The game ain't perfect but I estimate we lost more people on S2 over time then we did just from 3.0 related stuff. As time goes on people will naturally get tired of a game. Hell, to keep it real with yall right now, NO is the only game I ever played for more than a year straight, and I still have no intention of quitting. I look forward to playing the 3.0 features more once they come out and I agree there are lots of things that could be done better but you could do like many players and just not pay for stuff any more. I don't plan to quit the game any time soon and eventually I will start spending again. For me its more of a personal finance matter than anger towards the company that is preventing me from recharging lol..but I digress;

There are measures you can take outside of quitting and still enjoy the game. Sure that random 140k ass hole might ruin your SWB streak but * it. You still get advanced refines anyway lol.
