Collect what you like, I'm not judging, but I will not partake in the glamourization of such criminal actions in the game I truly love more than any other.
Peace!
Interesting tha you feel this way considering the tight wad owner certainly contributated to the way the palyeres felt hence the reason they felt the needed a pay day.

I don't think what they did was right but there is a lot more to it then just some greedy players looking for a pay out.
