bingo! I have semi retired for the second time again, the first time was extended. I've gotten sick of the constant overlapping events. It's the overlapping more than anything that kills this game for me. It's literally like a job to keep up with crime city and if you don't attempt you just slide backwards. So no, an extended period of time does not make it more enjoyable for me personally. It's a frantic pace which has become more monotonous than entertaining for me
