pretty much restricts everything, you can't train or do any crimes. You can't buy or sell items.
The Chief asked me what the purpose was today via mail, and wanted to know if I would ever think about eliminating it from the game. I asked him to post this topic, since I wanted to know what everyone else was thinking about it. I sort of knew the higher-level players without numerous combat targets would agree it probably should be removed.
Yes I am thinking of removing it because it's usefulness has seemed to diminish. That doesn't mean my mind has been made up already though. So discuss the pros and cons of it
