I have been playing since right after launch - I agree.
Additionally, the last two Test Lives/Beta were so bad, I stopped playing.
My standard practice has been to start a new playthrough with each Testlive/Beta release. so, stopping playing takes a high level of frustration because I prefer the game pre-level 60 more.
I was used to Testlive being down for weeks at a time, and I do not enjoy the solo game, so when the standalone server app became available, I started using it and it has been great, until the game code sucks all joy from the game.
