You're seeing a very small slice of time and making generalizations based on your very short time here.
Looking back, the majority of game time is when one particular type of play dominated, with people trying to Win it via "legit" methods. Sometimes Cards. Sometimes Contracts. Sometimes Points. Sometimes Economies. You came in-between times. We were (and are) trying to get an economy going. Unfortunately, it suffered a large series of distractions when some parties decided to Demand Attention without first trying to understand what was going on, using a series of nonsense scams that distracted everyone and detracted greatly from putting the "legit" game together. Interestingly, several other players who joined during the same time period didn't have the same issues. That all said, some pruning is needed. Several of the stubs attempted over the last year didn't really go anywhere and should be swept up (e.g. Organizations).

It's a huge tax.
