Its possible that i've lost the gist of your argument
I was just making a point of randoming into a kd was what made utopia so much fun back in the days. I dont mind trading, i always been for it, even thou i think it was better when it was illegal but for other reasons. I was just pointing out there was some merits to answer #7 even thou other parts were wrong.

Ghettos traded more.
Dont really think so, just that ghettos was more clumsy with their trading which ended in more visible cheating. "Top kingdoms" pretty much hade better part of their kds traded, never did ghettos have, at least not the ones i played in.
