I dont know anyone who likes it. I know of casual players that hate it, too. It doesn't help them to be able to play once every 2 weeks only to hit fatigue in an hour or two of playing.

I've taken to just ignoring it when I get it though like you, I'd prefer to just have it removed. I do think I read where they are going to give exp bonus to players who havent been online but that's down the road (Im indifferent to that).
