It is a friggin' game and 1000 PED (or $100) are a chunk to spend on a game. If you don't get a decent time out of it then nobody can blame you for calling it quits and give the whole product a bad rep any time you can bring it up in a conversation. Big bankrollers are a small minority, they are just the most visible ones. I'm also getting tired of the pontificating sometimes.
While most can probably accept that activities with a high cost per click without a budget to match are high risk, the swings of average returns for totally appropriate behaviour with periods of weeks up to many months can dry almost anyone out. How many of these players stay on? I don't know, but I don't think it is a very smart strategy to push them to the brink. A mass of casual players should produce more turnover than a small group of those with a high throughput. If this is not the case as seen from the other side, then the thing to do would be striving to make it so. Which way does a pyramid stand better, on its broad base or the small tip.
