Seems kind of cool. I know there are a lot of npc's in the game that defected. They could add a bunch of story to it. It would be really interesting. But its just an idea I'm throwing out there for the population ratio issue.
Why do they have this? I sell almost everything I get, and now I have to make a 2nd char to list my other stuff. I get a ton of greens from treasure hunting. I hope they increase the cap some day.
