I hope this starts a downward trend.

As spiteful as that was it is a valid hope of many dissafected people who used to play the game and seek to see the lab taste a little of their own shitty treatment of people. I guess like all comments that the fanboy's can't stand to see it was grayed out.

What i saw from these figures was a CLEAR movement down int he hours per week charts. While T went all out to try and hide this with statements about Bots impacting heavily, look at the next two groups of lines. One drops by the same amount one rises. This means nothing but people are playing less. This is backed up by voice minutes also stalling.

Other things that became clear to me was that while the number of European users rose and US users dropped the user-to-user transactions increased a little. Of course T doesn't mention that European users and User-to-user are fairly tightly tied. Due to taxes and such it is preferrable for these user to pay in Lindex. Each tier payment they make causes a 4x duplication of real money.

Q4 will indeed be very interesting, if for nothing else but how the Lab's PR machine and T try to lie to paint a rosy picture. Try to hide how bad things are going with some meaningless figure painted to be actually important.
