It's not really that, it's that we didn't need this spawn, a lot of people hate it, and that money could have been used for a lot of more constructive things like making towny better, new minigames, a new tech for a little bit.
Why pay for someone when we have people, why spend that money elsewhere when spending it on the broken everything is smarter?
