Agree with everything you say.All admins make servers just for money,and 90% of them don't even have a shit of knowledge
So,there are 2 solutions->
[*]Go at a famous GOOD server(let's say RPG club,or Dex-Though they have some bad points,they are kinda good)
[*]Search for a new server,which atleast isn't THAT CRAP,and you know how the admin acts
(second is kinda difficult,but anyway.Join IRC #L2Insomnia as well)
About voting sites...everyone pays for votes,what did u expect?What's the point of having a legit topzone?
