You're half-missing the point of why this is trash but also half-right. The problem with this is that it's just another thing that makes Zone like Era. As it stands, there's nothing really unique to Zone anymore aside from 360 shooting and a different skin with sounds. Everything else is the same:

******ed-ass pets that serve no function
Housing with similar systems and purposes
Trading done in the exact same manner (Now)
Buying money
****ING GOD DAMN HATS THAT PEOPLE GO BAT**** CRAZY OVER BECAUSE THEY GOT ACCUMULATED TIME

This is off the top of my head. What made Zone special was that you had to work to earn everything. You couldn't get things handed to you. You had to kill people; LOTS of people because they normally only had 1-20 bounty, so it took a while. With the revival of Zone in the name of iZone, it has lots of potential to set itself apart and be unique. Be Zone. Make us proud and all that jazz, but no. Instead Stefan had to make it an exact duplicate of Er with minor differences.
