Very little actual information in the steps.I just went back to the Zygor site for the first time since and read through the marketing. I can tell you that just by reading the tone of that site, it&#039;s filled with G R E E D! Not to mention BLATANT LIES! (no one is getting banned from using a leveling guide! besides, it would be the author in trouble; not the player.) Fear shouldn&#039;t be a marketing tool.I&#039;ve ALWAYS been impressed with Dugi&#039;s professionalism and ease of manner. Why people in here find it so easy to bash him makes me wonder if you share Zygor&#039;s sense of greed.Dugi, to me, represents all the good people being screwed by those w/o a conscience! Keep fighting the good fight, Dugi. We&#039;ll keep right on supporting you!On a side-note, I support Tekkub fully and believe he develops some of the best addons one could ever hope for. He rocks! It&#039;s Zygor&#039;s attitude and penchant for distortions that I don&#039;t trust.BTW, I&#039;ve been aware of all the TG addons out there because since the first day I downloaded it from Tekkub&#039;s site, I won&#039;t use anything else. TG and Carbonite = LEVELING BLISS!Dugi&#039;s is the BEST TourGuide-based addon out there! BAR NONE!-Neville]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been a customer of Dugi&#8217;s for a long time.
