I've participated in several conversations about equivalent features
on text games. Not as an incompetent way of getting more money, but
as a way of covering angles to allow other design decisions.

This issue sticks out like a sore thumb - if you've worked through a
full design of a MUD for anyone in the solar system, you can't miss
it.

If SCS is the only thing standing between you and a really good
setup, I say go for it.

Mountains out of molehills. I give this issue a couple weeks max
(and I don't even mean a couple weeks after SWG launches).
