Say, that sounds awfully familiar. Clearly you'd get a higher
number, but I'm not convinced you'd get a higher percentage. We get
a lot of griefers, but they aren't a big deal in the main. Design
restrictions stop them from causing too much trouble that the system
can't stop automatically, and human administrations solve the
rest. I haven't played SW:G, but I strongly suspect that Achaea
devotes way more man-hours/player to this sort of thing than the big
worlds do.
