No, the original point really stands. The energy we have invested in |
| 58 |
EAPI bumping and what not is in no relation to the actual gain. The ROI |
| 59 |
on leechcraft has been negative, and not just by a small bit. The back |
| 60 |
and forth has been tiring, and the last-ditch efforts always come in at |
| 61 |
the last minute. This time it's going for sure. |
