I have a tough time understanding how I was played. I reserved a team in the conference, then MikeT and friends lied and said they were all leaving. I have no reason not to believe him, why would he lie? Having taken his lie at face value, I asked customer service to please withdraw my reservation and put the season back on my account. This didn't cost me money, this didn't have any effect other than MikeT getting himself temporarily banned. If telling a lie on the internet = playing somebody then, well, you guys are champs I guess.
As I said, you guys successfully prevented a user from signing up for another team in a new world. Congrats.
