I'm one of the unhappy players that left over this type of crap. After 3 months off, I was *almost* ready to forgive and forget and play a few more months til Champions Online starts up. Now they've hit my two hot button issues in one fell swoop - in-game perks for RL West coast attendance, and the ridiculous, useless, exclusive Closed-Beta-for issues process.

NCSoft will never get another dime of my money. I hate it for the good people they are laying off.
