I will remain non committal to a comment here, i am just sitting on the wayside and seeing what happens next..I have to say these things though without trying to be negative..LL less 30% of their staff, customer service not 24 hours anymore, there are less live events on the grid nowdays, believe me, i have spent time in world researching this, less user hours, but this could be less bots i agree, but if you keep a check on the log in figures they really havent changed, and dont tell me bots dont add to a login figure, i might be a little silly, but i am not that stupid, and as for user to user transactions, well it could be quite easy for someone to have a script to constantly transfer money between 2 avatars, the question is, what benefit would be achieved here, apart from making LL's figures look good ? and there is a LOT of abandoned land everywhere, not just on the mainland, this could be a big oversupply though as people are buying islands, and the failure of the new viewer to attract customers, i never thought i would personally..This is just what i can make out from another country that isnt in the U.S, and what i see on my p.c screen..
Oh, and i do find it a little odd that a certain third party viewer had almost half the market of logins before it got banned..
But overall, LL seem to be constant in what they are achieving..I think caution is the best advice here.
