Take a war off. Relax, plan a getaway with the family, etc. I know a lot of the guys in my faction did that for China. We still finished top 500 and wives and children were happy. It only gets to you if you let it. I am dedicated to my faction and helped when I could, but overall the weekend with my girlfriend was uninterrupted and very relaxing. Find factions that understand there is more to life than online games but still gets a decent finish. We have found ways to reduce spending and playing time while keeping in the top 500. Hope this makes sense.
