I assume that was the feeling. Many are finding out what happens when you deal with a principled business person.
Bwahahaha, holy shit that made me laugh. It is
immensely apparent that Team Avalon has poor business experience, and
for the record I have no problem with that. It's good for a company to stumble as they did, so long as they learn from their mistakes. In the end it makes you stronger. This, however, has
yet to happen..hence the humor of you putting them on a pedestal.
With a ROI of 6-12 months, you know they will keep the gear on the network for that time, keeps it just the much more secure.
Speaking of security, since when is
vastly raising the bar to entry better for the network in the long run? Instead of thousands of people saving their pennies to make a purchase, Avalon is instead tailoring to a hundred customers who have substantial amounts of cash lying around. This sort of circles back to my comment on their "business skills"...
Hope people are looking at other motives than just profits.
Dalkore, I trust you've been here long enough to understand that (for the vast majority of people) profit is, in fact, the primary motivator.
