although this was slightly offset by an underwhelming performance for its games on North America. This, it said, was a result of "certain operational challenges" in the region.

I imagine they do. Most exploits are released on purpose.

You would think they'd notice their game is becoming incredibly biased to money spenders when they're player base goes down but profits seem to rise. Which is rediculous.

Oh, no trust me I'll be the first to tell you first hand they're all morons for even releasing pomegranate to get it patched. You have no idea how some of those exploits get released to the public because the site that shall not be named releases them when other sites and/or people wanna make money off it, they release it....why? Immaturity and greedy.
What I just wrote, is fact, and lots of proof everywhere. it's a shame....over their it's like Middle School drama type pomegranate with full grown adults, no joke.

Learn to read, dear, that is not even within the ball park of what that said.
The percent of people who pay went from 8.3% of players to 10.9% of players.
It had less users, but the ones who stayed were made up more heavily of paying players; IE they lost a lot of truly free to play peeps.
No where does it imply the people who stayed paid more, they were just more likely to have paid this year, period.

You mean like them duplicating our status checker after weeks of failed attempts to capture ours in an IFRAME and claim it as their own, just so they could have one too?

With much, much more. But that's pretty sad, I'm sure they didn't want anyone to know that, lol.
