What would make you think they are making a turn for the worse?
They are continuing on the path of cleaning up the skins that in the past offered bastardized deals to steal players from other skins which ended up just eating up the Network.
A turn for the worse would be closing a skin/buying a skin and then not paying the players funds owed. Carbon is trying to right the ship from everything I have seen. Only time will tell, but the closing of these skins based just on that information alone is positive.

Players online down 30%+ in the last 6 mos.....
Just saying bro.
All I know is, ATM I would rather have a large amount of money on Merge than Revolution. At least I can withdraw in about 1 month or less instead of current 3-4 Months on Revolution (well I could pay 20-30% vig in immediate transfers).
I've not heard of any recent withdrawals taking a month at Merge. 6-10 weeks seems to be the standard lately, with a lot of people on the longer end of that.
Lock has WU (for everyone, not just those that have deposited WU several times), and withdrawals take less than a month. My last one took 15 days to have cash in hand. Some people have taken as little as 8 days, while some others stretched out to maybe 4 weeks. I'm about to withdraw again so we'll see.
So between Merge and Revolution, I'd much rather be withdrawing from Revolution (Lock). P2P is also still active.
The WU fee is 10%, and you get one free per month, same as with check withdrawals. So if you're not withdrawing multiple times per month, WU is free. And even when you pay it, 10% beats most of the vig options out there. So it's not what I'd call high.I guess I have not followed the Lock WU withdrawal (although that comes with high fees)

The biggest issue with Lock is that the max withdrawal is $2500 and you can only have 1 pending withdrawal at a time, so getting a lot of money off quickly is a problem. But then, so it is everywhere unless you can P2P.
My Merge comments were based on before the changes (dropping P2P) and even after with BCP and the other smaller skins. Merge is trying to consolidate the network on Carbon and Sportsbook skins only, so it makes sense they'd get the best cashier options and faster payouts.
