On Hiatus for a bit

Hey everyone =) I know its been a while since my last podcast. I got hit with a lot at one time over the past month. A promotion at work that entirely changed my job LOL!, Programming taking up speed and more time than it previously did, and some other things.

I do not have the time to do a podcast for now, So I am putting the show on a temporary Hiatus. Hopefully I can get it back sometime =)

Sorry, for not updateing sooner but I was in california for a week this past week.  Thanks everyone!
Also, If you would like one of the episodes, or your here for the first time you can download any of them from

https://www.mediafire.com/folder/13aej80y2l3sv/Whats_Up_With_Trove_Episodes

I am going to cancel my Sound Cloud Subscription so the podcast will no longer be avalable from Itunes, Stitcher and such while it is on Hiatus.   I still play trove, So I will hopefully see everyone in game! =)

    Leechers, and Why there is nothing Trion can do to "Prevent" them without Hurting everyone!

    • Pro's for Preventing Leechers
      • Some people stop QQing
        • Temporary Fix, There will ALWAYS be something to complain about
      • Faster Challenges (As if their not fast enough...)
    • Cons for Preventing Them 
      • Close Calls? Everyone has experienced this
      • Terrible Lag Spikes
    •  Middle of the road
      • More people, Less loot?
        • People are still going to show up, Resulting in less loot anyway
        • 10 people there, with 3 leechers.  Even if the 3 leechers helped, There are still 10 people there
    Things that Should be done
      • Make LOOT drops on Boss Tag
    The only positive that I can see for Leeching being removed, is Faster Challenges. And the Con's for "Nerfing" leeching out-way the Pro's by far. I would rather There be 50% leechers, then Me loose out on my caches because I'm lagging or falling behind and cant "Tag" the boss.
