These technical issues are certainly discouraging many users... many of my own landmarks were not reachable, and this makes SL a painful experience.

However this is not the bigger issue for me. The whole SL economical system seems to be downgrading constantly, specially since the gambling ban occured. On top that the new search feature that reduces the importance of traffic is making owners less prone to provide good camping...

And a-part from those users buying L$, camping is the base of all SL economics... I can't see any good days in future of SL right now.
