About three weeks ago, while in the midst of a battle for company workers, I noticed shadow people taking up the job offers I posted. You know, the ones with no avatar that became citizens just a few minutes before taking the job offer. Now I believe in a non-discriminatory hiring policy but these shadow people never actually work and seem to disappear after being hired.

Why would someone do this? Who benefits?

I f youre a citizen of the eUSA, because of the low population, you know how difficult it is to hire workers. Post openings with the highest paid salary and soon enough someone will post a higher salary. Constantly checking and upping the offer by $.05 or a dollar all day long. Its challenging but also a PIA. I think most dedicated players are settled in to one company or another by now.

So, are they newbies just checking things out or is it something more sinister? Sure, I suppose signing up for the game one of the first things you want to do is get a job. But getting hired and then never working has happened to many times for me to believe its just a newbie thing.

But the question still begs an answer. Why?
