Maybe they meant strangling. That's why they aren't posting, they are out strangling people.
I'll tell you what, then. Why don't you call me some time when you have no class?

Is this referral mic on? It's free stuff and stuff, in game.

It's "struggling".

Also, it's fair to assume that as the subscriber player base goes down, the revenue from the CM will INEVITABLY go down too, unless of course...

EVERYONE is supposed to believe the urban myth that F2P and Preferred, the same people who don't pay for a sub, are the ones spending all their dough on the CM.

Stress isn't some minor thing. Even a little stress can result in bad health consequences. And stress is cumulative. Three small stressors are worse than one big one.

Here's a good read from the Mayo clinic. A quick Google search will show you just how bad stress can be...

And some stress is actually good for you, thanks google for that info:

Helps to keep perspective in mind in these debates.
Yeah but try not to infer my perspective. POT5 is a good example of being often "light" these days but I don't say whether the game is dying or not (except maybe back when it literally was) or let one server experience color my general view.

Correct, but work environments aren't the occasional "good for you" events that keep you on your toes, they are the chronic, pile on some more before you deal with the previous stress that eventually grinds you into the dirt.

If so I could sympathize.

Actually given my experience with other F2P games that is in no way a myth some of the more hardcore F2Pers out there literally drop 2 or 3 hundred dollars per month on Cash shops and to be perfectly honest all I can say when I hear of people doing that is "more money then brains"
