Then I realized with such a small account getting an IPO is a privelege, not a right. If u have this mentality it can control your emotions. I'd agree if they hadn't started off with First Come First Serve. When they went from FCFS to Lottery they took away a system in which a person could control their own destiny (or at least their chance to get an IPO) and replaced it with one where you had to beg "please, please, please!", wait for manna to drop from heaven, and you can never know why you didn't get an IPO or if you were on Double-Secret Probation so you would never get one. I honestly believe that for some reason my account has been black-balled and it will never get another IPO. They will neither confirm nor deny, in order to ensure "the integrity of the process." Someone who never had something may grumble, but try to take it away from someone is used to it and now expects it and they'll raise hell.
