I'm never angry at the devs for being slow. If anger does creep up and become my emotional state it's focused at Sony for causing the dreaded client error box. I'm sure all of you that help make a source available to be compiled are just like me in that you could be doing countless other things with your time but, you choose to use your skills to enhance something we love and for that I will be always grateful.
When a patch renders my current version obsolete I clean inventory out, clean out the parcel merchants on all my traders (always 100+ items over the 50 parcel limit), do turn ins for spells/CA's, and then I do research on my prospective gear plan(s) and evaluate/add to my list of goals. I found out a long time ago that if you have a specific goal to accomplish before you hit char select the sessions are not only more productive but, you have more fun when compared to the "log in and find something to do" method. That's about it, well... that and keep this site up on another machine and check for activity every half hour or so.
