Im holding back on mine I mean the DLC content will be there I do not need a new race, the arena's are solo but that at least is standard DLC price. If the test servers are not ready and it is inching closer to Sept for a release I have GTA on pre order its done then. I feel your frustration - trust me!!
And no I am n a break from the game. I am still around on the clan forum and doing boring geeky stuff in the background :P I saw Sam online yesterday and I know he has been hosting event with spit, grims, and some others. I posted in our leader thing I just needed a break from playing mainly because I do not want to keep leveling up my ego doing activities that have become way too repetitive. Along with all the patching and bugs. I have got through 2 games since then and am just having fun without the hassel's. I told Sam to give me a couple of weeks thinking it would be time for the DLC. We will see
I have noticed many friends are not playing as much now if at all and the ones that are started playing more recently.
