Marc,
It isn't that some people will pay less. It is that I have to pay more for the same service I've been getting. There is NO WAY that it is pure coincidence that the rate hike came at the same time as AutoYouDoOurJobForUs.
They wanted incentive for people to do Harley's job for them. They didn't want to cut their income. SO, instead of a discount for people that reduced their work load, they added a new fee for those that don't feel like doing Harley's job for them.
This is a heap load of B.S.
Oh, I forgot, using this bulky, time consuming, annoying crap, is supposed to help me far more than them. Yeah right. Need a bridge in Brooklyn?

Fair enough. Some of the comments were complaints that other folks
had the opportunity to pay less than the poster. Yours weren't.
I don't mind paying more for better value. Compared to DGE/GSI I get
better value and I'm paying the same rate that I was 4-5 years ago.
When they foul up my army orders they fix them; DGE/GSI did not.
Games fill faster, etc. There are fewer odd restrictions and things
just work better.
There are some new scenarios that are interesting and they appear to
be working on things (like the online map project) that would add some
real use.

I suspect that the personnel load from fixing errors with a clunky
program was a bigger factor than the labor costs of inputting turns.
There are elements of both service and self-interest in the automagic
program; for instance, there are some input errors that can't be fixed
without great pain given the ME program (such as market buys/sells.)

RD: Fascinating stuff Marc. I wonder how you find time for pbm? You've heard, I suppose, that divers have discovered a lost city under the sea off the se coast of India? This speaks of an advanced civilization there over 10,000 years ago!
